Streching before skiing?

[nauseA]

Do you guys stretch before going skiing?

 

[617jibber]

never have but i should because after skiing hard im in pain at the end of the day

 

[Coalescent]

yeah...sometimes..depends on if im going to be trying new tricks.....

 

[freestyler540]

I do, unless I forget

 

[InfernoHits]

yea I usually forget to and just do a little bit of leg stretching before my first run

 

[mpls1506]

everybody body should strech but we all forget to exited to ski

 

[Scottness]

it makes such a huge difference at the end of the day, it is well worth the extra 5 minutes it takes. especially when you hit like 25.

 

[skier_boy26]

if im skiing park, ill definitely stretch. i almost always try to stretch

 

[snowdiver]

i just do a couple leg swings before popin my skis on

 

[leone]

i try to as much as possible

 

[RWalker]

i do a little bit if i go in the park

 

[Tapes]

streching sucks. it's nice when you have your every muscle sore next day.

 

[GeneralDisorder]

yeah i stretch all the time at the top of the lift before first run stretch all the muscles in the leg and get your arms and torso stretched. like billy said it helps once you start getting old too.

 

[Public_Maverick]

prob should, i pull my groin every time and sleep it off

or fuck up my hip but thats dif

 

[fukeneh]

i just do like butterfly and leg stretches so i dont killl my groin

 

[RastaSkier9]

ALWAYS...ever since i tore my MCL, it is a neccesity

 

[powpow1080]

most of the time..prevents me from cramping

 

[rachael575]

no

 

[STAUSS]

yeah a good amount of the time

 

[chapz]

yeah i do if i remember, its a big help

 

[BCKicker540]

usually, a good calf, groin, quad, and back stretch is necessary

 

[cj]

always!

 

[danedegruyter]

you really should stretch before you put your boots on so you can stretch your ankles so you dont hurt your achillies or any of the other tendons in your foot - speaking from experience

 

[SaraJ]

I try and stretch a little bit before I stick my skis on.

 

[nothanks]

It's necessary. I can't imagine not.

 

[bucknasty]

yea one day i forgot to stretch and it ended me up being in a lot of pain

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

i do like a little bit in lift lines and in the line up waitin for a hit

YOGA YOGA YOGA

How do you think dumont is pulling truck drivers 20-feet out? Yoga

Many (you would be suprised how many) pros do yoga....I would venture to guess the majority of professional skiers over 25 take yoga classes....

me? Bikram 6am three days a week, never felt better or recovered faster from falls

PLUS - yoga girls a hot

 

[CBROOKS]

dude i stretched before skiing the other day... problly the first time i have.... i could do rockets and truck drivers wayyy easier and buttering was like..... super duper easy. it helps trust me.

 

[[lineskier]820]

sometimes i do if i dont wanna screw myself up

 

[*emma*]

ya i try to, but sometimes i forget. i at least strech a little after my first warm up run

 

[skoganskier101]

after a good digger im pretty stretched, but seriously,i dont, but im gonna start, i need too

 

[TheQuailman]

i do, it helps me

 

[eheath]

I try to stretch every time i ski, i usualy get a couple mins in but its best to get like 5-10 mins of stretching, it helps so much.

 

[dweezileast]

i take usually a warm up run, just going through park nice and fast, hitting some easier rails, then i stretch, and hop on the lift again

 

[Edward.]

yes, but only in the car if i remember to stretch

 

[table_top08]

i put my boots on in the car. does that count?

 

[skiierman]

I was told that stretching before everytime you go out and ski is all for the better so I'm going to have to try and remember that.

 

[ItsPhil]

affirmative. its essential

 

[Download-My-Apps]

i never really have, but I think I might start

 

[Dan-Man]

it is a dam good idea

 

[wrenegade]

always. flexibility = less injuries.

 

[lowtech]

[lastxlight]

Go fora quick run too, it helps your ankles deal with pain so much more
