After crashing pretty bad learning switch, I decided to give it another try. I made some progress by starting with falling leaf. This made me realize i didn’t put enough weight on my front foot (switch).
Talk with the other people on the lift. If everyone's going the same way, you're golden, but if people in the left seats want to go right and people on the right want to go left, you'll need to make a plan.
@tommiebennett do you detune your edges at all for rails? I've comfortably started to hit BS boardslides on boxes and flat rails like the one in this video, but I attempted one on a PVC coated tube and my toe edge immediately got stuck in the tube and I fell forward. I can do without boardslides on tubes to be honest, but I'm worried about the same thing happening if I attempt it on a street style rail.
So true about opening up and creating the core tension that makes your lower body want to line up with your shoulders. Don't underplay twisting the board to skid and that your feet are what actually snowboard
I have spent over 39 years not snowboarding or skiing at all. But something tells me that if you’re better than other people at a sport, get the hell away from them. leave greens for slow riders.
I like being able to do tricks and ride switch. Plus, realistically the powder only lasts a few runs to maybe a few hours then it’s complaint blown out. At that point I feel held back by most pow boards
