Happy 2020, another year has passed and another year has come. 2020 has again reminded me of how time has passed so rapidly and high school graduation is one step closer to us. Let’s all hope it will be a wonderful year once again.
First of all, the first CAS experience of this year that I decided to initiate is pursuing an even more advanced level on one of my beloved winter sport: skiing. I have been skiing for the past 5 years and I am confident to say that it will not stop easily. The speed, the curving turns, or the aesthetic-liked motions are the main reasons I am so into ski. This year, I would like to learn a new skill in ski that I have never tried before which I would like to use this CAS experience as an essential opportunity to achieve this goal. The skill that I am learning is called “worm turns”, which is a skill that can be done by constant speed and an accurate posture. A video from youtube was the inspiration that I came up with this idea and it is also very cool to do such skill on a ski. Thus, I informed my ski instructor about it and we began to make lots of attempts the next day, which at the end I was actually expressed with the product and looking forward to doing some more during the next winter season.
(Here are some videos of the trials and products of this CAS experience and the Youtube video that inspired me to do the attempt.)
Hey Henry, I’ve always one to try skiing in one day. What inspired you to try the trick worn turn? And was it easy to do this trick during the beginning phase of the practices?
Hi, Henry, I think your work in applying CAS experience to skiing is excellent. I hope you can do some creative work on your trick such as making on a trick that symbolizes you. Since there are many skills and tricks in skiing. I enjoy your skiing video and can’t wait to see further improvement! you got this!
