Elbow down and solid to avoid rotations

Today's video is dedicated to Beppe, who demonstrates that he has a good progression and that surely could improve his style with some small tricks that prevent him from rotating his torso too much. Together with the founder of the prestigious Ski Akademy Jam Session we analyze skiing, we set two goals and explain the exercises and the driving ideas of Beppe for Sciare Meglio.

ANALYSIS.In the Beppe descent the left shoulder is always rather backward, which causes rotations in the curve to the left with loss of edge, while in the beginning of the curve to the right the left shoulder is braked, backward, and the whole curve is executed in retreat and with a certain passivity. OBJECTIVE 1.Secure the shoulders and the trunk opposing the rotation in the left curve. OBJECTIVE 2.The goal for Joseph is to enter the right corner no longer with the left shoulder back but with the shoulder left that goes forward and down. EXERCISE.Solidity in contrast to excessive rotations, from shoulder to hip to foot, from foot to shoulder to shoulder. All the external side must be solid and sturdy compared to someone who would like to turn in the direction of the curve in an excessive way. First exercise, for the left bend: during the preparation of the right stick in holding down the right elbow. Oscillo the right stick with the right elbow bSecond exercise, for the right-hand bend: relax the right thigh (inner) well to give value to the support on the left foot, with high muscular tension on the left side from the foot to the thigh. GUIDE AND SENSATIONS. , useful on the right as on the left. External elbow to the low bend already from the corner entrance!
