A good method to help you stay aligned moving through the same down-lane target is the following. If you don’t like using an alignment table or calculator this process will help you maintain better lines as you adjust to transition.

These moves would keep your alignment on a mathematically straight line.

🦶2 ⚫️ 1.5 🔺1 🎳 -1 same down-lane

2 with the feet
1.5 @ the dots
1 @ the arrows
-1 @ the pins

Move your feet 2, 1 at the arrows and -1 at the pins. If you use the dots, use a 1.5 board move for every 2-1 made.

Think of the center of the 6-pin (4-pin) as board 9. Think of the pin as having 5 spots (center left, bottom left, center middle, bottom right, center right) each approximately a board apart. Also the location between two pins (bisect the triangle of the void at the base height between two pins).

Adjustment Progression
Slide Dots Arrow Focal Point
2 1.5 1 -1
4 3 2 -2
6 4.5 3 -3
8 6 4 -4
10 7.5 5 -5
12 9 6 -6
14 10.5 7 -7
16 12 8 -8
18 13.5 9 -9
20 15 10 -10

The example image is a straight line through 8 then a line through 12 and one through 16. Let’s assume 14 8 8 9@ 40’.

The adjustments would be
S 22 D 11 A 12 DL 8@40’ FP 4@pin
S 30 D 20 A 16 DL 8@40’ FP 0@pin

Hinge it to higher performance. I discuss three different hinge types as well as the positive effects of utilizing a hinge. Touch the screen to see the full size. Volume up to hear.

Like the Maine native I am. Wearing Shorts as I depart. Will have my hoody when I arrive into Budapest.

Hinge it to increase energy production!

Benefits of a hinge include:

—> reduced grip tension

—> faster feet (more energy production)

—> increased accuracy if paired with lateral torso flexion (due to the upper body moving more forward and the head entering the slide near or where it will end at release). This will put the head in a position closer to where it will be at the top of the swing

Goal-Sacrifice misalignment is the number one issue I see worldwide. Too many are not willing to sacrifice enough to reach their intended goals. Or, worse, they have goal delusion and are no where close to what needs to be done on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
