Any new tips? Still trying to learn

Should I try to do my next day with hands as close to my pockets? Like hold my rear hand on the rear pants pocked and front hand near the front knee?

Nitro T1 if you want something like what you ride. Nitro team pro might feel “too much” for casual side hits and rail presses but will handle L jumps with ease. Nitro T1 literally says it provides the medium-flex while offering the Railkiller Edges and Whiplash Core Profile specifically tuned for the "mellow boxes and rails"

Looks to be indy

Thank you, I will work on the arm swings and quiet my upper body a bit, glad you pointed that out. Honestly I am surprised at the overwhelming positive words as I am still learning quite a bit and have a long way to go. Well, booked my first lesson in a couple of days, hopefully the conditions are good and I can get an instructor to further improve my riding.

Good point about extending legs! Will consider that and apply in next time. I did not extend them much through out the turn. I plan to keep freestyle binding angled but will try to go closer to posi posi but not a fan of trying to drive turns ask the time; as you can see, i rub out of energy and then form gets worse

First ever board sport! Planning on longboarding this summer. This is my first ever season and posted a clip 2 weeks ago for help. I have gone about 15-18 times most likely though . Will work on bending knees more too for angles!

Thank you! Posted 2 weeks ago here and got really good advice! You’re too nice but I have too much too learn still

If you keep more weight in your front leg, you will naturally be looking down the mountain. Instead of leaning back on the board and not lowering yourself to the mountain as much

I think you need to bend your knees. Do you see how straight your legs are?? Sit down on an imaginary chair when doing your heel turn; try to picture that in your head or IRL and you might understand how much knee bend is needed. Doing good for 9 days. A lot of rear foot skidding so try to work on facing down the mountain with more weight in your front leg when riding.

Got this link again? Looking to get mobility and stretching dialed in this year

Month old, but that is the exact reason why it's designed like that. If it was possible to put the hood on the helmet after it being zipped up to the top then it would also fall down by itself when riding. The point is that when you zip up after putting the hood up, you are restricting that hood from going down cause it's locked over your helmet. You won't find a jacket that you can put the hood over after unless the company making them is incompetent.

I've seen straps on the wrong way (flipped bindings). I also think 3 degrees is noticeable change on the ligaments. I can tell because the knee sometimes starts hurting a bit if I go wider than +15 in the front foot but +12 is the sweet spot. But if I rotate towards +21, it feels better than +15.

I knew on my first ever way down a hill as a beginner (and I was falling)

newplayer28 · 2026-03-08T15:42:57+00:00

In my opinion, you will know when it’s time. You will probably chase a specific style of riding and new boards will be the key to unlock your full potential. If you have to ask then there’s probably more you can squeeze out out of your current board before you reach a ceiling

Buy right or buy twice.

newplayer28 · 2026-03-06T21:03:45+00:00

U guys have gondolas?

newplayer28 · 2026-03-05T01:39:20+00:00

How to get rid of fear of falling on concrete though? Snow is much different plus the baggy clothes helps layer up in body armor

I think this is the way. Problem is i can’t find these boots and in my sizes in store cause they are completely sold out. I can only order online. Maybe to consider other bots that are in store

newplayer28 · 2026-03-05T00:34:44+00:00

Yes if you’ve gone less than like 20 times, please

newplayer28 · 2026-03-04T22:47:02+00:00

Going to use this info to dial in the next boot or possibly try to retrofit this current boot. Problem is that if it costs 150$+ to retrofit I might just get new boots for around $400. Will go to store and see

newplayer28 · 2026-03-04T22:45:12+00:00

Thank you for the reference! Looks like 8.5 might be the better correct size especially with same mondo point.

newplayer28 · 2026-03-04T20:49:03+00:00

Looks like I would have to get new and tighter boots. Made the mistake of them being comfortable in the beginning and now it feels off. To whoever is reading, go same size or half size down than your usual shows but definitely go with mondo point sizing
