September 30, 2005 Winter Haven, Fl: Flex It If You Got It-Barefoot Tip "The Difference between an educated and uneducated man is the same difference as being alive and being dead." – Aristotle Personal Note: Baby Zane arrived home to us from Korea this last week! http://www.thefootersedge.com/babyzane It was rather unfortunate to have sprained my ankle, but it was not without merit. As I have been getting my range of motion back as well as getting the mobility better, I realized something that could really help your barefooting. I have noticed that many barefooters could have a much better plant on their backwards barefooting or could get their feet further underneath them for a great three-point position if they could flex their ankles more instead of lifting up their toes. Read why this difference is so important to your success in my Ultra Mega glide article at http://www.thefootersedge.com/traumacenter/info/ne14.htm This may not sound like a big deal, but I have good ankle flexibility and I noticed that it is common among other Open class skiers. When trying to get back on the water after the ankle injury, I realized that even though I had pretty good ankle flex, the little bit that I was missing due to my injury had a big difference in how well I was gliding. I was only missing a slight bit of flex, but what a difference it made! Could this be a big breakthrough in your skiing? If you are interested in making your surface turns easier, your one foots both forwards and backwards easier, or just improving your three-point position better so you can get the spray out of your face, then you might want to read this carefully. Improving your ankle and calf flexibility could be a short cut to your next miracle!
