Sean Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 If you read all these posts, you'll never get to ride.Keep it simple. You've got some really good tips here and some that are a bit complex. I think you know which is which. Rob, I don't know if you remember me, but if you are the same person I am thinking of, we met at the CASI supercourse (rode the lift with you and Stu I believe) at Banff some years ago- was doing my SB alpine II coach with Gagnon and Hugill. Still the best alpine course I have ever done...Fancy coming down Aspen way for the SES? I know you would be very well received, especially with your coaching background.

Rob Stevens Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I do remember you. It was you who turned me on to this site. Don't know about SES... doing alot of snowmobiling lately and will be sledding right around then (with the noboard, of course) You know you're always welcome up here, too.

JJFluff Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Turning Rotate the upper body into a turn, creating pressure down through your waist,through the lead leg, onto effective edge. Close your upperbody to initiate toeside turns Open your upperbody to initiate heelside turns Athletic stance, slight bend in the knees. Keep body linerally aligned, body weight centered over snowboard Compress into the turn, pressure forward. Drive your momentum in the direction the board is traveling, not downhill. Look in the direction the board is traveling, not downhill. Decompress out of the turn. That's my take. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
