Nothing builds explosive strength like the Skier's Edge World Cup Plyometric Power!
Every serious racer who wants to get an edge on their competition needs to check out the Skier’s Edge line ofequipment. It will take your skiing and racing to the next level a proven fact.
The Skier’s Edge Company is in the business of making people ski better. From the terminal beginner who still skis wedge turns, to the world’s best racers, they’ve got you covered. But this is a magazine about racing, so let’s talk about what a Skier’s Edge machine can really do for racers.
Strength. A racer needs to be strong as skiing fast is not for the feeble. Strength allows the racer to carve powerful turns, react to the intense forces of the mountain, and creates a margin of safety for the unexpected. Nothing builds explosive strength like the Skier’s Edge World Cup Plyometric Power. The lateral movement and range of motion is exactly like carving turns. The sprint style workouts are extremely anaerobic and last about the same amount of time as a race course run. If you are looking for the leg and core strength of a locomotive the Skier’s Edge World Cup Plyometric Power is the quickest way to get there.
Endurance. What good is all that strength if it only lasts for a few turns. One of the main advantages to training on the Skier’s Edge is that it develops endurance and stamina while it makes you stronger. Conventional workouts just don’t have the ski-specific muscle movements needed to create race-ready endurance. Too often racers find themselves burnt out for the last section of the course just trying to hold on to the finish. The Skier’s Edge will give you the strength AND the stamina to ski at the limit for the entire course.
Technique and Mechanics. With a solid foundation of strength and endurance a racer can hone in on technique and mechanics. With a huge range of accessories and attachments the Skier’s Edge machines give the racer an arsenal of training tools. Pivoting footpads allow you to articulate each “ski” on to an edge. You can practice hard aggressive edges or just make mellow turns. The adjustable stance width lets you find your unique stance and gives you the option of anything from a tight powder stance to a wide downhill stance. There are also attachments which simulate slope angles forward and backward and create full 3-D ski-specific movements. Not to mention the LifeBeat electronic feedback device which monitors: speed, time, turns, calories, and % of travel. The technical training benefits of the Skier’s Edge are unmatched. A racer can refine, polish, or rebuild mechanics before ever hitting the mountain. There isn’t a more effective way to rapidly train ski-specific mechanics than on a Skier’s Edge.
Racers all over the world have been using the Skier’s Edge to stay competitive. Today, the company supplies every major National Ski Team. The machines give racers just what they are looking for, something that will make them stronger, give them the endurance to ski hard for the entire run, and a tool to develop and refine the latest mechanics of competitive skiing.
