Hey everyone,
This is my second post, on the forum, I have been mostly lurking and reading (and as far as my abilities go, tried to apply what I have read here!)
For some context, I went to the Green/Blue camp this year, and it was absolutely great, I felt I made some consistent progress and have continued to practice
the movements I learnt in camp and from the books (I have both ACBAS1,2 and the Essentials, videos included). Just recently I have been practicing the
Super Phantom and putting tons more emphasizing on balancing on the LTE.
Overall I can perform the phantom, from traverse, fall line etc, I can perform the SP on blue/green, and I can perform the single foot release (two footed release is still
something I'm working towards).
However, all that seems to fall apart when I hit un-groomed terrain, the one with mounds that has been skied off. Thus far my own analysis is, that: I hesitate before
releasing from the LTE (flex, tip, flex bit) comes too early in the lower C and I end up in a traverse; I sit back (!), considering I have consistently been practicing pulling the free foot back after tip, I seem to be too far back even before I get there. I have been practicing the fore/aft balance on groomed terrain and I get a confident grip on that, but again, as I move past it.. things just fall apart. I have to say, it can become a bit intimidating to practice the moves on the terrain.
With all this in mind, are there any tips I can follow that would help me progress better with more confidence?
Thanks
Lou
