Summer Race Series Starts Tomorrow!!

Yes as Coach Lee Bennett announced at the Summer BBQ, the summer series race night will kick off tomorrow night - 27th June 2012.

Winning and running up racers at the summer BBQ
The format is the same as our club nationals with you needing to finish all three runs to gain maximum points.

So here's a quick guide to winning.
1. Get down the course without skiing out
2. Wax up your skis so they go fast and sharpen the edges so you can make carving turns.
3. Inspect the course at slow speed thinking about exactly how and when you will prepare for the next turn or change of rhythm.
4. Psyche yourself up and visualise the race in your head before setting off.
5. Push like mad out of the starting gate to gain valuable seconds
6. Push like mad at any other points on the course when you have time and you think you can do it with out losing balance.

Good luck!
