轻骑少侠那几个回复俄也不太能够请教。如果说腾空+扭转只是为了过门,那么下图这位所作的,就不太好解释了:
这个是Headwaters Chutes,据说有45度的倾斜角。
注意点杖的动作,绝非蜻蜓点水而已。俄认为这就是提供动力的一种点杖方法,跟racing的slalom相同。
进一步,图中这位高手有如下一段论述,关于steep,可以与图相印证:
In any case, the idea of a "carved turn" on very steep terrain (at normal speeds) is quite different from carving linked "railroad tracks" on flat terrain. The engagement, pressure, and reverse-camber carving phase must start much later in the turn, when the gravitational and centrifugal forces of the turn combine to pull you "out" of the turn. Resisting these forces provides the pressure you need to bend your skis and carve. You must be much more patient, allowing these forces to develop, to carve on the steeps.
What do you do in the mean time, while you're patiently waiting? You prepare! You focus on releasing the edges to start the turn--not engaging them. You guide your skis down the hill into the turn, rather than expecting them to carve, as you allow gravity to pull you down the hill. You incline your body into the turn--it will feel like falling--which will both tip your skis and move you inside the path of your skis, where you will be in balance later, when your skis engage and carve back beneath you.
Note that these turns are "carved," in the sense that my skis pretty much travel the direction they're pointed, as opposed to being pushed sideways into a skid--even in the upper halves of the turns when they are unweighted. When the edges engage--about at the fall line (when they point straight downhill)--my skis are already tipped to a high angle, and I am inclined well inside their path, so they can carve cleanly through the middle and bottom of the turn. In the top half of the turn, my skis are light on the snow and I'm guiding them actively along their path with my legs. In the bottom half of the turns, it is easy to get enough pressure and edge angle to bend the skis into deep arcs, so they can continue to carve the same tight radius I guided them into in the upper half.
While my skis are very much "unweighted" at the top of the turn, these are hardly "hop turns." Hop turns begin with a quick leg extension from an edge set, momentarily increasing the pressure underfoot as you leap into the air. By contrast, in these turns there is very little "up" motion through the transition, and my legs extend to their longest only as I incline through the top half of the turn. These turns end with an edge release, where my skis have rolled off the high angles of earlier in the turn and let go of the mountain, as my body crosses over and moves down the hill. Instead of the big effort of an extension (hop), these turns begin with relaxation, as I let go of the pressure of the previous turn, allowing my skis to continue to move forward beneath me, as my body continues its existing motion across the skis' path and down the hill.
再进一步的话,这位老兄还有一个视频。视频就主题来说,不是专门表现这套技术的,但有太多地方是鲜活的体现:

当然基本上说到这儿,俄这套花枪,也就算耍露馅儿了。俄还是老实一点,承认这里所谈的一切都来自这位BB老兄。racer那个不过是障眼法,以racer说开去比较容易惹人注目,才拿racer说事。
当然racer的slalom,跟BB的steep滑法,的确是暗合的,倒也是俄的一个发现。 |
