Spinning on the skis

wa-hey!! i can do that! i didn't have a clue what you people were on about but then i watched the video. i can't explain what i do, but yes, i spin! i was taught to do it on the mittermoos in niederau years ago wearing blades, holding hands in pairs and in a group of about 5 or 6 people (best fun ever!) and then managed to do it on skis. L.

to jan/stenmark,
i've just looked at your gallery of pics. they ARE stunning, quite, quite beautiful. have only passed the Auhof en route to rudi's at the top. i am literally sitting at my computer salivating at niederau, especailly the one 'twinkle twinkle little village' or words to that effect. am trying to persuade friends to re - book for niederau next season, but they want to go to kitbuhel for new year. sigh. will email them the link to your site. my cavalier king charles would love it there ...L.

Thanks for the feedback on tips to get the spinning working. The snow was too thick to give it a dedicated try yesterday; but with all the methods on how to do this and do it well, I'm sure with practice it will come.

I think one reason we slightly older creatures like to take any opportunity to jump or be "launched" into the air; and try spinning -- is to maintain our youthful outlook. After all - there is no law stating that only the kids can have fun on the snow

Congratulations souldrive

So being a new spinner what part of the insrtuctions that were offered do you think were the most valuable?

Straight legs from jan was the crucial bit of info, the aspect i focussed on most anyway. Keeping weight downhill too! if you put half hour solid into it you'll get it. It's not really that difficult, when you know how.

Cheers!

Thanks souldrive,

We have only 4 more weekends in our Nova Scotia season so I had better get that half hour the next time out and get this working. Last week I almost had it working but didn't spend the time to nail it.

Congratulations once more ... you have added a new life style skill to your skiing this year

Souldrive,

The Italians may say MACEECH!!! ( forgive my spelling But I understand that means COOL!!!)

Your song "Sunshine", Souldrive is right out there with the best ... it has the sound of confidence and determination!

Hayley made a great attempt but I think the battery gave out in the end for the focus control

I think Jan should his comments on your style and form BREZ. There were lots of revolutions but I couldn't see from where the continual driving force was coming.

My spinning has a long long way to go in comparison You have done well Thanks for the video.

Mike

nice one thank you kindly!! plenty more where that came from, just need to get some more recording done.
