Emanuele stands out for the lively action of the feet and the corners, but together with Valerio Malfatto by Jam Session we analyze his skiing and try to give him an advice to invite him to Sciare Meglio and to enjoy more of his action. As we always divide this content into a part of "Analysis", we define an "Objective" for Emanule and see which exercises are suitable for achieving this goal!

Lively ANALYZING of the feet and edges for Emanuele, good! Do not be distracted, however, you are always with your mind on your feet or the bust in rotation. Ok in long curves the search for the contrast to the forces, with good edge grip. Watch out for the failure in the three-fourths of the curve. OBJECTIVES1) In tight bends avoid sudden drifting of the tails.2) In the long bends remain solid at three quarters of the curve, without yielding.EXERCICE1) Try to emphasize the intention to keep the tails "inside", to cut combined with the intention to go over the feet with the shoulders, to go from one curve to the other.2) To think of wanting to change the edge with the muscles pulled (feet, thighs, abdomen). This will make you feel strong at the corner e and during the phase of release from the old corner. GUIDE AND SENSATIONS In conclusion, three guiding ideas for Emanuele: The first: from beginning to end, try not to let the carpet come out from underneath the second guiding idea: to go to the change of the curve thinking to get your feet over the shoulders. The third idea is driving, especially in the long corners: very tight muscles in the phase of the end of the turn and all the change to avoid sagging.
