Jim’s Story
“Offers a connection to the instructor that does not involve actually holding the student, giving students a sense of security”
Quite simply, SkiRing serves multiple benefits in that it gets the hands moving into the future, i.e. toward directional travel. It provides security in the minds of the student. It provides a training partnership. It improves stance in height, rotational alignment, tilt (sideways), balance, visual cues, etc. Can be used as a steering wheel too (i.e., like a bus/truck), flat/parallel to the ground and rotating the same as the feet/legs should be.
As to where the hula hoop around the body with the instructor behind DOES NOT work in my book, it only controls speed, yet moves them into a poor position, back & uphill.
