Re: more on sliding stops
Karen, I wish I had a magic answer for your question Karen. Being aware of the timing issue is important. Remember the less cues you use to stop the easier it will be to get the timing correct. So if you say ( say whoa, take your legs off, put your legs forward, and pull a little bit, and sit back ) that is five things that you have to time in order to get the stop correct. So first thing make sure you are sitting back on the way down to stop and you just eliminated one of the things that you have to time in order to stop. Try to make the leg cues more subtle thus eliminating allot of leg cue. Basically I am saying the less cues you use the easier it will be. The only other advice I have is stop allot, allot, allot.
