Re: Average hunter skills
Make it up as you go along eh? this is a skinned bear douchebag
and these are cross country ski techniques:
There are four core techniques:
Name Description
Herringbone This technique is used for climbing steep hills. A walking or running action with splayed skis and without any glide. The poles are planted alternately behind the skis. A distinctive herringbone pattern is left in the snow.
Diagonal stride An exaggerated running action with parallel skis and a glide on each stride. The poles are planted alternately on the opposite side to the kick. For experienced skiers this technique is used uphill. Less experienced skiers also employ the diagonal stride on the flat.
Double pole with kick Both poles are planted simultaneously to give a powerful thrust. As the poles swing forwards again a single leg kick is made. This technique is used when the skier is still moving too quickly to diagonal stride, but is having difficulty double poling (typically on slight uphills or at the bottom of a long hill, just before switching to diagonal stride).
Double pole As above but without the kick. During some long races, in reasonably flat terrain, competitors double pole for the majority of the course (an example of this is the Swedish Vasaloppet).
On downhill slopes a tucked position (hocke, from the German word) is assumed, in a similar manner to downhill skiing.
NOTE! NOTHING ABOUT "SKINNING". This is like an ass kicking contest against a one legged man. Better call up north and get some help.
