[QUOTE="Euphemis, post: 1212360, member: 113255"] All good advice here. Another downhill method I use, with also slight knee bend and using poles, is to step down with the feet a few inches farther apart than usual. This causes your centre of gravity to sway left and right over your feet; in effect, a built-in trail switchback. I learned this via Katy Bowman - she is a biomechanist who has written several books on proper movement and also has lots of information available on the web. [/QUOTE]
