Levi is making a great attempt to coordinate a lot of new movements – dynamics, pivot, getting forward, hip angulation, using the upper body actively (moving laterally across the skis) and controlling rotation. (all those elements are visible)
Here’s a short comparison video clip where there is excessive body rotation.
We overed so much ground I’m just going to reference other posts which cover the subjects..
- Dynamics
- Skating
- Pivot
- Combining Dynamics and Pivot
- Postural Reflexes
- Hip Angulation
All those subjects above are to be found here…
The “Punch” can be found in the following link by scrolling down to “Day 5”
- “Punch” with the uphill arm to force the upper body laterally across the skis downhill
I don’t have any examples of Compression turns – it’s when you don’t extend to create dynamics – you compress (on a bump) – skis together – pivot – and use a strong pole plant
- Compression Turns
We covered a lot of ground and much of it was visibly working already – results will come from this rapidly.
