Of course you are right and I have been pretty solid in the gym since my second acl reconstruction. Interestingly, I find rowing can be a bit of a problem - due to over extension on the push I think - so prefer the bike and a little bit of running for the cardiovasculars. |

Thanks powderhound - deep down I know you are spot on - my knees were aching just watching the olympic bumps the other day x)
Want to be able to Ski (and walk!) for a few more decades yet so looks like its the three p for me - Piste, Powder and Pi**ing it up in the mountain cafe ;) |

Afternoon.
Havent posted before but have enjoyed some useful tips over the years and so am looking for some advice. By way of background, I have been skiing on and off for 25 years and am reasonable competant in most conditions (hate slush but dont we all). 2 ACL reconstructions in the last 5 years have left me a little wary on the bumps and the compression turns I could do without thinking when I was 15 have gone - I just cant hit the moguls with enough confidence. My questions therefore are: 1 Should I keep trying on the bumps in the hope that I get the skills back or accept that I am getting old and stick to carving up the piste and powder. 2 If I do keep working on the bumps, any tips on a good ski to help my technique but still allow me to access the whole mountain. Many thanks |
