In this winter, the sport of skiing can be said to be participated by all. Perhaps because the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is coming, many friends have joined the sport of skiing. But for many friends who have never skated before, how should they learn? Are there any tricks? Today I will share with you 10 essential skiing skills for beginners! Save it now! 1. Skiing skills
1.1. When holding a snowball fight, you should first put your hand through the belt, and then hold the belt in your hand, so that even if you fall, the snowball fight will not be thrown out subconsciously.
1.2. There are two types of snowboard shapes when skiing, and beginners use a figure-eight shape, also called a wedge shape. When decelerating, the point of force of the feet is on the inner heels of the feet, and the chest and abdomen are raised to ensure that the center of gravity tilts forward.
1.3. When standing on the snow, never sway your feet in your boots, as this can easily sprain your feet. And when walking in the snow field wearing snow boots, the heel should touch the ground first and the steps should be moderate.
1.4. Warm-up exercises should be done before skiing, such as leg stepping, chest expansion and other exercises, as long as the body is fully mobile. Of course, you can also do some step exercises and take a walk, which can help promote the stretch of the calf muscles and facilitate skiing.
1.5. If beginners want to take a rest during skiing, they should remember to stop at the edge of the ski slope, and always pay attention to other people skiing down to avoid being knocked down. They should also remember to avoid skiing when returning to the ski slope. Drive others, be careful of getting hurt.
1.6. Even if you fall while skiing, do not cause a collision, because a collision is too dangerous and may be life-threatening.
1.7. If beginners lose their center of gravity when skiing, it is best to let them fall, because this way they are less likely to be injured. Moreover, it is best to take off the snowboard when climbing up and put it back on after standing up to avoid a second fall.
1.8. Suitable snow boots should allow your shins, heels, and insteps to be gripped tightly without feeling pressure, your ankle joints can bend, and your toes can move and grip the ground. Therefore, if they feel inappropriate, they should be replaced in advance. .
1.9. When skiing, the center of gravity should be forward and not backward. The calf should press the snow boots forward firmly. Hold the snowball in both hands and lift it forward, with both elbows and knees slightly bent.
1.10. Beginners should remember that before taking off or installing snowboards on a slope, they must first adjust the snowboards to be perpendicular to the snow track, otherwise the snowboards may go straight down the slope. 2. Three basic downhill techniques
2.1. Straight downhill refers to the technique in which the two boards are parallel and slide down in a straight line facing the vertical fall line. Through straight downhill practice, you will mainly master the basic sliding posture, experience the speed, sliding feeling and center of gravity position, and improve your ability to adapt to different slopes and control your snowboard. The technical focus of straight downhill is to use leg flexion and extension to adjust and maintain the correct sliding posture.
2.2. Incline downhill refers to the technique of forming a certain angle with the fall line, using double-board parallel or plow downhill, and sliding down the slope. Through slope downhill practice, you can mainly master the technical characteristics of sliding on the mountain and the slope at the bottom of the mountain at different heights, as well as how to use the edge and changes in body shape. The downhill technique is the main content of the basic skills of alpine skiing. It is widely used in various turns. It can be said that skiing is actually completed by downhill and turning movements.
2.3. Plow downhill is a technical action in which the snowboard forms a figure eight and slides down the mountain in a straight line. Compared with straight downhill, in addition to the different shape of the board, the difference between the two is that deceleration or stopping during straight downhill is not only affected by changes in terrain, but can only rely on the stopping method; while plow downhill can be adjusted by adjusting the figure of the figure during the downhill process. Size and change the strength of the edge to control speed. Therefore, some people call plow downhill as plow downhill. The change of the plow braking degree is controlled by pedaling and retracting at the same time. 3. Tips for handling falls
There are three "don'ts" when falling:
Don't support with your hands, don't move your hands and feet, and don't roll your body.
When you fall, you should sit back to the left or right, with your hands on both sides.
After falling, you can use your hands to support your hips and body and squat on the snowboard to stand up.
You can also place the snowball fight behind you and use your strength to support your body.
