Comp model delivered from the states to edinburgh super quick and well packed - fitted boots easy with clear instructions.
I skated at my local roller disco as a kid plus currently training for my EURO TEST (European GS test for instructors to get to top level) so was pleased to find that in my first hour session I was carving turns down a shallow hill - what a feeling.
Initially I wasn't tilting inside foot enough, but got it wired in couple of runs.
These things are amazing at allowing you to tune into development focus areas - for me continuing to work with symmetry, especially feet to knees + increasing angulation "pinch at the hips" + keeping torso facing downhill + better forward initiation and higher hand carriage (on uphill side).
Brilliant, can't wait to find steeper, smoother hills and get some cones out....and that's only after an hour!!!
Just wish I had invented them instead of a ski trivia game
Nice one Harb you've cracked my problem of not having enough snow time to practice technique -
