"Try to slide forward. Didn't you say you have played roller skating?" Ingrid held her head high, standing upright and steady even though she was wearing long skis, her hands behind her back, looking with a half-smile.
By Han Qi.
"This is much harder than roller skating."
Skiing is far more difficult to control than roller skating. For example, if you stand still in roller skating, it will generally not slide forward, but snowboarding will not. Even if you stand there, you will still feel unstable, as if you are underfoot.
Greased.
Ingrid circled Han Qi and said, "It's just your illusion. When you learn to ski, you will know that it is easy."
"Maybe."
"Stop talking so much, just follow me." Ingrid didn't move her legs and lowered her body's center of gravity. "Strengthen your thighs and calves. Keep your posture fixed and don't move. The road here is very flat. Just use my posture.
It won’t fall.”
Then, she planted the snowball on the ground with both hands at the same time and pushed herself forward. This momentum made Ingrid move forward several meters.
"You try."
"good."
Seeing that the movement was so simple, Han Qi gained a little confidence. He learned the posture 70% to 80%, then stretched his thighs and calves, inserted his hands into the snow and pushed forward.
Perhaps because he used too much force with his hands, Han Qi moved forward faster than Ingrid.
In an instant, the cold wind blew across his face, and a lightning-like sense of freedom appeared in Han Qi's heart...but only for that second.
After a second, the skis stopped.
Ingrid crossed over and said: "How about it, it's still very simple, right?"
"It's okay." Han Qi calmed down and said.
He likes this kind of speed game, which can make him feel very good. Even the depression caused by the polar night has disappeared for a while. Perhaps this is a way for people in northern Norway to maintain a happy mood.
Here's the secret.
"What's next? Do you want to teach me how to turn?"
Ingrid shook her head and said: "No, you can ski now. As a teacher, I am very happy. But kid, you have to know that the teacher cannot accompany you all the time. You have to learn to take care of yourself."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Hahahaha!!" Ingrid laughed, looked at Han Qi's beautiful eyes, and said, "Anyway, you have learned to slide forward, now you just watch me learn the next steps."
After saying that, Ingrid slid away.
Her posture is very graceful and simple. It can be seen that she is taking care of Han Qi deliberately.
Han Qi used the method taught by Ingrid to stay in place, turning his head around to look at Ingrid who was circling around him: "I'm almost knocked unconscious by you."
Ingrid stopped in front of Han Qi: "You haven't learned it yet? I'm already skating very slowly."
"You are so beautiful, I am looking at you."
Ingrid's smiling face froze for a moment, and she snorted after being stunned for two seconds: "Even if you praise me, you can't hide the fact that you are stupid."
Of course Han Qi was joking. Although he looked at Ingrid's face from the corner of his eye just now, he mainly looked at the movements of her feet and hands. The most important thing for a novice skier is to pay attention to the coordination of her hands and feet.
, because snowball fights are the main source of motivation for newcomers to start snowboarding.
"Watch it." Han Qi said.
Just like what he had learned before, Han Qi put the snowball on the ground and pushed hard, and his body moved forward several meters in an instant. Then he used the snowball to slide forward with his hands alternately, similar to the posture when rowing a boat.
When the speed was right, Han Qi shifted his weight to the right, with his legs parallel.
Turned a 90-degree right angle.
Didn't fall.
Ingrid clapped her hands and said: "Awesome, you learned it!!"
She really didn't know how to teach someone to learn, but she had already told Han Qi all the postures and experiences she had when she first started learning skateboarding. If Han Qi still couldn't learn it, there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, Han Qi seems to know how to do it.
She slid next to Han Qi and said, "Let's go around a few times."
The laps Ingrid was talking about were not laps around the entire ski resort, but walking back and forth on the top platform at the starting point.
The place is very empty, and everyone who knows how to play is inside the venue. The only newbies on the entire platform are Han Qi, and Ingrid, who serves as a guest mentor for novices.
Just as Han Qi expected, after ten minutes he was able to slide steadily on the flat snow, and he would not fall down even when accelerating.
Finally found some joy in skiing.
The smile on Han Qi's face never stopped, and Han Qi's excited shouts could be heard when accelerating and turning.
Ingrid stood far away, watching Han Qi go crazy alone on the snow, with a motherly smile on his face... It turns out that teaching someone something can be such a sense of accomplishment, so happy.
When Han Qi slid over next time, she shouted: "Hey, let's go to the slope to play?"
"Okay." Han Qi agreed immediately.
He can now maintain the balance and steering of his body, and control his speed on the slope, which should be similar to skiing on flat ground.
Sure enough, there are advantages to playing this sport after learning roller skating. Although many movements and exertion points are different, the balance of the body is the same as that of roller skating. Maintaining balance and skillful steering will prevent you from moving at high speeds.
when wrestling.
Han Qi followed Ingrid to the starting banner, acting like a veteran.
Seeing the people on the field, Han Qi was a little worried.
"What if I hit them?"
"How can you get hit if you control your speed? If you think you are going fast, just use the posture I mentioned to stop. If it doesn't work, just throw yourself on the ground. Anyway, if you fall in the correct posture, you won't be injured."
Marianne saw her best friend appearing on the track from a distance, waved and shouted: "Come quickly."
Ingrid finally nodded to Han Qi, then moved her hand and walked downhill. A few strands of golden hair broke out from the gray woolen hat and chased desperately behind Ingrid's head, floating in the wind.
Wave after wave.
The teacher left, and Han Qi became even more nervous.
Why don't you go back and continue practicing?
Pooh!
How can you retreat? A real man never retreats until he advances, okay?
If you want to practice a newly learned sport well, you have to step out of your comfort zone. If you don't improve yourself, you will never learn to be as cool as them.
Han Qi looked at the people skiing below.
There are some professional players here. They came to familiarize themselves with the venue in advance for the competition one day later. The speed is very fast and the lines are almost the same.
There were also some members of the ski resort, and a family of three were playing together, having a great time. Looking at Ingrid, she had just stepped onto a springboard, spun around in the air and landed firmly on the ground. Her movements were light. If it was a competition, Han Qi would definitely give it a try.
She scored ten points.
Where is Marianne?
Just as he thought of Marianne, Han Qi heard her voice from behind.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you slide forward?"
A force was felt on the back of his waist. In Han Qi's horrified eyes, the skis entered the long slope below the starting point.
