  • @lifepolicy
    @lifepolicy Před 3 lety +90

    As a beginner what really helped me was boarding on the edge. I couldn't link my turns that well when I was sliding and it was always awkward. But when I realized I can use the flex of the board to enter the turn with my front using the downhill edge while my back foot was still using the uphill edge it was basically one of the simplest things I ever did. From there it was very easy to link my turns and ride on the edge. Add a little slide here and there to slow speed and good to go.

    I can’t thank you enough for this video and others. I had my first snowboard day at age 40. I did have some skateboarding experience. Even though some things felt unnatural at first I followed all the steps. I had one of the best days of my life. I went down more experienced slopes after 2 hours of practicing these techniques. I saw such pretty views and was comfortable going fast and controlling speed with frontside and backside. I rarely fell and when I did it was slow enough didn’t hurt. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge and enjoying snowboarding better than I could have imagined.

    @avengingcarma5525 Před rokem +5

    I think as a beginning snowboarder it is important to clarify...Toe and heel blade, toe blade is used only when facing uphill...and heel blade is only used facing down hill, that is an important distinction and can be really confusing when referencing heel/ toe blade...why you have to flip position etc. It is really an important concept that is easily overlooked😉 especially on turns and connecting turns, and the reason for a snowboard that can be used in both directions, that doesn't necessarily have a nose or a tail....

    Hi! I just wanted to let you know that this video really helped me. I was trying snowboard for the first time (my ski level is decent) I went 30 min on the school track to practice it and after that, I went on the top. Obviously, I spent the day falling and adjusting, but after 3h-4h, I was almost doing slaloms and barely fall. The only tip I accepted to hear from my friend was : bend your knees more. I thought I had to bend them that much only at higher speed but nope, helped me transtition from heels to toes and vice versa.
    Looking foward to my second day of snowboard!

    @bluepool6969 Před měsícem

    The most helpful tip I ever got was from a lift op. He said pinch your knees together on a toe turn and push them out (like doing a squat) on a heel turn. Not technically perfect, but it got me up and running and I was able to make adjustments from there.

  • @coolbrotherf127
    @coolbrotherf127 Před rokem +4

    One tip I have, is don't pull your heels up in your boots when doing a toe side turn. That'll cause you to balance all your weight onto your toes and at higher speeds that's a very wobbly position to be. Balancing on your toes is hard enough just standing up and it's not any easier on a snowboard. Make sure to just bend your knees a bit more and lean into the bindings with your feet flat against the board. That'll make sure you say stable in your athletic stance and keep your center of balance controlled during the turn.
