    Tommie, how about landing on a flat base and landing on and edge. something i am interested in knowing.

    • @andersonmyhr8263
      @andersonmyhr8263 Před 3 lety +42

      I’d say anytime you spin you wanna land on edge to stop your momentum from keeping you spinning. The more you spin the more momentum your gonna have. However if your going straight air, u don’t need to land on edge

      IMO you're rarely ever on a flat base when riding, and when you are, it's usually for the fraction of time during edge-to-edge transitions. It's just much more stable to be on an edge most of the time, but the trick is to be as subtle with it as possible (and not lean into edges aggressively).
      That said, I think landing subtly on an edge will give you the most control with maintaining direction and speed, and with sketchy landings, help mitigate a wash out. If at worst you're about to land perpendicular to the slope (i.e., eat shit), then you're obviously gonna want a bit more pressure on the edge that's closest to (or "facing up") the slope.

      Did you spin? This is why both snowboarders and skateboarders alike spin on high airs, it gives you more control over your aerial movement. So if you sent it straight vs even spinning a 180 or 360 that might be why

  • @willdykema
    @willdykema Před 3 lety

    I hope you get a chance to cover this in full nerdy detail but how do you land? I am thinking particularly for myself about landing switch but I figure it all works both ways so I’m asking more generally how to land. I can ride the whole mountain, do pow butters, carve, and all sorts of stuff switch. I can take off switch really well too, but the one thing I can never get right is landing switch. I always end up folding at the waste or over rotating or just generally look loose when landing switch.

    In the video you said, when the ground is lifting you up use pop; otherwise use ollie.
    Does that mean usually you only use pop? Because without the ground lifting you, what is the fun of jumping?

  • @leonwillett4645
    @leonwillett4645 Před rokem

    QUESTION: on park jumps, it seems like on any kind of straight air you lean forward just a tiny bit as you take off, to create a parabola where you angle yourself downwards towards the landing (to avoid landing in the back seat). But on spinning tricks, you fully commit to the upward angle of the take off, and are often at right angles to the landing as you fly towards the landing. Then you use your just your legs to execute what looks like a massively-back-seat landing, but use the friction of the edge of your snowboard upon landing to correct your upper body position as you ride away from touchdown. Essentially you are using the landing CARVE and edge switch to put your upper body upright, but you landed hugely in the back seat. I'm guessing all of this is subconscious, but I feel like nobody is talking about this, and the upward slant of the takeoff (and downward slant of the landing) really messes with my head. To be clear, the backseat landings after (perhaps corked) spinning tricks look awesome, I am just trying to understand the physics. Learning forward slightly while taking off for a spinning trick, in order to angle your upper body ready for the eventual landing seems uncomfortable, so I think we need to acknowledge that we are actually landing hugely in the back seat and then using a post landing carve and edge switch to correct our center of mass.

    LOL.. I've been snowboarding since 17 skating since 15. I'm 30 and untill now i thought ollies were the only way. I love riding to death yet I started to avoid rails/jumps/side features when every time i hit them something unexpectedly went wrong. I haven't "fell" since the last time i tried to hit a rail @ 20. I always rode with skaters (One friend never had the same attitude towards it after hitting a jump with an ollie) and I always considered "popping" a half-hearted attempt at getting in the air, not proper technique. This rewired my brain and i wanna go floating.

      @willdykema Před 3 lety +1

      As soon as you can link turns and comfortable traverse the run. Start ollying all the time and popping off of tiny side hits or moguls. Spin flat on the ground. It will actually help you progress riding in general. But the big thing is think about the consequence. If you’re not on park jumps or metal rails and you’re not going super fast you’re fairly safe to play around on your board. Then when all of the basic maneuvers feel easy you can start going into the park. Ride on👍
