Straps
Description:
Strap Doubles is the next step after Handle Doubles. Straps consists of a base skier and a climber. However, instead of holding the ski rope handle, the base skier will clip the ski rope into their waistband clip, thereby freeing the hands for a much larger selection of tricks. Straps is more in line with show skiing, and a number of Lake Saint Louis skiers have participated at the regional and national levels in this act.
Skills Needed:
Strap doubles partners usually have worked together in Handles, and are confident in one another’s abilities. The base skier must be proficient on two skis, and the climber must be brave and graceful in performing the tricks.
Equipment Needed:
All necessary equipment is available at the ski show site.
