scotts.Scheinman Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 For some reason when i get on steep blue runs, i can do a few carves and then i slow down. i dont know why, maybe i'm a little gunshy. Does anybody know what to do or have the same problem(or a solution)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Glynn Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 When I'm teaching a new skill that is speed related on a steeper pitch sometimes I'll not work on the skill from the top of a pitch but close enough to the bottom so that there is a safety net feeling with the pitch flattening. So for example if your few turns ,let's say, are 5 and then you slow down, wait till you are seven or eight turns from the bottom and then see if you can carry your speed through them out into the pitch change. When you are comfortable there start your faster carving a little higher etc. Soon you will realize that you can do the whole pitch at speed and still be in your comfort zone. It's just a matter of easing into it so that you can build confidence. With confidence comes relaxation.Relaxation opens the door to learning.
