John Gilmour Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Another thing...I see this at expression sessions all the time..... Don't roll from edge to edge... Look at where you want to end up- figure out the edge angle needed to get there- and "CLICK IT" and hold it until you get there. rolling your edge just invites skidding.... it's so "Lame-o junior snowboard school pussy like"...don't fricking do it. * Look and shoot your edge angle- like quick draw. And Hack it into the snow- set your edge- be the boss of the snow...and once it is set- that's when you flow. if you don't set it (with authority) , you don't have "squat" (literally you couldn't possibly be low). What's the worst thing that could happen by setting your edge with authority- uhhh you could turn quicker. And noooo you won't fall. in fact you'll be much less likely to fall- particularly in mixed conditions. *(there did I make rolling your edge slowly seem unappealing and wimpy? That was the point.)

Rob Stevens Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 So much noise. Your terrain is flat. Any move done with force, quickness, or strength at your ability level will result in more of the same skidding and falling. Please just stand on your board. Without using any techniques above. Just roll from edge to edge. Feel pressure edge to edge, fore and aft under your feet... Not anywhere else in your body. The rest of you is as unmoving as you can make yourself. The reality is that your board would carve itself, if it weren't for you committing those posture-crimes on top of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
