牛大侠的说法值得商榷
http://www.epicski.com/t/133518/ ... op-of-the-turn-mean
Most recreational skiers make "left" and "right" turns. Their focus is on getting to the bottom half of the turn, to get the skis pointing in the new direction. They rush the turn entry (quickly pivot the skis around to the left for a "left" turn) so that the skis won't spend much time at all pointing right nor downhill. They make Z-shaped turns, or upside down J-shaped turns.
Getting rid of this habit is annoyingly difficult. Simply resisting the urge to turn the skis manually around usually isn't enough. You need something to do to replace the pivot so that there will be a top to the turn. Your result will be a C-shaped turn, with time spent going right, then down the fall line, then left (in a formerly known-as "left" turn).
Getting an early edge engagement high in the turn and then patiently waiting for the skis to turn themselves to face downhill is the objective for advanced skiing. There are many steps in between a pivoted entry and those fun-to-watch world cup initiations, however.
Most teaching tactics for the in-between stages focus on getting the hips (or whole upper body) to go diagonally downhill across the skis in a significant way before the new turn begins. This turn entry, with the skier crossing over the skis early and high, is part of a good "basic parallel turn" entry. It doesn't require a carved entry, nor speed, nor blue/black terrain, nor high edge angles. As an instructor, you'll need to know how to teach a good basic parallel turn entry, so to pass the next level exam you'll have to be doing one yourself, without the quick rushed pivot at the top. A key word in this process is "release." |
