The Beginning Volume: The Mountain Rain is Coming, the Wind is Full of Buildings, Chapter 29: Beginner's Practice (2)
On the white snow, the students sat cross-legged in padded ski suits, and Yichen and Mo Kaize each wore red and black ski suits.
Ski clothes are generally brightly coloured, mainly for the safety of skiers.
Skiing in high mountains, especially on steep slopes, where skiers often get lost and injured, and brightly colored ski clothing can provide a good visual for search and rescue efforts.
Neither of them wore blackout tights, which might not cover the sword breath in ordinary clothes, but the thick ski suit was not, provided that the sword breath was controlled on the body part inside the ski suit.
In the intermediate training, the students can ski, but the level is uneven, and they also have their own ski equipment.
The exception, of course, was the two beginners who suddenly joined, and each of them was given a set of ski equipment.
"Ski boots from the lowest point on the clip, each level to check the tightness, when walking toes, stride, with the front and back heels as a fulcrum; the skis first wear the lower side of the mountain, first card the front binding, when carrying the bottom of the board opposite, the tip of the board down, the front binder behind the shoulder......" Ouyang Qi explained the use of ski equipment.
Although it is the most basic knowledge of skiing, it is directly related to the safety of the students. Even if everyone knows it well, Ouyang Qi must explain it in detail, not to mention that not everyone knows that there are two beginners present who don't know anything about it.
The boring technical guidance from other people has become a valuable experience for Yichen and Mo Kaize.
From the use of ski boots, snowboards, and ski poles, to how to turn around on the spot, how to choose to fall, how to stand up after falling, to how to master parallel movement techniques and figure-eight walking techniques, the two listened attentively and learned tirelessly.
The main thing is that you can't work hard if you don't work hard, Ouyang Qi just said that the use of ski equipment is not standardized, and it is not impossible to be disabled due to fractures.
"The knee is the most important part of skiing, and it is also the most vulnerable area, and targeted training can effectively protect the knee from ligament tears. Ouyang Qi explained the warm-up exercises before and after skiing, "There are usually eight auxiliary trainings, such as exercising cardiovascular function, training quadriceps, and stretching ......exercises."
Half an hour later, the pain training is over, and the morning has become the time to get used to skiing again, and the students choose the right ski slope to find a feeling for the next training.
The trainees spread out and choose the right piste according to their level.
Each piste is equipped with a corresponding aerial ropeway to get skiers to the desired height. The ropeway is a ride-on and much better than the towed one, allowing you to take a break and enjoy the snow and watch other skiers glide along the way, which is equivalent to a small aerial viewing platform.
Yichen and Mo Kaize were taken to a beginner ski run by Lu Xuan.
As beginners, they naturally have no feeling to find, so they can only learn to ski from scratch.
The 300-meter-long, 50-meter-wide slope is smoothed by a machine, and the slope is only 5 degrees because it is a beginner course, and the terrain is relatively gentle.
"Downhill techniques are the foundation of downhill skiing and include plow, straight, incline and downhill. Learning the first two types and the plow turn is your training task today, the plow downhill in the morning, the straight downhill, and the plow turn in the afternoon. Lu Xuan wore an orange and white ski suit, "I repeat, it's learning, not learning." ”
"Won't you let us teach ourselves?" asked Yichen tentatively.
On his skis, he could barely maintain his balance, and this was with the help of ski poles. If they are allowed to learn by themselves, Mo Kaize can't guarantee it, but he will definitely not be able to play, not to mention learning three, it is very difficult to learn one.
"If you can learn it without a teacher, what do you want me to do?" Lu Xuan refuted him while wearing skis.
Yichen was so choked that he had nothing to say, and he propped up the snow with his ski poles and kept silent.
"Plough downhill is used for deceleration and stopping, and straight downhill is used for acceleration. Putting on the skis, Lu Xuan put on the ski goggles again, and finally the helmet and gloves, "I'll give you a demonstration first." ”
After saying that, she squatted slightly, looked ahead, and slid out in the direction of the roll-off line.
The skis were parallel to each other, shoulder-width apart, and his feet were evenly weight-bearing, and Lu Xuan's speed became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, he was twenty meters away.
When she gets fast enough, she pushes her knees forward and leans forward to push the back of her skis out. The two boards are in the shape of an inner figure-eight, using the inner blade to jam the snow surface, and the legs stabilize the center of gravity, Lu Xuan's speed gradually slows down.
When the speed slowed down, she changed to downhill acceleration, and when the speed increased, she changed to plow downhill to slow down. And so on and so forth, and so on, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Lu Xuan controlled his speed until he reached the bottom of the slope.
In fact, Yichen only saw a third of the action demonstration, and he couldn't see clearly at 100 meters, and the next 200 meters were purely looking at the orange and white figure.
Looking at Mo Kaize again, Lu Xuan's movements slowly blurred in his field of vision when the distance exceeded 200 meters.
The combination of elemental stimulation and extreme sports has significantly enhanced his sword breath, and in addition to the huge change in his physique, his reflexes and perception have also been greatly improved.
The most intuitive manifestation of the improvement in perception is that his vision and hearing are several times better than before.
