The World Barefoot Council has approved 3 new tricks in time for use in the 2008 World Championships. The following was copied from the World Barefoot Council Forum: Sit Down & Stand Up one-foot (SD<) The skier shall, from BSP, sit down on the water surface, clearly showing his feet to be above the water surface once sat down.He shall then place one foot on to the water and in one attempt raise himself to forward one foot BSP and hold for recognition. From the point where he brings his feet off of the water only the foot he will stand up on may touch the rope or the water surface. 40pts (Basic and reverse shall be allowed in addition to the existing 2-foot version)
BACKWARD Side Slide (BSS) Whilst in backward BSP the skier shall rotate both feet to a position 90º to the line of the boat path in one continuous movement and hold for recognition. 300pts
SWITCH Side Slide (SSS) Whilst in BSP the skier shall rotate both feet to a position 90º to the line of the boat path in one continuous movement and hold for recognition. With his weight supported by both feet and without changing the direction the skier is facing the skier shall then slide both feet to the opposite position and then back to the original side slide position and hold for recognition. 400pts For more information on this topic go here: http://wbcforum.activeboards.net/forum_topics.asp?FID=2 |
