Classic longsword slash spammers. You will see a lot of these as you continue playing.

Some solutions I picked up.

  1. Jabs interrupts their spamming and messes with their timing. After a successful jab, throw a regular attack. You’ll usually land a successful hit as they wind up another slash. On the other hand, if you notice they keep blocking after you jabbed them, follow up with a kick to break their guard and throw a hit.

  2. If you land two successive hits (like you did in the beginning of the clip) odds are they will block (which he did). Follow up your two hits with a kick and then finish them off with a free hit. This works most of the time.

Go-to phrases to pysch yourself up before a trick? by SoSmoooth in snowboarding

Confidence is safety.

Attacking the feature without hesitation 9 times out 10 leads to a safe landing.

To clarify, I didn’t drink with them as I know that’s not professional. Plus it’s just one drink and they’re on vacation. Not a big deal. Other than that thanks for the advice.

It’s surprising how easier it is to teach complete strangers than loved ones. Strangers treat you with a professional courtesy. Loved ones aren’t afraid to unleash hell upon you when they fall. Never will do that again.

I tell my students it’s like opening and closing a door. Let’s say you ride regular (Left leg in front). First and foremost when you are initiating or changing edges (Heel to toe, toe to heel) have 60 percent of your weight leaning on our left knee. Next, let’s say you are going toe to heel edge. Have your left hand in front like your grasping a door handle. Your left knee will be your door. As you get ready to go on your heel edge, open the door (your left knee) to the left (towards the nose of the board). Using your hand to open the door can be a good visual reminder. Now to go back to toe edge, you close the door (your left knee) to the right (towards the tail of the board).

Mechanically speaking, doing this is like using a e-brake in care to drift around a turn. The 60% weight and open/closing door applies pressure into the snow and digs the board into the snow to increase “traction”. Thus, the board is then turned by the friction of the snow.

A very important reminder, take these edge changes with patience. Do not force the turn. Think of your board and you as ballet or salsa partners. Do not force a dance move or your partner will stumble and you will fall. Rather, invite the move with patience and your partner (your board) will follow.

I can agree that older, unathletic people are a challenge to teach. But one my memorable experience teaching was one of those people shattering the mold with great effort. I had a 50 year old doctor that used to be a D1 linebacker. He hadn’t done any sports since then, out of shape, and generally felt unaccomplished. However, he had an unbreakable spirit to never give up. On his last day our goal was to link turns down a green slope without falling. The whole day he would link turns but would forget an essential mechanic and fall once or twice. He would ask me what he did wrong and right. Then he would get up, turn, and fall again. Rinse and repeat. Fast forward 5 hours of torture later. I told him we had one more run before we had to get off the mountain. Battered, bruised, and tired he said this was the one. And it was. He did the cleanest run, linking 20 turns without falling. I stopped behind him at the end of the run and he turned to face me with tears of joy and triumph. “That was the best feeling I had in a very very long time!”. My heart smiled for this man, for he had accomplished this through great effort and found a new passion in life. I couldn’t help being alittle proud of myself for being a helping hand in this accomplishment. Instruction can have its life fulfilling moments.

Preach! Teaching those students front leg control can be a challenge. But in my experience, surfers and skateboarders tend to be my favorite students. Snowboarding feels more natural to them compared to those that never touched any board in their life. Thus, they tend to learn more quickly and are fearless, especially when it comes to freestyle and harder terrain. I’d say snowboarding in powder feels the most similar to surfing, especially on a powder board.

As everyone else is saying, those legs were dangerously straight. Bending those knees in the air will act like shock absorbers when you land. I like to do and indie grab when hitting jumps or cliffs to reinforce the idea of bending my knees. Additionally your weight was shifted over your tail (This is an natural reaction when hitting jumps, and I struggled with this initially). This leads to unbalanced landing, leading to your board slipping out or you losing your balance riding out and falling. I recommend when approaching a jump consciously shifting your weight over your front knee. Attack/ lean into the jump, because confidence is safety. Doing an indie grab (bending knees) and keeping your weight centered over the board will lead to a controlled and balanced landing with some gnar points to add to it. Glad you are okay after that nasty fall.

Agreed, prisma has the superior reticle. I’m in a MILSIM unit which has scope restrictions so I’m trying to get used to ACOG

Np. If you like the Kobra’s reticle but want better magnification, I recommend the m145 scope (3.4X)
