ANALYSIS - EURIDICE Pretty well coordinated in the short corners. Strange structure in the long curves with high and outward elbows and a certain passivity of the leg and foot inside the curve. OBJECTIVe: change the attitude of the arms in function of a better effectiveness of general arrangement. Second: activate the inner ankle much more, the inner heel so as to give more inclination to the back part of the inner ski. EXERCISE 1 Roll the stick resting on the wrists. In this way the elbows are relaxed downwards, and the attitude is natural and loose. In the development of the curve bring the shoulders to the hands and the hands to the shoulders. EXERCISE 2I imagine having a tennis ball, a ball, under the heel and having to tilt the ankle laterally inside the curve. On flat terrain, tilt the left to start and continue the curve to the left. And the right ankle for the curve to the right IDEAS GUIDE AND SENSATIONS1) Low elbows and forearms that diverge, acquiring absolute control over this perception2) Internal ankle that must overturn the inclination from one curve to another and increase the inclination during the development of the curve.
