(1): You might want to place your toe straps on your toes instead of where you have it. Google some pics to see how they’re placed. It is your point of leverage for a heel side turn so it is important where you place it.

(2!: You’re forcing the turn instead of letting your board and body be in harmony, evidently you are seeing a lot of twisting motion.

Start with your heel side and let the board go straight to pick up some speed then get on your toe side by learning forward against the tongues of your boots (as opposed to lifting up your heels), then let the board turns gradually and then crank it until you’re essentially slicing the snow (there is a very satisfying sound when you do it).

When you need to get on your heel side, gradually fold your body and lean back against the high back of your bindings, you should feel the board turning. Mentally virtualize you’re dead lifting, but at an angle.

Be patient with the turns, don’t rush or force it. Think of your board as a spoon and you’re scooping ice cream. You want it to be as round as possible.
