The Gate Keeper
helps set a visual and physical target for workouts
and training. It's a system that keeps count of how
many turns you make and how long you are on the machine.
It's really much more than just that.
Each time you hit a flag
while moving from side to side, an electronic sensor
counts a turn and records it on a large digital display
along with the elapsed time. A successful turn is where
the user engages or hits the flag and causes the sensor
system to register the turn. You can hear it, you can
see it, and you can feel it! If you don't make a succesful
turn, the turn is not counted.
The Gate Keeper
allows you to set a goal of travel for each turn on
your Skier's Edge machine. The flag distance at each
end can be adjusted to count long (wide) turns or short
(quick) easier turns. There are 12 different positions
for shorter to longer turns offering a variety of goals
and the motivation necessary for progression.
The
Gate Keeper easily attaches to any Skier's Edge System
4 machine.
What's great about having
a visual target is that it will help you to identify
weakness from one side to the other - as most people
have a slightly weaker side. The target flag will
also help you to maintain maximum extension from
beginning to end of your workout.
And here's more fun: Challenge your
friends to friendly competitive contests such as
the "Most Completed Turns Per Minute"
contest we host as the title sponsor of the Master's
races throughout the U.S.
The large, easy to read
digital display records your elapsed time and number
of turns (gates hit). The counter starts immediately
with the first gate hit and can be paused during
your workout with the press of a button. An automatic
shut-off feature turns the unit off after five minutes
of inactivity.
"The World Cup Plyometric Power is
the most incredible ski-specific training device I've
ever used. Not only do you build endurance and explosive
power, you do this while perfectly simulating the extension
and retraction movements used in modern ski technique.
For me, the Skier's Edge is an irreplaceable training
tool."
