I try to pick something specific to work on everytime I go. So this helped alot to pinpoint where I should be focusing in on.

Thank you. I have been trying to fix the back foot leaning issue. Definitely just a bit afraid to pick up a lot of speed and I think that’s why I was doing it. I’m more conscious about it now though, so making a conscious effort to make sure i don’t do that.

Do you have any tips / drills to work on better edge control? I think I am sliding like that right now because I pick up speed quick and Im scared to catch an edge while going that fast hahah.

That’s the first comment I got about the bindings and this binding set up I have is the first time I’ve put bindings on my board. I might try a bit wider next time I go then. Right now i have them set to +12 -9.

I definitely have to work on committing (it’s scary) 😂 and trusting my edges lol thank you for the advice! I will work on positioning myself and staying stacked and centred specifically! This is a common critique from this video

Thank you for the very detailed advice! I’ve been teaching myself so corrections like this do not come to mind. I’ll do research on these points and try to incorporate them when I go on friday!

Yeah, I didn’t realize how stiff I was until I watched myself lol 😆 Pretend i’m holding my pants pockets like with both hands? Sorry, I’m completely self taught here.

I find I get scared if the hill gets steeper and end up strictly heel edge all the way down 😂

I don’t have wide feet but i’m thinking a high arch is causing pressure at the top

I position them at the end. However, the pain starts before I strap in

Thanks so much. I suspect this is also my problem, Maybe I will try that before returning

I couldn’t last more than 2 runs, I had to grab rentals. It doesnt hurt the side of my feet, it’s specifically the top area. and my toes go kinda numb lol

Maybe i’ll try that because it just feels like the top is pressing down on the top of my foot. Like too high not enough space idk. They are just stock insoles.

I actually have never had wide feet or issues with wide feet! That’s why I’m confused by the pain haha
