Hey Duke I too have to had some troubles learning as well but you know what they say practice makes perfect. lucky me almost everytime Ive gone out to my local hill ive bumped into someone with an alpine board who has given me pointers on some do's and dont's the norm has helped in a huge way and i too thought I was making some progress in my skills going up but I actually had a bad fall last week going down hitting a rut in the hill and banging my head off the hill but everything is good now going out next weekend will keep you update

  15. yeah i had checked out the video before but the article i was not aware of until @teach mentioned it
  16. @Duke i changed my back leg was more uncomfortable then anything else as well the couple of spills that i took made my knees that much more sore yeah i start reading the norm and the norm 2 good luck to you as well
  17. thanks guys for the help i have seen the videos on youtube but did not know about the norm will be checking it out as for my stance i had changed it 2 times while i was at the hill so i guess its trial and error until i get it right
  18. Hey guys so i hit up MSLM last nite for some nite boarding for the first time with a fairly experienced alpine boarder friend and well i had alot of falls and slips and well my buddy gave me some pointers but i do need much more help in my technique as well as other things so couple of things to throw out there i had a hard time trying carve going from right to left the board kept taking me right as well my friend was tell me to keep my upper board straight and keep my hands out front or to the side but lots of falls as well we adjusted the bindings couple of times but towards the end of the time i had little carves going but instead using my knees and keeping good posture i was using the freestyle meaning i was using my whole body with my hips to turn the board for left to right and right to left but the big thing for me that stands out was that when i would descend down the hill and start to try to crave the board would naturally take me right and had a had time try to carve left using proper techniques well thats all i can think of off the time of my head any advice recommendations would be great btw i haven't been this sore in ages but great time out Thanks Ali
