You can also help with your back foot by pressing opposite side. For example, if you're pressing on your front heel and turn your knee outwards, you can press your toe on the back foot. This way you'll create more resistance under your front foot but less under the back one, allowing you to rotate even quicker. And no, you won't catch an edge this way, as you should also lean into your turn 😀 and it would be impossible to press that hard with your back foot so that you might catch an edge
Thank you for your reply and suggestion. And yes I understand and agree independently steering your legs in opposition is a great way to get good active quick steering. However bare in mind that this was meant to be a suggestion for beginners haha.
It’s something that is essentially a drill to make you better at riding in general. Dolphin turns help with popping off edges, learning how to become more dynamic, and how to get more power into your carved turns. It also just is overall really good to get more advanced with edge control and understand how body movements affect the board. It’s not meant to be a trick to impress your friends.
it can be helpful to ride moguls and it’s also a foundation movements of Japanese ground tricks style (guratori), it can be quite impressive when it’s done smoothly and combined with presses and spins !
I try to avoid the ollie as a beginner on jumps and just pop. I used to think you needed to ollie to get more height and distance, but I found that I just needed a little more speed and a little more pop. The ollie kept throwing my weight backwards, and I would always land more over my tail. You can compensate by moving your weight more forward in the air, but it makes jumps a lot more awkward.
These are not dolphin turns. You should work your board from tip to tail, and the power that you've created will drive you to the next turn. And what you do is just an ollie into a turn.
Yup, I agree that the typical dolphins turn is a natural result of transitioning press from tip to tail and repeat that. But he still makes a good demonstration for exaggerating the motion.
Hi! Thank you for this helpful video. By the way, I notice a lot of people keep on talking about Avalorexon Training Program (search on google), but I'm not sure if it is really good. Have you ever tried this ski program known as Avalorexon Training Program? I've heard many incredible things about it.
