Thank you, paddling is a lifestyle, when you're hooked its your passion day in day out
This is cool. Hope you're still at it 11 years on!
This is a fantastically informative video, thanks s o much for posting! Also, what is the name of the song??
I too just went on my first trip. We did the Cartecay in GA, the Hiwassie in TN, & then the Nantahalla in NC. I'm addicted! Your videos are great! Will definitely try to apply these techniques on my next trip.
After a close look with many freeze-frames the examples shown do the opposite of what is stated as proper. The paddlers lean back in relation to their boats - not forward - and remain vertical in their seats in relation to the earth, in other words, plum. What I see is: lean forward at the top of a drop, and then immediately go to vertical with upper body/lower body separation allowing the boat to freely drop its nose down leaving the paddler closer to the back deck as if leaning back. At all other times, these paddlers remain vertical throughout the run with good, relaxed separation between upper body and boat.
This production, Genes was filmed in 2006 and released 2007. Our understanding of running white water has moved on since then, especially in the realm of boofing. Some of this is captured in the 2010 Genotype 2 DVD, and yet there have been updated ideas and concepts, as we are clearly on a continuum of progression. Still to address your points.
In many of the shots, paddlers lose their body tension, especially on broken slides and uneven terrain, the bow gets pitched down and the paddler reacts, on other occasions the paddler leans forward absorbs the impact. There is of course a balance between dealing with what is happening and anticipating the next move.
These days, we'd try to hit a good forward stroke with every aspect change, this allows us a near continuous connection with the paddle blade pulling on the water. In addition with the desirable torso rotation from a good forward paddling stroke, the need to lean forward form the pelvis is superseded.
Simon, can you explain what is meant by "disengage," and give an example?
