Just one question: DVD. When? :) |

Working on it... working on it. :) |

Really nice and propulsive first kick. |

Yes, flexibility at the top. Every top swimmer has got it. Sometimes even more than ballet dancers ! One question about the back kick : should we keep the toes pointed (and they automatically flex due to the water weight) or should we deliberately flex the feet to add power to the forward kick ? |
|
|
look at thos flexible knees and huge feet |
|
|
Very nice but still not same as Phelps |
|
|
Camy... don't keep the feet too rigid... this should just happen. James, who is the same as Phelps? |
|
|
Sorry I mean Eric's ankle is really flexible but not that efficient as Phelps' although Eric's ankle is normally flexible but Phelps' ankle is so hypermobile which its impossible to match it |
