TRICK TRADE [2 records]

Record 1 1995-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skiing and Snowboarding
DEF

A skier’s sliding pace and the basic technique which enables him to progress efficiently.

CONT

One trick of the trade is knowing just how much grip wax to apply to the midsection of the ski : a bit too much will create unnecessary friction and thus hinder the gliding sequence of the skier's stride.

OBS

The term "stride" is used in cross-country skiing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski et surf des neiges
CONT

Le ski s'agrippe alors à la neige au moment de la poussée, lorsque le skieur appuie sur le ski pour se propulser. Lors du mouvement vers l'avant, le fart permet aux skis de glisser doucement. Ces deux mouvements, poussée et glisse, se conjuguent pour constituer la foulée, le pas.

OBS

Ce terme appartient au ski de fond.
