dgCarve Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Great riding. I was surprised to see clean carving from Karl B. He used to be "old school" rider - take most straight line and drift. Nice change from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledecka charges out of the gate and has to drift the first few turns, and then fully carves the rest. Crazy how she can take a year off and come back and win on day one. Hoffmeister has her work cut out for her! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffV Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Great racing! Would love to run gates on a course like that vs what I race in my beer league nights. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was charging hard. To me it looked like she lost edge in the second turn because of the really rough course there, drifted as a result, and then it took her couple turns to fully recover. So, it could be that drifts were unintentional. Or maybe my assumption is wrong... She rides amazing regardless. That's why racing technique is my favourite. Gives lots of stability, and chance to recover, and... you do not have watch up the hill constantly .

SunSurfer Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ledecka has just won a Skiing World Cup Super G event as well. https://www.eurosport.com/alpine-skiing/val-d-isere-2/2020-2021/ester-ledecka-wins-women-s-super-g-glory-in-val-d-isere-alexis-pinturault-triumphs-on-the-gran-risa_sto8040117/story.shtml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
