HOW TO DO IT
Route Look and Quiet-Impulse Comparison
Separate looking ahead from an abrupt rotational arm rescue.
Preparation and setting
Off-board rehearsal first; sliding comparison only after garland and stopping prerequisites.
Exercise sequence
- Choose and look toward a visible route.
- Rehearse a small coordinated leg/pelvis action without wrenching knees.
- In a familiar shallow garland, ride normally.
- Repeat with less deliberate arm swing while retaining natural balance movements.
- Compare track smoothness and support; if unchanged, inspect release and pressure separately.
Transfer
Retain useful coordination in individual turns; do not ban all torso movement in every discipline.
Errors addressed
Tail whip from an upper-body impulse; Looking at bindings; Rigid shoulders treated as universal cure.
Success check
Removing the disruptive impulse improves the path, or the test rules it out as the main cause.
Simplify when needed
Do only the off-board part if steering and stop control are not established.