A few minutes later, Lu Xuan came up by ropeway.
If it's not close enough to the top of the piste, I'm afraid no one will make a thankless walk up from either side of the piste.
"The point of the plough downhill is to control the acceleration motion as a uniform motion or a deceleration motion, and the greater the angle formed by the skis, the greater the resistance, and vice versa, the less resistance. The point of downhill straight is to keep the body's center of gravity stable during acceleration movements. Putting down the skis, Lu Xuan sat directly on the snow, waved his hand lazily, and sent the two of them away, "Go practice by yourself." ”
On the ski slope, two red and black figures swayed, like toddlers.
For beginners, mastering the center of gravity of the body is a crucial and difficult step.
From time to time, the two would fall to the ground due to physical imbalance, and it is commendable that they vividly explained how they chose to fall.
Whenever they lost their balance, the two immediately squatted down and fell to the upper side of the slope.
As a result, there is a scene on the ski slope where the two often sit on the ground with their butts together.
In downhill skiing, skiers need to constantly change the angle formed by the skis to feel the resulting change in speed. In downhill, skiers are required to keep their skis parallel and evenly spaced to experience the change in center of gravity when accelerating.
At the top of the ski slope, Lu Xuan watched the two of them skiing again and again.
Micron headphones provide convenience, and Lu Xuan can point out problems in real time as they glide. It is precisely because of the micron headphones that Yichen and Mo Kaize don't know how many criticisms they have received.
Before you know it, it's noon, and Yichen and Mo Kaize spend the morning in the skating.
Whether they have just experienced the boredom of sword training, or the excitement of skiing, the two of them are tired of skating and practice tirelessly.
As a result of their efforts, the two of them learned to plow and straight downhill, and successfully completed the training task in the morning.
In fact, Yichen was very depressed during the morning training, it was nothing at first, he and Mo Kaize couldn't grasp the center of gravity well, and falling was a common thing for them, but it didn't take long for the situation to change, Mo Kaize easily stabilized his body with the help of the wind element, while the dark element didn't help him at all.
For a time, falling changed from a matter of two people to a matter of one person.
Two people falling and only one person falling are completely different situations, although it is not psychologically unbalanced, but it really makes Yichen depressed. Several times he fell, he looked up to the sky and sighed, shouting "God is not fair".
For Yichen who complained, Lu Xuan scolded him back with one sentence: External forces are also part of strength, if your skills are not as good as others, you have to improve yourself, and complaining will only make you more incompetent.
After a brief lunch and a short rest, the training team gathered again.
In the afternoon, the wind was strong and the weather was cloudy.
Yichen and Mo Kaize still followed Lu Xuan to the beginner ski slope, while the others went to the 3-kilometer-long ski slope under the leadership of Ouyang Qi for plough turn training.
Although it is the same plough turn, on the one hand, it is learned from scratch, and on the other hand, it is practiced by the standard of alpine skiers, and there is a huge difference in the method and difficulty level.
Just like in the morning, Lu Xuan first gave a demonstration to the two of them.
Gliding out, she switched to a plow downhill, her center of gravity shifted to the left, her left leg took the main weight of her body, her knees pressed inward, and her left ski stood on the edge of her leg and pushed outward at the same time, and her body gradually turned to the right. Then she does the opposite, and her body gradually turns to the left.
Lu Xuan made continuous plough turns, drawing one after another curved and symmetrical arcs on the ski slope.
Halfway through the slide, Lu Xuan accelerates straight downhill, and when he reaches the bottom of the ski slope, he uses his hips to drive his legs to twist parallel to the left side, and uses the left blade of the ski board to push out laterally, increase the vertical blade, and slow down horizontally, and stop perfectly.
"Plough turns are suitable for terrain with gentle slopes, and the skis that bear the main weight of the body are the active boards, and the other is the driven board. The greater the amount of downforce applied to the live plate, the smaller the turn will be, and vice versa. Lu Xuan is a qualified and strict coach, and when he returned to the top of the ski run, he motioned for the two to practice.
............
By the time the training session was over, the sun had already set.
Yichen and Mo Kaize lay on the snow in a large shape, like two models embedded in the snow. I don't know how many times I've practiced the plough turns, I don't know how many times I've skied on the slopes, and the two of them just feel top-heavy and lethargic now.
I said, "It's only the first day. Lu Xuan squatted aside and knocked on the ski goggles of the two.
"Are you sure this stimulates the sword breath? Yichen sat up slowly, "I think the effect is not as good as riding a roller coaster or a jumping machine, and the super big pendulum can also be used." ”
"If you weren't numb, I wouldn't mind tying you up and sitting every day. Also, whether it's useful or not, you don't think it's important, I think it's okay. Lu Xuan pointed to himself and got up to leave, "I'll be here today, and I'll continue tomorrow." ”
Yichen watched in amazement as Lu Xuan sat on the ropeway and disappeared from sight.
"You don't want you to feel, you want her to feel. Mokaiser tapped him on the shoulder.
"Even you tease me. ”
"Let's go, eat. ”
"Rest a little longer. With that, Yichen fell backwards and lay back into the humanoid snow pit.
Ten minutes later, the two shouldered their skis and returned to the hotel.
