Alp getting used to skiing again… despite remembering absolutely nothing about ski technique – his body itself has retained a certain level. From his first turns I could instantly see that he was using dynamics correctly.
Video clip 1: Now Alp has been taught again how to consciously push the centre of mass downhill into a turn. Tentative but this is to be expected on day one.
Video clip 2: The only difference is that Alp is consciously trying to keep is feet closer together. Despite not having skied much he is responding to instructions well.
For the moment we have to keep the speed down to a comfortable level. Each day we will be able to advance things further – the key at the start is patience. We also today had a look at how the feet work inside the ski boots – this should help develop greater stability.
Not a huge amount to report today – it was more about getting Alp back up to speed safely.
Today’s views…
