Chandra Crawford, Andy Newell and a cast of other national skiers doing doublepole intervals in Bend:
- Notice the poles don't go flying up behind the skiers. The plant is back and down. Why waste effort by having the hands go flying back and up?
- Poles are parallel to the body.
- There is forward flexion of the ankles at the start of the poling.
- Poles are high and foward at the beginning of the pole plant.
