2nd block in the books. 12" aspen block eith 17.5 degree chisel grind. need to modify the board a bit to feel more comfortable. But it feels good to finally start practicing the discipline!
Rotation is your friend in this event. Experiment slowly with getting your arms extended out a little further from your body mostly on the up hits and really rotate up into those hits
I can see that, I will work on the rotation. I'm gonna switch out my shoes and add in a small ledge at the end of the board to index along with some grip tape. I couldn't really tell where I was on the board and was nervous about stepping off. But I can see how contracted short in my swings I am up there. It's quite a fun event though, looking forward to working on it!
