7 Reasons Why CM Is Easy
1) The Clendenin Method (CM) was created so you don’t have to decipher arcane terms, or understand physics, or hold a PhD in Biomechanics to be a great skier. Johnny C has already done the thinking, experimenting, and testing of the Clendenin Method so you can get right to the learning.
“If you can walk and get up from the toilet without touching
the sides, you can become a great bump skier.” Johnny C
2) CM’s basic Keys to the Kingdom™ are the epitome of easy. We start by waking up sensations in the feet. Since there are so many nerves in the bottom of your feet, getting sensations started down there is easy.
3) We use terms that are easy to remember and Key progressions that are fun to learn, like the Love Spot™ and the Twitch Move™
4) The Love Spot™ is a part of every great turn. It’s the moment and place when your skis are edgeless, your stance is balanced, tall, elegant, and you are in control of your destiny. Once you see it, feel it and own it, you’ll Love it. You’ll want to play in the Love Spot as you begin your dance with gravity.
5) The Twitch™ is as quick and simple as the name implies. It’s a Twitch of the foot that releases the bottom ski into the new turn. Once you get the Twitch, all your turns will be parallel and the whole mountain will be yours.
6) CM gives you a parallel entry and takes away your stem. Parallel entry is easy with the Twitch™ and a proper Pole Touch. Touch to Twitch™, find the Love Spot™ and your life will change forever.
“Our job is to train your horse so you can manage her. Once you
know you can slow her down and turn where and when you want –
you’re free to ride wild through the glades.” Johnny C
7) Since Johnny C and the CM team have taken the thinking out of it, your mind is free to build confidence and focus on learning. When your mind is free of toil and worry, you are at your best to absorb new sensations in the feet, focus on the Keys, then ride your new horse wherever your heart desires.
For some ridiculous reason, known only by maybe Einstein or Freud, a lot of us approach improvement in skiing or anything else we do, with the attitude of “NO Pain, NO Gain.” We’ve bought into the idea that we can’t be great at something, like learning to ski bumps or off-piste skiing, without a lot of sweating, grunting, and risk taking.
I don’t buy into the idea of “No Pain, No Gain.” With CM and our great coaching you can find a new level with ease. I’ve run CM through the gamut and it works. I’ve tested, calculated, and felt the pain so you can breeze through it.
Come – join me and my team of coaches. You’ll quickly learn how CM = Great Skiing!
You don’t have to be Einstein to Get IT.
