HOW TO ANALYZE

The Video and Sequences

 

Examples of video and still frame to the right

 

Gary. GOOD Video and good sequence.

 

Gary was a racer and skier way way back before shaped skis, so his technique is based on straight skis. The tight get together of his legs during the turn is evident. He also has the typical "A Frame" out side leg. He is more upright than myself.

 

ED. Bad Video but ok Sequence.

 

Pictures make a thousand words. I Started racing at about the time shaped skis came in. I still have an issue with getting my pelvis forward and body more upright. This would pull my hips inline / balance with my ankles and change the flex.  I am finally getting the inside ski outside of the outside hip. Only took 3 years. I can feel the initiation on the inside ski as well. Need to get upper body over the ski in the turn for max G in turn.

Tips for good video Analysis:

 
1- Be midway down a run. Full view top to bottom.
2- Have subject make turns heading down the fall line. Half width of Nastar turns
3 - Keep camera steady. do not move the camera, keep the person in the view
4-  As the person goes by be at least 20 feet away, you now move camera panning
as the person goes by 180 degrees.
5- do the same  2-3 as they have your back to the camera.

This will capture a frontal, side (upright, stance etc) and back.

Convert to AVI format: .mov (apple) format convert to AVI.   MP4Cam2AVI  MPEG4/MJPEG to .AVI converter Free

Frame sequencer for AVI
you can walk frame by frame or capture each frame to a jpeg picture.
virtualdub Free

You Tube Video of correct subject to camera frame placement. GOOD Camera position and panning for ski/snowboard analysis

BAD CAMERA position / panning

Pictures of sequence GOOD: The sequence has 30 pictures per second on average. This is a small selection of what is produced.

  

 

BAD was still able to pull information. The frame by frame stops all the jitter and bouncing.
