Skiing snow is to use a good blade, and the key to using a good blade is to change the blade. Blade changing is the key link to connect and start turning, and skiing is to smoothly connect one turn with the next, so both carving technology and straight technology are the most critical core technologies. I have completely read Eric's "Skiing the Whole Mountain", Lito's "Skiing Breakthrough Series DVD" and partially read Harald Harb's "PMTS" online tutorial. In fact, the core technology of the three masters is to change the blade, and the method of changing the blade is exactly the same. However, their skiing textbooks also have the same defects. First, the textbook explains how to skate, but it doesn't say why. Secondly, they deny the similarities and differences between traditional techniques and traditional techniques in details, thus misleading skiers. Below, I will try my best to clarify the difficulties and key points of various blade changing methods in principle, analyze the inheritance relationship between new technology and traditional technology, and welcome experts from all walks of life to make bricks.
1. pear shape Everyone knows that pear shape is the simplest. Why? Because the pear style does not change the blade. But pear shape can cultivate the feeling of turning inside the blade, so pear shape is the foundation, and beginners have to practice it.
2. Semi-pear-shaped and semi-pear-shaped means that when turning, the center of gravity is placed on the inner edge of the downhill board, the uphill board is opened from the outer edge to the inner edge, and the turn is completed in a figure of eight, and then the new downhill board is merged with the new downhill board, and the inner edge is replaced by the outer edge. Half-pear shape is the simplest way to change sides, because the process of changing sides of each plate occurs when there is no load. The tool changing process of semi-pear-shaped blades is slow, and the double plates are splayed during turning. It's just a parallel transition, so beginners must practice to experience the feeling of changing the blade for the first time.
3. Traditional Parallel Method The traditional parallel method originated from the straight board technology and is the most commonly used teaching method. The traditional parallel type releases the center of gravity of the downhill board by pulling in, transfers the body center of gravity to the uphill board, presses the downhill board hard, changes the downhill board from the outer edge to the inner edge, and rotates the downhill board to complete the turn. In the process of turning, the downhill board completes the inner edge to the outer edge, and rotates with the downhill board, keeping parallel with the downhill board. The traditional replacement sequence of parallel blades is that the upper disk bears the load-the outer edge of the upper disk is replaced by the inner edge-the inner edge of the lower disk is replaced by the outer edge. Because the inner edge of the lower plate also plays the role of support and balance in the process of tool changing, it is relatively easy to master, but the disadvantage is that there is always a time when the double plate and the inner edge stand at the same time, and then the double plate is opened. In order to keep the double plates parallel to the maximum, the traditional parallel type needs to pull up and down sharply, and try to press the center of gravity on the gable to reduce the support of the gable. In addition, the action of turning the snowboard comes from the straight board, because the straight board can't turn by itself, and the traditional rigid sliding method can also complete the turn without turning the snowboard.
4. How can perfect parallelism (middle) be perfect parallelism? It's simple. Just change the order of changing blades. First, the inner edge of the downhill board is replaced by the outer edge. Because no one can erect the outer edge of the downhill board at the same time, the outer edge of the downhill board can be automatically replaced with the inner edge, which is the core of the new technology mentioned by Eric/Lito/HH. The complete method and sequence are as follows: the vertical edge of the double-deck declines obliquely-loosen the vertical edge of the double-deck to make the double-deck smooth on the snowy road-the tail of the downhill board shifts to the uphill board100%-the outer edge of the downhill board automatically guides the inner edge of the downhill board to start turning. This method takes a long time to change the edge, and it is a completely parallel technology in the middle.
5. The method and sequence of complete parallelism (advanced) The advanced full parallelism technology is as follows: the double-plate vertical edge inclines downward-the tail of the downhill plate is lifted to release the inner edge of the downhill plate-the center of gravity 100% shifts to the outside of the downhill plate-the downhill plate directly exchanges the inner edge and automatically guides the outside of the downhill plate to exchange the inner edge-the uphill plate does not rotate after the edge exchange, and it is automatically completed by using the characteristic that the carved plate vertical edge is bent. Using advanced completely parallel technology to replace the blade and combining with carving technology to slide, you can slide out a very beautiful continuous arc on the snowy road. The skier's upper body does not move much up and down, and his legs swing from side to side like a pendulum, which is coherent and natural. Lito and HH called this gliding way phantom movement, and Eric named it "bipedal carving". I prefer the name bipedal carving, because if you want to slip out of pure carving, you must use completely parallel tool changing technology. Phantom movement is profound and mysterious. I don't know what the name means, but it's not mysterious or profound at all. Double-foot carving releases the downhill board by retracting the legs, and turns by changing the blade without rotating the snowboard, so it is easier and more stable than the traditional way without pulling the body and pressing down.
