Best starting block position: left foot forward or right foot?
Former Member
I remember when my friend taught me how to water ski. He told me to stand feet together and then he pushed me. Instinctively my left foot shot out to steady myself. He said that is the foot that should be in front on the slalom ski.
What is the thinking on the starting block position? Which foot should be in front?

Which foot should be in front?

Doesn't it depend on the hemisphere you are in? Now my question is this, North, South, East or West?
Me, I teach it with both feet forward. Might as well, might as well explode forward as one single mass. Why separate all that potential energy? Two units? Not for me. I have a hard time keeping all my masses together I guess.
