Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Looking for advice. ISTD Bumps Training pre season????

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi my BASI 4 ISTD technical is quickly approaching and I am looking for pre season mogul training in Europe preferable taught by either BASI Trainer or ex pro bumps skier. This is my main area that needs work on and I want my qualifications done and dusted by this winter. (hopefully).

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't seem to find any courses specifically for bumps without having all the other stuff along with it.

Cheers Guys.

skibee1, Try Claude DECAGNY. http://www.snowarea.net/

He's an ex member of the French bumps team.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

skibee1, You would be needing Derek Chandler. He's running a bumps course in Tignes this Autumn. http://www.skimarmalade.com/

I'll be in Meribel from the beginning of December and could do some bumps training for you. I competed World Cup moguls from 2000-2006 including being training partner to 2006 Olympic Champion Jenn Heil. When I did my ISTD in 2008 I did my project on bumps and taught some of it to my trainers, so they understand the technique in the way that I teach it.

If you want training earlier than this then any of the others listed should give some good training. Out of those listed, Derek's strength would be that he's experienced with BASI courses so what he says may be more similar to what the trainers say. Ben Cavet's strengths would be that he's a better mogul skier and has competitive experience that Derek doesn't have so may be able to give input that helps, that the trainers don't even know about. The downside would be that Ben doesn't have the BASI experience of Derek (not sure if he's done any BASI) so you might find it harder to discuss with the trainers about how you have been working on things, or to compare techniques if they want to see more variety.

Because I competed World Cup and went all the way through BASI I was able to explain to the trainers I had about how the competitive techniques I was using were simply an extension from what they had been using, by improving the skills they used and adding a couple of others. That's pretty much what my project was about. Which ever way you decide to train, good luck for winter.
