lonbordin Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) We should all be on skwals... . . . . . N=1, bias, etc., etc. Note: I cannot fathom riding a skwal, must try it someday! I have a much read copy of The Inner Glide on my bookshelf. Edited March 2, 2014 by lonbordin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 So this is right in one sense: that it's more efficient to use your arms to balance rather than your pelvis/torso on a slackline. But I don't think this translates to snowboarding so easily. Now I'm not the best physics guy, but I think there are more forces at play when you're "balancing" on a snowboard edge than when you're balancing on a slackline. MAYBE if you were going down the fall line balanced on a board that had a completely straight edge (that actually sounds amazing now that I think about it haha), but don't the g-forces/centripetal forces assist in balancing? or something? Also, your edge isn't freely moving, it's stuck in a little groove it's making. So I feel like edge groove + g-forces complicated this a lot. Good balance and core training? Hell yes. I'm a huge fan of slacklines. Justification for choosing duck vs. directional? I think I need more evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
