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?

I do not do the grab start to far for me to reach down. Both feet at the front of the block toes over thedge slightly pidgeon toed. I still do the hands out front start then sweep the hands up and and over to get the body to follow through momentum.
