hi, i'm felicity johnston; i'm a tandem cyclist.i'm stephanie morton, and i'm felicity's pilot on the tandem. so basically felicity's vision-impairedso we are on one big bike; uhm... i'm the pilot at the front so i compare it to being a pilot fora fighter jet. uhm, we're on this small track,

we've got a big machine; we've gotta wizz itaround the corners; we've gotta have that synchronicity ofworking together, and uhm... very high speeds as well, so it's good fun. we basically we're both the engine.we both have uhm, we both have pedals that we have to

and cranks that are connected. uhm, stephhas probably the harder job because she needs to steer as well; but all i need toconcentrate on is making sure that i mirror exactlywhat steph is doing and that synchronicity's really, really important. so when steph leansto the left for example i need to lean to the left with her. it's a bit like ifyou've ridden on a motorbike for example and you've been a pillion, you need to make sure that you'releaning with that person; and sometimes it can be a wild ride especially inparticular if we're sprinting against another tandem; it's a bit like uhm, being on a buckingbronco because we'll be zigging and zagging up and down the track and i just need tohave that inherit trust to make sure

that i, i hold onto those bars reallytight and just mirror whatever steph's doing. and that's the whole point of tandem; you'rejust working as one pair. you know once you get it right you canjust, you feel it perfectly around the track; you just fly through the corners and youhammer down the straights and you know when you're getting it right. i think, uhm... our preparation has been excellent. we, weoften train, uhm... on the bike as well as off the bike together. uhm...so we're not alwayson the tandem together; we're often on 'ergo' or do fixed bike training.

we also receive a lot of support from sasi instrength and conditioning; even down to a sports psychologist, so our preparation's been fantastic and wecouldn't have asked for you know anything better as a team.

what destroys your backhand clear (6) using too much thumb ok this one many players have wrong idea they think using thumb for backhand clear yes, but for backhand clear thumb is supporting thumb is not the main element to create the power watch this my thumb is there too many players are using thumb too much so shuttle is there they when they hit it they use their thumb to push it like this like that because of this it pushes the shuttle cock watch this please i am copying those players move back ok backhand i must use thumb so end of their thumb goes there like this because they belive thumb has to be used thumb has to push the shuttlecock so what happens ok shuttle is there they use thumb to push it push the backhand clear this should not be used the end thumb this area should not be used backhand clear this area has to be used there not there ok watch this here i hit if i take my if you look end thumb is not being used that's used not this i will show you the wrong way ...

badminton racquets

hi, my name is john webb. i have been coachingfor badminton for over 15 years. i am going to share some tips on how to play badminton. on walking through the basic selection ofbuying a badminton racquet, what we look for, watch out for. we start playing badmintonafter we learnt up holding a racquet from the sports centre which will be very clunkybig chunk metal and probably very weighed down. so, let me walk through what is theimportant thing before buying a badminton racquet. most racquets now weigh between 75 and 95grams. germany made over carbonyl graphite for good torque in the racquet. some racquetsalso are wide bodied which acquisitions the air resistance which makes your shots a lotquicker. you also importantly want to be looking fortwo-piece or one piece racquet which means narrow big clunky metal join there, but thewhole flows through, one piece metal looks lighter. it has got a good strength and actuallyit has good connecting energies when you're hitting a shot quicke...
