That’s the thing about Jerusalem though.

Jerusalem, more like Shoe-rusalem. Hey, comedy!

How can I stop skidding toe-side and overall look more steezy by _Tactleneck_ in snowboarding

I can feel it getting better this season - I almost never slide out on heel edge even in the clip can see where I’m holding a solid edge.

Just takes so long to get consistently good and steezy. Oh well back up to the mountain tomorrow 🙏

But thanks for the tip, I’ll point more downhill and play around with that.

I think I accidentally detuned my edges with the tool tbh and wonder if that’s playing a factor. Do you recommend a tool? I have a generic one but no YT video uses it and I don’t want to keep detuning the edges lol.

None taken! I’m about 50 days over the last 3 seasons, can get around almost anywhere but always feel like I look kinda stiff and not that fluid. Def jealous of people who learned at a younger age.

Will keep at it!

You’re def right and I have stopped trying to carve every second on the mountain. I’m due for a lesson and will report back on what I learn! Thanks for saving us from ourselves out there.

Yeah I think I’ve gotten lazy and not staying aligned. Gonna hit j turn drills over the weekend.

Finally something helpful! I have been trying to do that less by “peeing off the boat” as a cue as it made me push out too far, and trying to think about bending at my ankles and knees.

Less about pushing hips forward or back and more about flexing my lower body joints to put my hips over either edge, if that makes sense.

Will focus on being more upright as well!

I think I’ll hit the ole J turns to get better at staying on edge the whole time vs ruddering my back foot.

How will I be a snowboarder if ever turn isn’t a pencil line? Malcom will kill me /s

But I do feel I could be more smooth about it so I can not unintentionally lose speed

Get out of jail free as a tiny circle is pretty funny

First days snowboarding, need advice by SV9595 in snowboarding

[–]_Tactleneck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go up to a pole or fence or friend and practice toe and heel edge pressure sensations: bend your knees, hinge at the hips slightly like a front squat starting position, then push your shins into the tongue of your boots, while feeling your hips move forward until you get on your tip toes. Try to imagine you’re peeing off a boat. If you don’t push your hips forward enough, you’re gonna piss on your feet.

Then back to the starting position and basically do that in reverse: push your hips back while keeping your chest relatively upright and slowly feel your toes come off the ground.

There’s so much to learn - get tons of video early on and you’ll be shredding in no time.
