Classical technique features common to all athletes.

Technique FwdA SideA UpA Roll Pitch Yaw
DP 1 major peak each cycle (poling) minimal; cycle visible for some athletes only 1 small peak each cycle, coinciding with FwdA troughs small but visible peaks <20 d/s each cycle peak > 75d/s identifies poling small but visible peaks <20 d/s each cycle
KDP 1 minor peak each cycle (kick); 1 major peak each cycle (poling) minimal 1 peak each cycle, coinciding with minor FwdA peak identifies kick left vs. right peak >75 d/s identifies poling; slight hump identifies kick identifies kick left vs. right
DS 2 even peaks each cycle (left/right) cycle visible for some athletes only 2 peaks each cycle, slightly after FwdA identifies kick left vs. right smaller peak than DP & KDP, <50 d/s identifies kick left vs. right
