How do I stop catching my heel?

how to practice the back one-foot on dry land before
getting on the water! Join my Virtual
Ski School, now!
Catching of the heel occurs when
your hips and butt drift over the leading edge of
your foot. When you are backwards that means your
heel. This usually occurs for two reasons (assuming
your speed is correct);
#1 Breakdown in your form (click
here
to see a picture of the correct form)
#2 Incorrect resistance (click
here to read about my Resistance
Theory of Barefooting)
To solve this problem, concentrate
on a better set-up with better resistance. Please
read my Back
One-foot article in its entirety. Also, make
sure to master your form on dry land training (i.e.
find out how on my Virtual
Ski School) first, then on the Puppy
Paws before going to your feet!
Let
me know how you do!! Email
me your success stories!

2. Speed?
For
people in the 175-200lb range I would say about
30-34 on the Puppy Paws (depending on how good your
form is) and 36-39 on your feet (depending on how
good your form is).
For
100-150lb range I would say about 25-29 on the Puppy
Paws (depending on how good your form is) and 33-38
on your feet (depending on how good your form is).

Dry-land?
As with
any of the more advanced tricks, there is no substitute
to practicing on dry
land in perfect form, practicing on the Puppy
Paws until you have mastered the form, and then
you will own it on your feet!

What is making me
bounce or skip?
This
is caused from a chain reaction of events that has
you skiing on your toes instead of in the Ultra
Mega Glide. To correc this problem you need
to correct your position starting from the top.
#1
Correct your vision
and look at the horizon. Your hear should be higher
than your shoulders. Your shoulders should be higher
than your hips.
#2
Shoulders rolled back and pich your shoulder blades
together.
#3
Meat Hook-Ribs expanded and upward
#4
Power
Band
#5
Bouncy
Trouncy Tigger the Tiger Knees
#6
Relaxed ankles in the flexed position letting the
water creat maximum flex.-Ultra
Mega Glide

What is the Resistance
Theory of Barefooting?
This
is a good one so pay attention!
Imagine you were
doing your dry-land practice (I sure hope you do
religiously!). Instead of having your handle
attached to a door knob, imagine that a long rope
(attached to the handle, of course) went up 15 feet
in the air, passed over a pulley, and the down to
a bucket of weights. Let’s say for arguments
sake, about 25 pounds.
The idea of correct
resistance is that the bucket should maintain a
constant height as you go through your turn (or
one-foot forwards and backwards, back to front,
etc…).
If your position
and set-up are correct and you STILL catch your
heels, then you have lost your mo jo (proper resistance)
in the backwards position. In other words, your
butt has drifted over your heels when it should
have been over your toes.
This information
is so powerful that it is illegal in several Eastern
block countries!
I want you to take
the following test
What is the difference
between the two “resistance
1” pictures at http://www.thefootersedge.com/resistance_1.htm
What is the difference?
Is there anything noticeable or are they basically
the same positions?
NOW look at the “resistance_2”
pictures at http://www.thefootersedge.com/resistance_2.htm
The first picture
shows the rope going through a hook and is connected
to a one gallon container of water that weighs roughly
7 pounds.
The other picture
shows the same set-up connected to a cement curb
that weighs about (I am guessing) 70 pounds.
Surprised? I hope
you are because this dramatically illustrates my
Resistance Theory of Barefooting.
Critical
point; REISITANCE IS NOT BAD WHEN IT IS APPLIED
FROM A GREAT BAREFOOT POSITION. This means great
posture, glide, and an awesome Power Band!
