00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.220
[Clip begins mid-explanation.] Very you're wearing very low high heels, you know, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.800
There's a little gap between my heels and my

3
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:18.620
Foot rest and pushing off the balls of my feet. I'll talk about the [thigh braces?] in a moment

4
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:25.060
Hip pads. Okay. So when you when you capsize somebody in a boat on ground, right?

5
00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:29.400
You're gonna place position yourself in front of them or behind them and you're going to look at

6
00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:33.740
Like where their belly button would be if there's any kind of indicators there like

7
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:39.240
A tag on a buoyancy aid or maybe there's a badge here or a line down the back like where there's

8
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.140
A seam in the material and you're going to observe and see that when they capsize whoo

9
00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:48.860
Didn't quite get it right that time did their body shift now your pelvis is going to

10
00:00:48.860 --> 00:00:53.100
Naturally relax here but you're really watching that point to see if their body has shifted if

11
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:58.620
Their body has shifted they're they're sliding on the seat and that's probably too much okay

12
00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:04.180
Now we don't want the hip pads to be in place that it's so tight that becomes uncomfortable and they get pins and needles

13
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:09.020
But if their body is shifting the chances of them being able to roll successfully are slightly reduced

14
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:15.980
Okay, shifting how much if it slides at all if their [bum?] is sliding on the seat at all is what I would say

15
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.220
We just have to be you know

16
00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:22.220
Maybe just have a bit of carry mat or something or yoga mat which you can put in there in very

17
00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:28.160
Very like five mill increments maybe to take up that space could just be a temporary thing as they're doing

18
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:36.940
We did a rolling clinic for instructors in UL a long time ago in University of Limerick

19
00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:41.240
And we took a boat into the pool, you were there, and we took out everything out of

20
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:45.460
The boat, everything. Took the seat out, took the footrests out, took the backrest

21
00:01:45.460 --> 00:01:49.680
Out and people who could roll could roll a boat without footrests, could roll a boat

22
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.380
Without backrests, hip pads, the whole works, but they could not roll the boat when we

23
00:01:53.380 --> 00:01:58.310
Took the [thigh braces?] out. So the [thigh braces?] are really really important and as you

24
00:01:58.310 --> 00:02:02.990
See with that knee drive where that energy is coming from it's a critical part of stabilising

25
00:02:02.990 --> 00:02:10.650
The boat. So in my experience in the last five or six years especially I've been very conscious

26
00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:14.930
Of where the [thigh braces?] sit on a person's legs and I would have thought years ago that

27
00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:18.270
The further forward the [thigh braces?] are the easier it would be to roll because you have

28
00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:22.850
More mechanical advantage but actually from experience and I don't really know why

29
00:02:23.430 --> 00:02:27.050
It seems to me that when the [thigh braces?] are moved back to a more intimate position

30
00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:34.530
That people have been more successful in the [roll?]. Okay, so there's that muscle there. I call it the cycling muscle

31
00:02:34.530 --> 00:02:39.730
I don't know what it's called. Maybe somebody knows what that one's called most boats when you sit into them [name unclear] will correct me

32
00:02:39.730 --> 00:02:40.630
I'm sure

33
00:02:41.230 --> 00:02:45.310
Manufacturers make boats with the seat all the way back the footrests all the way gone and [thigh braces?] all the way

34
00:02:45.310 --> 00:02:48.010
Forward so when you sit into the boat in the shop, it feels lovely and comfortable

35
00:02:48.690 --> 00:02:55.350
But you have to adjust that for you. So it'll usually sit somewhere near that knee muscle. Okay, right there

36
00:02:55.350 --> 00:03:01.910
Which in my experience with students it's not been the most effective, so just bringing the

37
00:03:01.910 --> 00:03:07.170
[thigh brace?] back to behind that muscle is a more effective place in my experience. I'm willing

38
00:03:07.170 --> 00:03:17.250
To be corrected on that. If you're in particular using a [brand unclear] boat from say a year or two ago

39
00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:25.320
Backwards there are two screws on the side and one is under the cockpit [coaming?] and oftentimes

40
00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:30.580
People undo the one on the top and don't realize there's a second screw needed to

41
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:39.700
Be opened to adjust that [thigh brace?] and they get angry and they rip, and [unclear wording about the boat/hardware]

42
00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:45.660
So it happens a lot yeah on them generally in the older boats if you've got a red

43
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:52.040
Washer around the outside of the screw that's adjustable if you've got a gray one it's not

44
00:03:52.650 --> 00:04:01.910
That's cool, so [thigh braces?] are quite critical. Finally with the backrest for me in whitewater

45
00:04:01.910 --> 00:04:05.690
I can put my hand flat in behind this is just for my own personal preference I can

46
00:04:05.690 --> 00:04:10.850
Put my hand flat in back there but I can't make a fist okay and that feels for me like

47
00:04:10.850 --> 00:04:15.510
I can I can move my body to paddle the boat quite effectively and then when I need that

48
00:04:15.510 --> 00:04:20.730
Backrest to pull a move or flare or whatever it's right there for me I can push I can push

49
00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:26.570
[unclear phrase about comfort] okay you'll see freestylers and surf kayakers possibly slalom

50
00:04:26.570 --> 00:04:29.850
Boaters as well it might be maybe not slalom boaters but definitely the freestyle and surf

51
00:04:29.850 --> 00:04:33.650
It will be a lot tighter the boats will be a lot tighter because they're responding to

52
00:04:33.650 --> 00:04:37.250
An awful lot of more dynamic movements and they want the body the boat to instantly

53
00:04:38.190 --> 00:04:44.430
I think so uh yeah let’s just [unclear] fit-out okay now I realize here some people

54
00:04:44.430 --> 00:04:49.210
Would be using club boats or maybe commercial boats to uh to teach the [roll?] you don't have

55
00:04:49.210 --> 00:04:55.420
Choice right of moving this you know do your best, do your best I'm talking

56
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:58.780
About this is being kind of the gold standard setup do your best to get as

57
00:04:58.780 --> 00:05:02.100
Close to that as you can if you're going to concentrate on anything and you

58
00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:06.110
Only have certain amount of time concentrate on the [thigh braces?] they're

59
00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:12.080
Getting those right so that's fit out have you seen anything that could

60
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:17.940
[unclear wording] less movement in the seat so you're saying bringing

61
00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:23.640
Some some roll like that or yoga mat I find is quite good because it's cheap you can cut it up

62
00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:29.160
Into little squares it has little grips on it so it's less likely to slide [unclear phrase]

63
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.640
But you know if you do happen to have access to like anybody who buys a dagger boat actually

64
00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:38.000
They come with loads of strips shims for it they usually come with way more than you need

65
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.020
So just keeping those for a while so you can just pop them inside
