How to master the skate course


















You will need




  • Skis, sticks.




Instructions





1


Pick up skis and sticks for ridge walk. Skiing should not be too long. Choose them is as follows: pull up your hand, straighten your palm and put next to one of the skis. It should not be above the middle of the palm. In general, the longer the ski, the more difficult it will be to master the skating course. Sticks should not be above the level of the chin.





2


Come on the ski track. Choose a place that is not heavily snowed. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult for you to go "herringbone". Take the correct position of the body for the ridge run. Bend a little back and legs in the ankle. Push them with both sticks and walk a few meters, without moving your legs.





3


Transfer the weight of the body to the left side,pushing away with his left stick and taking his left leg slightly to the side. During this movement, put the right foot to the left boot and take it to the right, making the right push with the stick. Overcome several hundred meters, alternately rearranging the legs, and pushing with sticks to the beat.





4


Remember that you do not need to go too farthrow the stick forward. This can not only slow down the course, but also cause a fall. On the slopes, try to push harder and tilt the body forward.





5


Practice skating on skis as possiblemore often. Forget the time for the classic style. You can only use it when sliding down. Try to overcome as many mountains and plains as possible using a ridge method. Then you will not only master this style, but also develop endurance and physical strength. This all will allow you to quickly overcome the ski distance in the future.
