Today we talk about the projection of shoulders and torso towards the new curve.

To make you understand the exercise we use a bench. Now to simulate the position we sit on the bench slightly through and imagine to be bent in full curve versosinistra, in edge hold with the ankles well solid. Anticiamiamolo out towards the new curve: the movement will be to get up from the bench projecting the shoulders forward. This projection in front of the new curve, combined with the action of getting out of the chair, allows us to obtain a very effective cutting action and the maximum edge acquisition in the curve being resolved and, at the same time, brings us to the phase of change with a right timing. with the right projection in the new curve.We can see that the shoulders are the first part to move towards the exit of the curve and that this dynamic must be respected in the execution on the snow, on pain of a strong and sudden retreat in the phase of change.
