lifting toes/wax pocket
Hi,
First season taking waxable classic skiing seriously, so my learning curve is currently steep. My skis are professionally fit and the grip zone marked. I find that I get better glide, especially double poling, when I lift my toes (or press my heels). If I press my toes down, I hit the brakes. Is this normal, or does my grip zone extend too far forward? To do this heel press (or toe lift), it seems to change my downhill tuck position from the one I use skating. The classic position seems to position me further back with straighter ankles. If this is normal, do you try to incorporate this heel glide into each diagonal stride, as well? Is this why the new Solomon striding boots use the carbon heel cup? Thanks, Brian |
