Interski 2019 Pamporovo - Technical Demo MA
- Thread starter PeteW
- Start date
In that lot, the Austrians are by far the best, most technical and most controlled of the bunch - good skiing. Quality and disciplined releases, allowing consistent turns. And the Brits by far the worst, with massive hand and shoulder-driven rotation into each and every turn, out of control transitions etc!
As a commonality, there's the hopping most do, side-to-side. That's partially from a lowest common denominator perspective.
I'm really curious to see the APSI and NZSIA folks there!
Edit/
Just saw the CSIA as well and it's not too bad... Some of them struggled, some need better alignment and some of the commentary adds no value, but it pointed to a specific attention to smoothly releasing pressure, which is quite visible... although they chose to demonstrate it by slowing down the timing, like we wouldn't notice, but some of the skiing in there was not bad though...
Cool.

That tells you what I know. I liked the Brits the best. Poland the least. 
But there must have been more?? On the first video, at least they were labeled. Didn't watch through the second as I didn't know who was who.
Watching the third, the Canadians are now my favorite.

Yah, we got some newbies from Transylvania... they do say "sorry, eh" after drinking now though, so it's getting better...
NZSIA is in the following video APSI are scheduled for today so hope it will be available tommorow
All great, with special kudos to Finland for including Telemark in the routine.
After Great Britain in the first video.
I agree. The return of the narrow stance! The Dutch were funny: unable to carve a single turn.

The middle skier of the three skier demo- gets my vote.
CSIA took tele and snowboard with them. I've seen some stuff with all 3 groups in the same run.

Snowboard and alpine bound skis have similar capabilites in angular velocity of turning and speed in the turn. Doesn't seem tele does. Maybe one turn, but linking two or more not so much. You could just adapt what the pattern is for the tele people and make it different.
Anyone notice the Finn who crashed at the end?

What exactly is the intent of these demos? They seem all over the place. Some seem to be focused on precision, others on showcasing the learning progressions. Are there guidelines or are these free for all's with each country doing as they wish?

Those are just opening day ski extravaganzas. I guess. There's probably a time limit. Sort of self limiting though with the size of the slope. They kind of do what they want, what looks good. It's sort of a show/performance.
I didn't see any learning progressions. The guy on the pa I think for Canada talked about their philosophy. That's different.
Teaching demos, presentations etc come in the following days.
If you look at the daily program http://interski2019.net/congress-programs/daily/
You will see there are
- shows - at the opening and two night sessions
- technical demos - each day start with those presentations from nations who will do the workshops (something like introduction to the workshops) Listen to the narrator in Canada's demo video
- workshops - here is a link to Canada's description on what they will present
- indoor lectures - nothing out yet

If you are looking for the point in these exercises. Just look at the skill it would take to be the ones trying to sync off of the ones in front? How many of us have that kind of skill. To change our movements to something totally different than we want to regardless of terrain or surface. I would think we would all strive to that level of skill acquisition. If you don't wants the point of your own development? Oh ny the way, try it in a place where all the best of what you do is present! Probably the least stressful environment you could ask for. Come on guys. Lets give these guys props for showing up and doing what they do. Most of us have no idea how hard what they do is!
