More running a-frames

">

She is putting in more than 2 strides when Im behind her. Hmm, does anyone know if thats ok? I really want a 2 stride hit but when she is collecting she needs to put more strides in. At least she isnt jumping off before the yellow but she might do that.

Here she is more extended, so she only does 2 hits.

Thanks for posting the video in slow mo - otherwise I would've never been able to see what you were talking about! As it is, I had to watch twice to count the strides. Wish I knew something to help you but I know zero about aframes (except what I have learned from watching you). I see what you mean about adding more strides and she looks like she could slip back into creeping down. Maybe it takes more time? I hope someone watches and gives you good advice!

having never trained that, and having just watched the RS video a long time ago....I am not even a learned person on such things, but to me when you are behind, it just looks like I could see her jumping off before the yellow soon to me it sort of looks like that might be the way that is going.....but maybe that is what it is supposed to look like before it all comes together, sooooo how much help am I? NONE, LOL. Sorry.

I'm no expert, but it almost looked to me like on the A-frames where she added strides she was anticipating a turn cue from you. Almost like how you would expect them to collect when they are expecting a turn cue on a jump. I could be wrong though.

The last video was beautiful!

Miley looks fast even in slow motion. LOL.

Her slowing down and adding additional strides when you are behind her is natural. They do this while jumping. Whether it is ideal or not... I don't know since I've never trained RC's with Rachel's method. Even Summit will start to slow down a little on the DW when I repeatedly decelerate and slow down behind him (like if I'm training a hard turn off the DW). However, if I am behind him but still accelerating, he runs at full speed. I think dogs naturally do this.
