Kick Scooters and Ski Technique

I tried a cheap knock off Razor kick scooter (Target for $20)just for
fun yesterday and found that it was pretty fun. More importantly it
isolated and amplified some of my skiing inadequacies. Such as I kick
much stronger with my right leg and have crappy balance when I glide on
my right.

Certainly I could address those issues on skis in the snow but once I
am out on the skis I am more focused on skiing up and down hills and
having fun.

Cheers,

Start training for the 2007 Paris Brest Paris. A Finn named Alpo
Kuusisto kicked his scooter for 1200 km and finished in 84.5 hours to
beat the deadline by 5.5 hours.
