1X,. I have been riding my Nervana Balance for three seasons, every time I find something new about how it likes to ride. First, make sure you warm up your legs and lower body, get loose. If you are going to be riding on perfect conditions, don't worry about anything else here, just go ride.
The board wants to be on edge. The higher the better. It will make very tight turns or long turns depending on your input. I have found that if you initiate the turn, down weight, high angle you can throttle your turn. When I over power the board, it doesn't like it. Go to your favorite run and practice , break it down into parts. When your body is comfortable, that board will follow what you want it to do.
