Thank you so much Joel!! Have never had anyone tell me what I am supposed to be doing when I am skiing so super fun and can’t wait tell the snow is gone so I can get back out on the water
Hey Joel! Honestly your advice is pretty spot on! That video was earlier on in the season and I slowly started to figure out my timing and rhythm. I will work on my feet though! Thanks again!
Thanks Joel. Really appreciate your time alanyzing my skiing and your suggestions. That nice lake in the video is Winterset in Florida... a friend owns one of those houses, but I live in Canada and things are starting to get pretty chilly here right now (if the lake wter temp is above 10C I would be surprised). Soon it will ice over up here. I may get one or two sets in still but they are more survival sets than learning sets so I won't be able to really try your suggestions until the spring.... or if we are allowed back into the USA at some point before the ice here at home goes out in April 2021!!!
❤ Looking for advice for an unusual problem. In many years of slalom skiing, I’ve always found it easy to come up out of the water as long as I press very hard with my back leg, to stabilize the ski. Unfortunately, I’ve recently been diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm; my cardiologist (also a skier) has cautioned me that that portion of the ski run could prove fatal to someone with my condition since, when I strain like that, especially if holding my breath, systolic pressure can momentarily rise high enough to rupture my weakened aorta, causing instant death. I’m looking for a technique (or preferably a ski) that doesn’t require me to press so hard with my leg. Have you any advice more preferable than that of my cardiologist, which is to quit slalom skiing altogether?
