New boots, more lessons or both?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 24 Replies
My son had a back problem a few years ago and went for physio where the guy also identified that he had really tight hamstrings in both legs. He gave him some exercises to do (which involved stretching his legs up the door frame). It certainly worked for him and he is only 17 so I would have thought naturally flexible but apparently this is a common problem. So perhaps a physio could help with stretchng that achilles tendon of yours?
Or we could visit them in the hospital later

Have you thought about skiing with boots quite loose? If you are centred over the skis you shouldn't need boots done up tight (or so they teach at Warren Smith). You could try a days instruction with them as they look at the mechanics of your legs and style as part of the course. They teach at the indoor slopes. I know they do courses at Hemel Hempstead but they probably go to one nearer you as well. It certainly helped me.

And its an excuse to go skiing out of season :mrgreen:

How did we make the leap from cats to congestion charges??

I must take more water with it, or Snowb4ndit should.
I am looking forward to trying that Black. I am comfortable on reds but still a little nervous of anything harder.

Oh well, if the worst comes to the worst I can always walk home :(

They bring live rabbits in through the cat flap and let them loose on the landing whereby they fall through the banisters onto the stairs (bunny not pussy) and knock themselves out!!

Yum Marmite, you either love it or hate it.

Not sure about with Mango though?? Bit like Sardines and Jam, not my thing.

I also had a cat called Marmite.
