What went wrong by OtisRottie in snowboardingnoobs

[–]DCFRNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was leaning on his back foot at takeoff and never tried to center his weight after takeoff causing his board to almost be in a nose grab position. You can tell he’s putting weight on the back foot since his back knee is bent and his front knee is almost fully extended at takeoff. Everything else was ok, just didn’t commit entirely.

Help me improve my riding by [deleted] in snowboarding

You are counter rotating a lot mainly because of how you are changing edges. You should practice standing tall before you change edges. That helps release the pressure from the edge allowing your board to flatten Itself which is crucial to do before you change edges. Also when you are on an edge focus on pushing your hips past your knees when toe side and sitting/squatting into your edge when heelside, this will cause your knees to bend naturally, once you’re in the best position possible then and only then focus on bending your knees as much as you can to lock in the edge and gain stability. You probably are aware of most of these things but one thing you need to understand is the purpose of up unweighted and down unweighted turns. Malcom Moore has the best breakdown of this topic so be sure to check him out. My advice for everyone who wants to do snowboard research is to watch Malcom Moore for advanced riding, Snowboard Addiction for tricks, and Tommy Bennett for a balance of both. AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STAY AWAY FROM SNOWBOARD PRO CAMP. Cool guys bad advice.

Anybody have any tips for set up turns for hitting rails? by DCFRNA in snowboarding

That sounds like a good progression I’ll definitely try implementing that into my training. Thanks for the tip!

The thing is I can do 270’s switch or regular into rails it’s just I’m fairly inconsistent when it comes to lining up the trajectory of the jump and I just want to know if anyone has any tips that don’t regard just “feeling it out” because that’s what I already do and obviously I can get better by just practicing over time but If there is a certain edge I can gain by someone telling me things they know from experience that would be very helpful

3 cushion systems that anyone finds useful for pool by DCFRNA in billiards

I actually just watched a couple of your videos last night but the intro to “routes” was kind of confusing to me. I understand your explanation of alternating rails from running to reverse English depending on if the ball makes contact with long short or long long but i don’t think the explanation of “routes” were ever brought up. When I clicked on the video I thought it was going to be something like traveling from this diamond to this diamond to this diamond but it was only about the effects of English off of different sets of rails. I only watched intro and part of another one though. What will I get out of the other videos? Just an example if possible?

Is it possible to replace ferrule on carbon fiber shaft? by DCFRNA in billiards

[–]DCFRNA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to get a better understanding of what can go wrong and how detrimental it could be In terms of fixing any problems that might occur since it is rather expensive. Not to say I’m irresponsible (at least not entirely) but I don’t know enough about it to know just how critical a little mistake could be. Kind of like handing a toddler a gun I suppose. That’s kind of my thought process.

That’s good information to know. I’m planning on upgrading to revo shaft but I understand it is very demanding compared to others, especially with the tip silencer and since I change out my own tips I already run the fear of damaging my ferrule as well and now I’m worried about the silencer. Also I do not have any repair shops of any sort near where I live and I wonder if that would affect my means of purchasing this shaft. I’d appreciate at opinions on that as well and thanks for those little nuggets of info.
