Chris Fellows, PSIA Demo Team Member, Writes About His vLink Experience
April 25, 2009 on 10:09 am
Chris Fellows, Director and Trainer at the North American Ski Training Center wrote an article on his experience with and what he learned from using the vLink Racing Computer in the PSIA-W Newsletter, the 2009 Spring Edge. Chris, a three term PSIA demo team member and one of the most technically perfect as well as photogenic skiers I know said: “I began making carved turns and heard beeping when I slipped or changed edges. After several runs I began to see the pattern in my slipping/skidding. At first it was not obvious, but after tuning my ears to the beeps I could see that a pure carve was far from what I was doing. I have spent many ski hours perfecting my “pure carve” but the machine was telling me I had flaws in my technique. The slippage was mostly at the transition between two turns, not at the finish where one might suspect. After two hours of skiing varied terrain, I saw,through listening that there was a skid in my transitions, not a pure arc to arc carve. I worked on that one moment in the turn for the rest of the day and it proved to be one of the most productive training sessions of the season.” Read Chris’ full article here.
