Striding also called
  • diagonal stride
  • classic
  • kick and glide
Striding works best with classic racing skis. It is impossible on a snowboard and nearly impossible on alpine skis.
This is the first animation that I did so it is a little rough. The skiier has a typical technique mistake; she bobs. Her head goes up and down. The skiier I photographed had her weight to far back. I suspect the original skiier bobs as well.
