Skiing and riding...Similar?
Anybody watching the Olympics notice the similarity between leaning on skis and leaning on a motorcycle? I was watching the downhill and saw a skier leaning way into a gate. She held her poles almost like they were a handlebar. Looked just like how a rider looks, leaning way into a curve.

Nothing alike, not even a little bit.

Interesting... I can see the correlation... how the body responds to the forces wanting to put it out of the turn... Never really thought of it before.

the stress on a skiers legs and core is like nothing experienced on a bike.
It may look similar, but its nothing like a bike.

ok, fair enough, the overall is alike. I was talking about the stresses on the body.

My problem with skiing is that it's being shown on the broadcast network instead of hockey. Similarities or not to bikeing be damned!

Try going out and racing 4 or 5 races on a Sunday and I guarantee you that you'll realize just how much stress your legs and core can experience on a bike. The basic physics and physicality of the two is very similar.
