Guest sandarapark Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 okay, i just started ridding with hardboots this season ( total of 4 days so far). sometimes i could do that hand-skimming-on the slope-thing. however most of the time i change edges i go air born (if moving fast) which i find somewaht un comfortable but i could land it properly and start to carve a new turn. okay so here is what i do; at the start of a turn, i distribute my weight equaly on both my feet. then after that i find it necessary for me to move my weight on the back foot because if not, i run the risk of washing out (especialy on the steep icy slopes) whenever i don't do it. then whenever it's time to start a new turn, i shift ny body forward to distribute my weight evenly on both my feet (this is olso the time i go airborne). then again with the weight shifted on the back foot and so on. anything wrong here? how do i prevent my self from getting airborne?

D-Sub Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 1st, do NOT try to "skim your hand." Usually that makes you bend at the waist and reach for the snow. look at lots of photos of good positioning. no one reaching for the snow 2nd...air between turns is COOL! Get used to it and rock the style! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
