We love this video. The basic up is the core skill. The boat dips because of the speed of the turn. In the reverse up, the boat dips because you are slowing it down so fast. Use the reverse up if you overcook your entry.. Sweep up is just rock and roll because you are balanced, always moving forward and on the power for the exit. We love this video. Don't forget it is the turn that makes the back go down, not the other way around.

that is so amazingly fluid and elegant, i have to start practicing more

Great video, going to try it all this night at my training =D

Wow! He made that look easy.

Thanks for the response, I have a galasport, cool I don't know whether my shoulders are strong enough to cope with my hand so far behind my head. and yeah i understand. Thanks for the tips also.

Fast and smooth technique. Very nice! However, getting your overhead hand behind your head is a great way to dislocate your shoulder. Other than that, a great video!

Great vid.. When can we see the next one? Maybe some downstreams?

Great video ! I'll try it on next Sunday. He he he....

In an upstream gate you want to stay as high as possible without interfering with the mechanics of your stroke and your posture. Its important that you can still make a good stroke and your posture is correct. Whats good and whats correct is personal. Also you always want to keep pressure on the blade. Coming back to your question where to keep the blade, there is not one particular place where the blade has to be. It depends on what is explained in the above. Hope this helps.

Ciao Daniele! Once again, thanks a lot for this video! It helped me a lot:-)! I really like your paddling style, you paddle with a lot of power on the blade, but also very technical. You don't see that quite often. I got a question. At the end of the race, we get tired, how did you get the mental strength to still be able to have huge amounts of pressure on the blade? Do you have any tips for me to get stronger mentally? Tanks a lot!

I've got a pretty vague grasp on slalom technique, but it seems like he's pulling up on the water with a lot of his strokes and punching forward with his top hand. I've always been told to keep your top hand close to your forehead and keep your bottom arm mostly straight during the power phase to engage the torso and to not pull up on the water. Any thoughts?

Awesome video thank you for doing this. I have noticed that when doing the basic upsteam on the flat water your top hand is quite far behind your head yet on the moving water it isn't. Why do you put your top hand so far back on the flat. Also on the reverse stroke upsteam, why on the gate with the large current do you use a reverse and not a basic? Also I am struggling to get my boat pivoting quickly on a reverse stroke, do you have any pointers?

Daniele for president! :)

Don't know yet to be honest. When I do have some spare time or when one of the canoe sports associations will commission Sportscene.

nice

That upperhand behind head is usual among top level athletes. Just watch Martikan, Lefevre or Kauzer. It allows you to stick closer to poles and gives you more space for draw. With your upper hand behind head you are able to turn your boat almost as quick as with backstroke but still keep a lot of speed. Also the exit is much better because you have more space for forward stroke. I think it's not dangerous but maybe you have to be strong enough for it.

@danimolm Daniele I have just noticed that your hands move up and down on the shaft of the paddle a lot, is this deliberate? If so why do you do that? Just to change the lever?

very nice! You make it look so easy. I'm only a mediocre Masters' slalom paddler of a few years, but Daniele would you call that first one a Basic Upstream?! You enter almost on inside stroke, dufek, subtle slice, and exit on the same inside stroke. Looks a bit tricky to me. I would have thought the basic upstream is the third one - sweep, dufek, and sweep out, although even there you are subtly sliding your dufek under the pole. However, maybe I was taught differently in Canada!
