Used by beginners who have confirmed the book definately assisted and sped up their skiing progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlight was when a family I had taught to ski, 2 adults and 3 children, presented me with a card that the children had drawn themselves thanking me for teaching them to ski and the enjoyment it brought.\u003cbr\u003eMy method of teaching is Keep It Simple so you will not find any technical jargon such as Directional Rotation, Flexion and Extension. What does this all mean? How does it help your skiing? This guide is in plain English and easy to understand bite size chunks. I will take you from been able to ski in a straight line to carving the piste leaving those enviable train tracks behind you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearning to Ski\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no right or wrong method to skiing therefore I will offer you alternative techniques where necessary. If one technique does not work then you can try another.\u003cbr\u003eIf you are starting your skiing career then I would recommend arranging private lessons setting yourself a goal for each private lesson as to what you want to achieve, sharing this with your instructor. A word to the wise though do not set yourself any more than 2 stages in one lesson for the first four stages. On a group lesson each stage will take at least an hour to complete, reading the stages you want to complete before you go on your lesson in conjunction with a private lesson could potentially halve this time therefore saving you money. Although as individuals we all learn at difference rates so do not be disappointed if you do not achieve your goals as quickly as you were hoping for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stages I will take you through:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 1:\u003cbr\u003eSki in a straight line\u003cbr\u003eThe Ski\u003cbr\u003eYour Boots\u003cbr\u003eGetting Used to your Ski’s\u003cbr\u003eSide Stepping\u003cbr\u003eCorrect Posture\u003cbr\u003eSkiing in a straight line\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 2: Control your speed\u003cbr\u003eHow to ski Slowly\u003cbr\u003eHow to speed up\u003cbr\u003eHow to slow down\u003cbr\u003eHow to stop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 3: Able to do turns\u003cbr\u003eMaking your first turn\u003cbr\u003eTurning the opposite direction\u003cbr\u003eTurning both directions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 4: Able to link your turns\u003cbr\u003eLinking your turns\u003cbr\u003eThe Flex and Extend\u003cbr\u003eMaking Sharper Turns\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 5: Starting to parallel ski\u003cbr\u003eThe Traverse\u003cbr\u003eThe Traverse with Snowplough Turn\u003cbr\u003eThe Traverse Flex and Extend\u003cbr\u003eThe Hockey Stop Turn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStage 6: Able to parallel ski\u003cbr\u003eThe skiddy parallel turn\u003cbr\u003eThe cycle effect\u003cbr\u003eGetting on to your edges\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Mayman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068601254128,"sku":"2940011470035","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011470035_p0.jpg?v=1763549433","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011470035","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
