I <3 my One Luvs! However, I noticed that I tend to clank my tips together on occasion, and I wonder if it's just because they're longer and I need some getting used to them. But I definitely feel a lot more confident on them, and they're a lot more effortless. Speed is now my friend! LOL!
My lesson was good, but I think it was a little too basic for me. He asked me what my goals were, and I started to tell him how I categorize myself as intermediate, and I'd like to progress towards the black diamonds... then he said he'd go over some basics that inter. skiers always have trouble with. So we went over some carving techniques... it was nice to hear that I've been doing it correctly all along, and it was also good to hear how I'm going about it (vs. just guessing my way through it), pinpointing which muscles are doing what, etc. However, in the end I was a little disappointed that I didn't get more out of it. It cost me $90 to find out I've been doing it correctly all along :/ Maybe I should have spoken up, but I've never taken a lesson and I didn't know what to expect. And, I had no idea where he was going with all this, and thought he'd be working his way up to something a little more challenging. Oh well. Now I know for next time!
