We have realised that we have not being putting as much structure into the squad sessions as we used to so we are going to make sure we turn up at 08:30 to prepare & be ready to start sking at 09:00.
The purpose of this session is still to have fun but also to work on goals with riders from around the south & when possible with extra coaches and bigger course setup than the average Sunday.
We are going to use a bit of extra time to start the sessions with some warm ups & fun ski skills so if you havent tried the increasing speed slalom or the backwards duel slalom get down the slope early as we plan to start those at 09:00.
We also expect to put out the air bag on Sunday, we are still developing the use of the bag. Currently we are just running it with one of our mini quarter pipes acting as the take off ramp & we have ordered a custom jump & a big crash mat for in case of overshoots.
Normally the air bag company will be charging an extra £5 to hit the bag.
As always current and non-members welcome to attend the squad session.
Hope to see you Sunday …. Dave , Paul , John & Daran
