Eastern Massachusetts Ski Club
Very helpful sequence of "learn classic racing
technique" videos associated with the
Eastern
Massachusetts Bill Koch Ski Club -- shows "Elements of youth cross
country ski instruction" led by coach Jim Stock.
starts with number 7 because their sequence
follows six "learn to skate" videos.
(7)
dryland preparation -- basic position with strong forward lean or
"fall"; arm swing.
(8)
scooter drill and no-poles skiing
(9)
striding with poles, double pole, and double-pole kick -- plus some
ideas about how to use these drills in an overall youth skiing program.
My thoughts are that these are:
- good drills and concepts, and well selected -- but I feel the
classic techniques merit one or two more videos, like one more for
double-poling and one more for classic striding. In the final
segments of the two skiers classic striding, I saw at least one key
move they were doing which had not been included in the drills.
- good for racing -- but that's not what most people learning
classic are interested in.
