Video: Doublepole with Lars Flora
Lars Flora Double Poling on Rollerskis
A sequence with Lars Flora doublepoling filmed at the September 2006 US Ski Team camp at Lake Placid.
Watch the video, then look at the sequence of pictures below to see what's going on.
Finishing motion - the poles are still pushing as the back rises. Notice:
1. Arms are extended back and the poles are still in the snow...er, pavement.
2. As the back rises, it pushes the poles back further, generating a little more push forward.
3. The hands do not swing way back behind the body. They are pushing down and back.
