Secrets To Turning A Snowboard and Preventing Heel Lift! 

he’s the best💪

How long did i tske u to master

I think I haven't dialed it down until today. But that's mostly because of the lack of enough days in the snow (have to drive 1.000 km to get to the next resort). However, it took me maybe 1 day to get used to the new riding style and another day to be all sure what I'm doing.

thanks for the tip!

Forget blisters I wanna save my calves

🤙🤙

Do your boots actually pack out? Cuz mine didn’t and dont 😂

@@KevAlberta mine do, but then again I put on 80 days and above every season. Also depends on the company who makes the boots and how hard/and often you ride.

@@coltonjobst3122 how many days would you say to pack out? I’m on day 40 and they aren’t any looser. How could someone struggle with cramped foot space for more than like 5 or 10 days max? If it doesn’t pack out in that time what’s the point Edit: Im using Burton boots btw

@@KevAlberta I ride 32 boots (best boots in my opinion) they have a really good liner that molds to your foot easier than most boot manufacturers. Another trick would be to go the a shop and have them thermal mold them, as in blast the liner with some heat, put a little rubber toe cap on your foot, put your foot in the boots and stand in them for 20 minutes to 30 minutes. That's how I fit boots for people that are having slight issues. I buy my boots only a half size smaller than I need. I also found burton boots don't pack out as easily, stiffer or more dense foam for their liners.

Literally started doing this and my calves and feet don't burn or hurt as much anymore

Bunkhouse eh?

This may not be your issue, but....if your ankles are too relaxed while you're riding, it will cause pressure on the tops of your feet. This typically occurs when your legs are too straight and your boards tilt is being generated through the highbacks rather than through angulation of the ankles. Rewatch his bit in this video about the heel side; it has some good bits on this issue.

@@markj3489 thanks for the reply brotha, not sure what the problem was but it was resolved with a couple more days on the mountain, I’ve definitely been making it a point to ride knees bent so i think you’re spot on! 🤙🏼

@Brandon Awesome. Keep working it!

RU-vid lmgtfy: Core strengthening, everything related to proper squatting, from foot arch throug hip mobility up to thoracic functionality. Aim for being able to do deep squats in _perfect_ form with at least your bodyweight. Also being able to do pistol squats is a good indication of being strong enough. I recommend channels like Squat university, athlean-x, calesthenicmovement, strength side. But I strongly recommend finding a professional trainer or a physician who can check your current form and set up a path for you. And this is tuff you want to do daily. In addition I also recommend doing A LOT of balancing. Really, A LOT. Like 15 minutes a day on average. It will improve your overall stability, especially in rought terrain to unbelievable levels. Also you need to improve your lactate threshold in your quads and glutes with cycling or wall squat presses. In my experience a simple "daily routine" just wont cut it its rather a lifestyle. But if you don't have time or motivation for that, then regular functional workouts mentioned above will be good enough. (btw I snowboard about 40 days a season, and also wakeboard 3-4 times a week in the summer, have 2 workout sessions with a trainer each week,do yoga and stuff at home on a daily basis and still I feel like a weak piece of s*ht :) )

Yewww

Where are we going!!

@@T25de 🏂🏂

Yeah, absolute game changer! stoked you got that one figured out.

That's going to be a tough question for somebody two ankles to answer. You're lucky it's your back foot at least, but there will probably be limitations when it comes to carving and powder riding, but you could look at skating/one foot riding tips and apply those principles.

He’s a lunatic !

The more you progress the more you’ll find you want a longer and stiffer board (generally speaking).

@@KevAlberta honestly I don’t really agree, as I got better I realized a slightly shorter length board is more fun without really trading off bombing potential, and on stiffness it depends what you’re doing. Stiff is great for powder and speedy carves but a soft board opens up a lot of creativity at lower speeds

@@mattward9926 that’s why I said generally speaking lol. There will be exceptions just like you mentioned
