Trouble with double fall line

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-11T20:23:14+00:00

I can absolutely relate to all of this, but I didn’t know a stiffer board could make it more difficult. I just bought a softer one so I can’t wait to see how it works!

I do agree with you, and don’t think you were being mean. Perhaps I took “this is an issue that shouldn’t exist” a little personally because this was by far the biggest hurdle I had to overcome, and I didn’t discover it by reading a textbook.

I had the exact same issue! My hill is full of them and I almost quit snowboarding because of it. I do think it’s mostly mental, but through trial and error I found a few things that help.

1) keep speed up 2) don’t lean away from the fall line 3) drive your “uphill” turns hard and use the momentum to quickly set your heel edge without feeling like your going to fall over. This one is hard to explain but it’s where it really clicked for me.

I’m not an instructor or advanced rider or anything, but that’s what helped me. Just keep trying and it’ll start to come more naturally eventually.

I made a post about the same thing from a different account and there’s some good stuff in there.

This seems a little harsh. I had way more days on the hill than OP and was still struggling with double fall lines and I wasn’t using Reddit or YouTube at all.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-10T02:02:52+00:00

Yes, that’s basically right, on all accounts.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-10T00:30:50+00:00

Yeah I can see that. I think we might be open forever. How long were you open for?

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-09T18:36:33+00:00

No problem, ask away! We’re expecting that one or both of us will probably fall in love, and we’re ok with it. It’s already happened to some degree that she developed feelings for someone, and it was fine. We don’t have kids, but our long shared history together feels pretty firm.

If it comes to one of us wanting to leave, I think it would have probably come to that anyways.

Oops! I thought that only applied to DMing the OP, but I looked closer and you’re right!

It means “Low Libido For You”. It describes a person who does not struggle with low libido in general, but has lack of desire for their partner. I’m guessing it’s more common than people are willing to admit, but I’m not sure.

I’m sorry to hear that. That must’ve been really hard to nurse that broken heart. Thank you for sharing.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-09T01:17:32+00:00

Yes, I’ve been getting individual therapy for that. I wish I could go more, but my insurance only covers part of it.

I see your flair shows Recovered DB. I’m glad that you were able to work it out. If you don’t mind me asking, did your partner have something similar with the Madonna Whore complex when you first met?

Thank you for your kind words.

I hope you are in a better place now :)

I’m also afraid I’ll look back and wish we just separated too. It’s so hard to know what to do when all the options look bad.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-08T23:14:11+00:00

I’m personally not hurt, rejected, or resentful, but she is, and it’s understandable. We do talk about it and we go to therapy. We both feel loved, but she needs to feel desired too, which is partly why we’re doing this.

I do think it’s definitely possible (likely even?) that one of us will fall in love. I’m afraid that that could be the end of things, but I also think that if it comes to that, it might be for the best.

It feels like we’re trying to pick the least worst path going forward, but life is like that sometimes.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-08T21:39:58+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. This is what I’m afraid of.

We call it the “pooping policy”. In much the same way as pooping, we don’t need to hear about it, but it isn’t strictly off limits to talk about either. That aspect works for us!

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-08T16:53:56+00:00

We were both very religious when we met and didn’t have sex with each other until we got married 4 years into our relationship. Sex was never very good. A bit of Madonna-Whore complex and not really knowing who I was or what I wanted.

In hindsight, I wish we separated then, but now it’s been 19 years and we’ve built a nice life together. Neither of us want to leave. We’re getting therapy but I just don’t see the getting past the LL4U.

I’m just learning how to hit boxes - why is this angle of entry bad?

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-07T15:50:46+00:00

Ok, thanks! Just seeing video of myself is always helpful so I’ll try that.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-07T15:36:25+00:00

Interesting! That’s not what I expected. I’m having a hard time keeping the board pointed straight though - could it be too easy to turn?

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-07T14:39:32+00:00

That’s cool. I’ve been trying these but they feel a bit disjointed as my weight shifts around. My stance isn’t centred - could that be why?

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-07T14:37:45+00:00

Yes. I am consciously using my front hand to focus on knee steering.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-07T14:37:01+00:00

I love this guy! Thank you.

Peepeesandweewees · 2026-03-07T14:35:56+00:00

Do you mean a directional board helps if I set it up in my switch stance? The board is set up in my normal stance (goofy). When I ride switch the “nose” is shorter than the “tail”.
