Gaining confidence
Feeling more and more comfortable carving the big bow. It's a lot of fun cruising around there, and it's exactly what I had in mind: continue riding and experiencing a litte dose of gravity once the snowboard season is over.
It's getting better, but I'm still struggling with pumping and maintaining speed. Watching other skaters, everything looks so effortless in there. They barely move their hands, just bend a little bit in the knees. It seems like it's all done by shift weight around, and giving a little push or pump in the right moment.
Oh well, I'll get there eventually.
