Neil Gendzwill Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I don't think about breathing when I'm riding. When I'm running I note that at an easy pace, my breathing has little relation to my actions, but at a hard pace it is in time with my strides: this is quite common among runners. For sudden effort, like lifting a weight, breathing out makes it easier. I'm not sure you can even breathe in effectively when you are really trying to hoist something. In kendo, we deliberately train to breathe out for any attack or series of attacking motions by yelling at the same time as we move. Next time I ride I will maybe pay attention to what the breathing happens to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoonyMcGroomer Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I find that grunt-screaming like Maria Sharapova works best to regulate my breathing properly while carving. Actually, as a beginning yoga student, I am learning the benefits of timing one's breathing along with the activity/exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I practice breathing exercises regularly, just not while riding. It has absolutely helped my mental game. I ride fairly erratically. I would probably end up hyperventilating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is just focus on one thing. When you've committed that thing to muscle memory focus on a new thing. I was joking around with Jack, he is a good friend :). I've been carving for 30 years so I don't consciously need to think about all these things anymore. When conditions are difficult or while carving the steeps is where I need to obviously focus a little more on my form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 lonbordin, don't upset GeoffV. He wanted a bite of my PB&J sandwich. I said I would think about it. He then broke this board over his head. I gave him the sandwich. Don't upset GeoffV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look at it closely myself, but it appears to be the Gestalt associated with the coincidence of lines - the crease in my pants on the front leg aligns with those of the back leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The counter rotation came from reaching forward with my right/back arm in order to get the shot I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this referring to your riding style, riding schedule, or both? Personally, I just hold my breath until I see Erik J on the hill... I can hear Ski Patrol now, "We need an oxygen tank" "what happened?" "Don't know, found him on the side of the hill passed out and not breathing."

GeoffV Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Great pic, your expression says it all. To have groom and conditions like that in the East would overwhelm our sensors ? This is also a great visual of a decambered nose, look how far up the the edge of the board is being used. This is exactly why I don't detune my edges. Nice work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
