May, 5 Update

Hello everyone,

During the Canadian Coaches summit there was alot of very good information . As ski racers we can always look for details to give us an advantage. My first topic is on aerodynamics! The Canadian Team does alot of wind tunnel testing. Did you know that the Canadian Team members use their One piece racing suit only once for each race. They have found that even in using the suit once it slows down! So for each race They use a Brand new suit! For YOU what is suggested is that you have a race suit, and a training suit. Of course your race suit is for race only! Training suit for training. Your race suit should always be stored in a clean plastic bag. You must care that it stays as clean as possible, and does not have any rips , cuts, or lint build up!

If your suit size is too small that is also slow! You need a suit that is the perfect fit. It is better if it is slightly big!

Wearing fleece under your suit is also slow. Smooth fabric is best! Under armour style Fabric.

For those of you with long hair. Pony tails and hair should be tucked into your helmet when ever possible!

Your suit should also be pulled over the top 2 buckles! The buckles when exposed was also found to be slow!

Back protectors are also used by all. The protector must fit properly of course. It was actually found that when using the protector it was faster when tucking.

When tucking it is important that hands are high in front of your face, elbows in line with your knees.

Please take note for next season! Lets set high goals! At Accel Ski System we are teaching you all the things that will help you achieve the best! You have to see and feel What you want! Do not see and think of things you do not want!!!

Bye for now!

Doug
