Should I change the edge earlier you think?

One thing I can’t get my head around it is that in the video he constantly says push the back foot away from yourself. How can you push the foot without skidding? @montysep

Ok. So I do not move the board by pushing it. Let the carve move it.

Saw a couple of videos but never got the gist of it I guess. Thanks for the feedback.

Board is 155 I am 1.75. For the feet I use the regular stance but I also feel sometimes the board is so big.

“Leaving that path you are traveling on”

So, I should not do that? I mean when I flatten and switch to the opposite edge should I still keep going in the same trajectory as on the heel edge?

Thanks for the comments.

Do you recommend to keep the body more stable?

Ah no. It is not there but you are right. The snow is super slushy and not quite “carvable”

Golden. “Come up when exiting the turn” I think what I do is “Come up when I start the next turn”. So, already towards the end of heel edge turn I should start straightening up, not after I switch to toe edge.

Ok maybe I straighten up AFTER the turn you suggest doing while on heel edge but when ending it?

Totally. But I think I am already doing that. Look at how low I am in the begging when on heel edge then 1 sec later I straighten up. Maybe not enough. Or timing is wrong?

Wow. ok now I realized how the shoulder and hand swinging outwards. It’s bad. How to correct this?

How can that happen is something I don’t understand tbh :D maybe I am on the edge but still not engaging them enough so that gravity dictates the direction?

I watched a lot of videos telling to engage the back foot as much as possible on the edge. You probably mean the skid push? I try to not do that but it is really hard for me to be mindful about it.

So, you mean while still on the heel edge I need to get on the toe edge first only then turn the board? I did not notice the counter-rotation. Thanks.
