So I went home from Mt. Amakazari in the morning. I changed to XPLORE and went to Tsuga no Mori. There was a faint remnant of the mogul lane I had made the day before, so I went in right away. Swoosh swoosh. Swoosh swoosh. That's the sound you hear. But as I went on and on... that is, as the lane started to get dug out a little, it changed to 'shut, shut, shut'. Or rather, I made it do that. It's made up of two sounds: "shu" and "thud!". "Thud!" is the sound of impact. I hit the ski firmly against the bottom. It's the ski of the inside foot, not the outside foot. Since I'm hitting it, I'm stretching my joints. I hit it by moving the ski away from my body. And then I hear "thud!". I can control the strength of the impact in any way. Whether it's the strength of the speed or the strength of the force. And if I can adjust the strength of the extension direction, I can of course adjust the strength of the contraction direction. This is what low-cut boots and heel-free systems are good at. By the way, when you say "bang!", imagine the person doing it hitting the bottom with the ankle of the inside leg. It's not the toe, nor the ball of the foot, it's the ankle. Stretch out the ankle and press. I imagine it as a palm strike with the hand. I ski not only on moguls, but also on slopes and in powder, just like this time. Moguls are a very easy place to experience palm strikes. After all, they make a sound (lol)! And doing it with the inside foot instead of the outside foot is exactly the B-tele way. Take a selfie and listen to the sound. May 15, 2025
