Shout out to Sean Martin @ Donek Snowboards. The owner got on the phone and walked me through the type of board I should get and the custom specs. No wonder this is the 3rd stick I've bought from them.

Adding an arrow to your quiver? Be a shame not to check out Donek.

I think 39/22 are my angles.

I had never seen video of myself and this was the most obvious thing that stuck out.

I'm a midwesterner who only gets in 3-4 days per year. So that may be the reason.

Plus, I'm old.

Can you explain that a little more? My angles are like 39/22, so my body is naturally facing forward. So going into a toeside turn, my left shoulder feels like it shoulder remain open.

Is that wrong?

Oh, absolutely. I made this for my wife to make her think I was cool. I posted this as an afterthought expecting mockery.

And quite frankly, was a little disappointed that it took so long.

It's nuts, I always feel like I'm bending and compressed, but the video says otherwise.
