Speed. The Ability

One thing I think about when I tell people about racing is how I can give them little tips that can help them be a better skier. One of my biggest things that I tell people that want speed is turn. If you want speed you have to turn. I got this Idea from a wise man in the White Mountains. He told me “Turning is the key to speed. Once you master turning, Speed will come”. After I heard this, every day that I ski I think about my turns before I think about my speed. It takes time, but it will come.

HEAD or Rossignol, Leki or Swix

One thing that goes through my mind every time I ski is the thought " I'm i using the best brand for skiing" and there a lot of ski brands, and each brand I say shines in its own way. Leki poles for instance, my favorite because of the slight tilt in the handle of the pole makes all the difference compared to other racing poles. Another thing about Leki poles is there clip-on system to keep the pole with your hand. To add if it have the best I think about skis. Rossignol or HEAD. Have had them both, and have loved them both. To me they both shine in their own way. for an example HEAD skis to me have a better hook to the edges, while Rossignol GS skis can't be beat by anything. But, you never know, skiing equipment by all brands are need, so don't worry about what brands to get, just get the skis, poles, anything that works with you the best.

Edges, Keep' um sharp

Howdy people that follow my blog I just went skiing this weekend and it was great! I know the big thing going around is how there’s NO SNOW! And to tell you the truth there really isn’t. My friends in Colorado and Utah and even there it’s pretty snowless. One thing I have to say is keep those edges sharp. When I went skiing it is all ice and no snow but I had sharp edges so I was good. I was real good. Also one thing I noticed about skiing this year is that if you want to go fast (and I know everyone does) and you want be able to carve easy (which everyone wants) is to commit and go with it. Good luck out there and I’ll let you know if it gets better.  

World Cup night slalom at Flachau

I just read an article about the Ivica Kostelic’s win at the World Cup night slalom at Flachau. It was a great race from the ski racing article and I have to say it was a good race too cause I watched it yesterday. It was nice to see the competition from Swede Andre Myhrer with his first run placing him

in 5^th. While after his second run he put much pressure on the leading skiiers. His risky and wild

second run was very interresting to watch, but ended up putting him in second for the race. In third was the Italian Cristian DeVille only .09 behind Kostelic. Pretty close to Andre Myhrer just .07 behind Kostelic. I think this race was great for Cristian DeVille because it was his second career podium, and second of the season.

The Growth of the Web

Internet access and the number of users in countries all over the world seem to be changing a lot. I recently read an article about the internet. It said things like languages used on the web. English was number one with 536.56 million web sites. That’s crazy. Comparing America to korea, we have a lot of websites. Even though korea still  has 39.44 web sites in there laguage. One other thing I found very interesting was how china had more internet users than America by a lot. Even though this is very interesting to some, I still think it brings up the topic of the average person uses the computor to much.