6. The completely parallel tool change is completed by leaps and bounds, and the next step is to study the fastest tool change method. As the name implies, jumping is the fastest way to change the blade and direction of snowboarding in the air, which is suitable for steep slopes, Muggles, Woods and other difficult areas. Kick-up and one-legged jump are aerial versions of completely parallel techniques. First, the downhill board is lifted and vacated, and then the uphill board can choose to change the blade without leaving the snow surface. Under the condition that the snowboard is unchanged, the blade is changed in one-legged jump, the blade is changed by 90 degrees in one-legged jump, and the blade is changed by 180 degrees in one-legged jump, so it is called one-legged jump. It is worth mentioning that there is also a traditional straight jump technique that is also very practical. The method is to take the tip of the board as the axis and jump at the tail of the board to change the direction of the snowboard. This is bipedal jump and small turn. This technology works well in Mughal shops in Longfei Road and Menglong Road in Bandung.
7. The relationship between traditional technology and new technology. Traditional technology and completely parallel technology are in the same strain, and there is a complete release-transfer-engagement process. New technology is an improvement rather than an innovation of traditional technology, and traditional technology can be used as a good foundation for moving towards new technology. This also shows that skiing techniques are mutually integrated, complementary and learn from each other, and skiing techniques should not be divided into tourism and competition. Tradition and new; Straight, carved, etc. Instead, you should choose and practice your own skills according to your own level, and eventually lead to advanced skiing.
8. Practice methods of complete parallel technology All the textbooks I mentioned have practice methods of complete parallel technology, but I think there is a lack of emphasis on key links. Skiers should focus on the key links and practice the auxiliary links with less energy. Next, I will analyze the key links according to the principle of completely parallel technology and put forward the practice methods. The core of complete parallel technology is one-leg balance! Because in the center of gravity shift stage, 100% of the load will be transferred to the gable, and the gable will slide and change sides with one foot. Before, during and after blade changing, there are three single-leg balancing techniques: one-leg vertical outer blade oblique sliding, one-leg horizontal oblique sliding and one-leg vertical inner blade oblique sliding. Practice from easy to difficult, according to the order of inner edge-smooth-outer edge. When the inner and outer blades are inclined to slide out of a clear arc on the snowy road, turn to the mountain road and stop. When it is smooth, it should slip out of a straight line. When practicing, the non-load-bearing legs can be completely lifted off the snow surface, or they can be gently placed on the snow surface to reduce the difficulty. Practice the inner edge, smooth, you can complete the intermediate biped carving rotation, practice the outer edge, you can complete the advanced biped carving rotation.
9. The misleading of HH The teaching materials of HH are misleading in three aspects. One of them, HH, claimed that his method was suitable for skiers at all levels, from junior to professional level. But as I said before, the key to the complete parallel technique is the balance of one leg, and it is still difficult for beginners to balance their feet. What about one-legged balance? Lito and Eric's textbooks also prove that HH's method is not suitable for beginners, because the methods advocated by the three masters are the same, while Lito and Eric clearly stated that it is only for skiers above the intermediate level. Therefore, HH said that completely parallel technology is suitable for beginners to practice, which is absolutely misleading! I changed the slogan of completely parallel technique to: "the direction of primary skiers' efforts, the goal of intermediate skiers' practice and the way for advanced skiers to improve their skills." The second misleading HH calls his skiing style "direct parallel", which is easily understood as that you can practice parallel directly instead of pear style, but this is not the case. Direct has both direct meaning and continuous meaning. According to the teaching content of HH, the correct meaning of "direct parallelism" is complete parallelism or continuous parallelism. I think even English-speaking skiers may misunderstand "direct parallelism", so I think it is more appropriate to call this technique "continuous parallelism". The third misleading is that HH and Eric are the same. They both deny traditional technology and do not discuss the relationship between traditional technology and new technology, which is also a typical misleading. Lito's textbook is slightly better than theirs, but he doesn't compare the similarities and differences between traditional technology and new technology.
10. The way to promotion From the above principle analysis, it can be seen that the best way for beginners to promote is to step by step from 1 to 6, and the time spent in each step varies from person to person, but each step requires solid practice, and "advanced placement" will never have a good effect. Knowing the methods and principles of each step and the direction of the next step, targeted practice can get twice the result with half the effort. Mastering 5 and 6 completely is equivalent to opening the door to advanced skiing skills. You can become a real master by practicing and mastering related skills in standing posture, pole-pointing, small turn and all-terrain (power /Crud/Mogul/ forest/steep slope).
Snowboarding:
1. Push the slope in front, face down the slope, and slide down in parallel.
3, fallen leaves, facing the slope, opposing the alternation of slopes, sliding left and right, taking the Z line.
Remember, whether it is a single board or a double board, you must choose the one that suits you, which is related to the technical points. The most important thing when skating is safety! It's hard to say exactly how to choose. Anyway, the ski resort staff will help you! If you want to buy it yourself, you must choose carefully!
