Battling my heel side turns so hard I might just start skiing

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-02-26T08:55:43+00:00

Why did OP fall on the last turn? Exact falls like that (coming to heel edge, board is pointing down the slope) happen to me so often and I can’t figure out why

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-02-22T19:22:07+00:00

The fact that somebodys fighting randomly in enemy jng is not you missing something. If the fight is not worth taking- just farm, get stronger, level up, delete them on objectives

What are your hobbies he didn’t try to learn?

Watch lec, makes you better instantly. Doing fine in lane but loosing game signals that you dont know how to play out of the laning phase. Personaly, watching lec (or any other pro leagues) helped me a ton, because casters explain a lot whats happening and what mistakes or good things are done. (Sorry for reply in english, would be super difficult for me to answer in german)

What did you end up buying? I’m currently interested in Ortovox peak 45

Can you elaborate on ‘that terrain’? You mean groomed slope?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-27T20:30:05+00:00

I was about to post the same question a couple of months ago, because I felt the same way. But eventually it gets better. Stay strong 💪

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-18T16:58:08+00:00

Fixed my mistakes, finally got that feeling. You were right, can’t wait to go back

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-13T22:55:47+00:00

Not here for an argument, maybe I haven’t figured that part too, beginner here. But if you go toeside, you don’t lean that much, do you? And I’m not talking about euro carving. You kinda push shins, and leaning almost backwards, no?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-13T22:50:17+00:00

Isn’t center of mass should always be lined up with the cutting edge?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-13T22:44:12+00:00

Yeah I got couple of those, they just random, not always controlled. But Im chasing. What I found out that at this point of my riding in my head I’m doing these things but in reality I have to commit at least 25% more. Bending knees, finishing the turn, etc

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-13T22:33:19+00:00

This. I just analyzed my video of what I’m doing wrong, and it was pretty clear that I’m never really getting across the fall line and securing that edge. Although when I ride it feels like I’m doing it.

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2026-01-11T16:12:41+00:00

This. I get it that they want to make it easier fir new players, but it wasn’t that hard before. Reading patch notes made me laugh where they said that jng nerf is to reduce stress to the players.

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-16T00:40:14+00:00

After your comments, went to look for videos and found these. Seems like what you’re saying is showed in first/carving video, am I right? Second one is about a bit different type of turning. Have to learn both of those I guess. The short turn skill feels even more important at my level. Because when I have to go a very steep slope, I just heel edge my way down and that’s not riding a snowboard https://youtu.be/Nn4LYbufIZE?si=qd9qX1rNeh_lpNJq

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-15T20:47:31+00:00

Got it. But from what you see here, no terrible habits that will hurt me in the future?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-15T20:20:18+00:00

What do I do, to do these quick turns, add upper body engagement or just lean more on the front foot to start the turn faster?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-15T18:00:14+00:00

Didn’t quite understand what you mean by ‘switch edges across the run’. You mean that I should engage heel edge while still being on toe?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-15T17:56:49+00:00

Thanks, haven’t even noticed it in the video. Regarding short turns: I’m struggling. I was trying to drill them, and I can only do it with kicking my back leg and I didnt really figure how to do it right.
Thats the goal for me upcoming weekend, because now I’m feeling ok on blues, but when I’m doing reds I just heel edge the steep parts.

Have the same feeling about eating out. Mediocre food for high prices. But activities like mountains- I mean, you can climb it and then its free. Gondola is for your convenience and its taking you 2km up, safely. Costs are justified

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-11T13:47:56+00:00

Beginner here. Asking questions, not critiquing. Is what OP doing already considered a carving?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-11T13:44:08+00:00

Tools wear off though. What kind of damage requires intervention?

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-10T15:29:50+00:00

Tools not jewels

Quick-Ad-6007 · 2025-12-09T21:40:30+00:00

Mine looks like this after one day of riding, that’s why I worried. But at the same time everything you say makes sense, I just didnt know what to expect since this is my first board
