PERSONAL PERFORMANCE TIPS

Swallow the Bumps   Here’s what you need to know if you wanna be comfortable in the bumps. You have to swallow the bumps. You let your legs come up, and when they come up then we're gonna turn 'em. Look here. I let them come up and then I turn 'em. Okay, we start tall, but when I get to the top of that bump my thighs come right up and I'm gonna feel my skis go flat. When they go flat I can turn 'em. So once more... Swallow the bump by folding the legs and turn the feet. Okay, now the french call it swallowing, right? That means you've got to be able to swallow more than one. So you can't stay in one position. You get to this position and let your feet turn but then you gotta stand up so you can do it a few times. Let the feet come up, swallow the bump with your legs, turn the feet and you know what? This is not the only way to turn in the bumps but it's a way that you need to have if you wanna come down a bunch of big bumps smoothly without getting knocked all over the place. Swallow the bumps.
