Stopping in Adaptive Snowshoeing

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Dave Schoeneck. We're here in Wasatch, the beautiful Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Here to talk about adaptive sports. And how snowshoeing can fit in with a lot of people's adaptive life. Okay, in snowshoeing, much like snow skiing being able to stop is very important. And not being able to stop is intimidating. So, when you get to the top of a hill, or your coming to the edge of someplace and you want to stop. It's always important if you're walking or jogging at a pretty good pace, that like anything you want to shorten the steps to decelerate. And the shorter you do that, and also be aware of over lapping. Then they can come to more of a stop. As opposed to the longer strides. It's harder to come to a stop when you are taking longer strides. So it's really just a, kind of a down shifting so to speak. But also being aware of the over lap. Cause you don't want to have them trip, especially if their coming to the edge of a creek or something like that."
