Classic rollerskiing DOES wreck kick!
OK, our snow left. It looks like it's coming back though. Anyway, while
it was gone, when the pavement got a little dryishly not too wet I did some rollerskiing. I was wondering about this kick stuff. Coz when I started skiing this snowseason I really had a messed up kick for a few days. So here I am going back to rollering after enjoy great, real kick for a few weeks. I had fine kick doing SP and KDP...for all of 15 minutes. Then I noticed that I really truly had stopped kicking DOWN on the ski. With a rollerski you don't HAVE to, so you don't. Your body adapts very quickly and stops doing anything remotely resembling real ski kick. I had to shake my head and revisualize being on snow, then it would come back, but only for a couple minutes at a time! Can you imagine what your kicking turns into even a few weeks off of snow? Hoo-boy! I didn't know it was this bad. Oh well. I don't know what else to do. I wonder if one can imitate real kick better just on foot with dryland. I doubt it. There's nuthin like real snowski kick! Now, ski-skating...there's something like the real thing. Too bad I don't do much of it. Too bad it's not as cool as CLASSIC! We presently have some 34F crust with 1/2" fresh on top on at least some of the yard. I'm going out! --JP |
