A wise horseman has been known to say 'Practice does not make perfect' - 'Only perfect practice make perfect'. This is a video of me practicing at improving my practice. The movements are uneditted. I am aware that I am not always looking where I am going because today I am finding my right leg does not want to track through/forward straight. It is wanting to externally rotate which pushes my knee out to the side. There could well be a couple of reasons for this. I've just been for a surf and I am tired or I may need to release some tension in my glutes or somewhere else in my body (l mean that literally - there could be tightness anywhere - in my foot, calf, thigh, mid back etc). I also lift my back leg once I am standing, trying to teach myself to adjust my weight forward once up. I am a body nerd. I like to break movements right down and practice them incrementally. Interesting for me, boring for everyone else. I don't know if these show enough of the forward momentum you were talking about Maria, let me know and I can post the images you have seen. https://studio.youtube.com/video/AcZytR7IEuA/edit
Third session Sydney Wave Pool still riding JSI Xero 5"8' 28ltr. This wave session is called Progressive Turns. As you can see I am yet to make any turn at all :) Always fun to be surfing with my son though https://youtu.be/_mHOtV1Hslk
Hi Maria, I was looking at OMBE on my phone which seems different to the computer, I saw but can't find now a post you made to Roxy about having a study group. At the moment I am a bit lost in all the info so that might be a good idea. Or I need a spreadsheet or something to keep me on track. I just watched the video on Speed Generation and it is nicely broken down into activities for beg, int and adv. So yes I'm up for something, as I write I think for me a spreadsheet might work for me. I took some video of me surfskating this arvo which I will put on line for others to critique.
I wanted to practise adding another video. This is a couple of waves from my second session at the pool. Same board, same wave. Same day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u35D5L6Bqw
