Question for Jim or Mo

Post by Jonny Sweden »

Btw Jim, just a thought...
I'm training on the shift/bowl and I'm having problem with the "short, quick balance beam step (right foot)" as shown below. Its the "beam"-part of it that's difficult for me. However, my trainingbuddy and I figured that if step nr 2 (balance beam step (right foot)
was to become a crossover step instead I should'nt need to "beam" on step nr 4.
Are we right in this assumption?

1 step (left foot)
2 balance beam step (right foot)
3 short, quick step (left foot)
4 short, quick balance beam step (right foot)
5 cross over slide step (left foot)

Hi Jonny,

The hinge step can be either balance beam or crossover.
Personnaly, I prefer the crossover.
Seems to make it easier to keep our head over the ball.
From there on all the focus should be on keeping the head over the ball, the brain will take care of the feet.

Great idea, I believe in keeping it simple.

How's the crop of Swedish fish coming along?
Hint, hint Xmas is near.

Are you fishing for a xmas-gift Jim? :)
I could send you some fish but it would probably not smell so good on arrival ;)

I hope they're coming along swimmingly! But you can keep any of those imposter non-red Swedish fish.

Actually we've got som great fishing around where I live. A paradise for the enthusiasts.

River Mörrumsån is great for salmon-fishing.

"A 185 km long river, originates from the Småland high country. Tributary to lake Helgasjön and lake Åsnen. Flows out into the bay of Pukaviksbukten in the province of Blekinge at Elleholm 7 km west of Karlshamn. Fishing in river Mörrum are mentioned in Swedish litterature as early as year 1231 in King Valdemar II:s "jordebok". Organised sportfishing in the river started 1941. A few year earlier the fishermen Sven O Hallman got the permission to explore the sportfishing possibilities in the river, and since this went well, a initiative to create this sportfishing paradise was started in 1941. The fishing for Salmon and seatrout are taking place at the stretch from the flow out into the sea at Ellehom and 25 km northwards. The 18 km upper beat of this stretch is private and are not accessible for the public. Fishing permits for the remaining 7 km long stretch are sold by Kronolaxfiske (Krono Salmon Fishing) in Mörrum.
Speices: salmon, sea trout, perch, pike, eel, roach, ide, whitefish, crayfish and others, totaly 24 different speices."

Good video. He uses a crossover step on the hinge step, but a balance beam step will also work. It's personal preference and physiology. His step cadence of slow, slow, quick, quick, slide (long, long, short, short, slide) is also very evident. Good find.
