"WALKER B" STUDY NOTES
| 1. | Icabod is imitating a fast practice session, and not a full racing mode. |
| 2. | Each leg is color coded to note its gait cycle phase: blue = stance phase, green = swing phase, and red (if present) = flight phase. |
| 3. | Icabod is showing the swing-phase foot passing very close to the ground as it moves under the centerline of the body (as typically seen with top-flite racewalkers). |
| 4. | Icabod shows the heel of the swing leg rising a bit just before first contact. The very best racewalkers tend to straighten the knee at the very last moment before contact, and their heel rises very little (if at all) before contact. |
| 5. | The red dots on Icabod's hip sockets helps you track his hip rotation and hip drop. |
| 6. | Icabod's forearms are shorter in front of the body to represent their being brought across the chest at a greater angle to the line of travel (which is typical of many, if not most, top walkers). |
