Lean In.
リーンイン
ターン方向に体を傾ける基本動作
How to
Step by stepStart down a medium slope at a slow, steady speed that won't stall you out.
If you carry too much speed, leaning the body in feels scary, so begin where you stay in full control.
Before entering the turn, press the board with the whole sole of both feet (from the balls of the feet to the heels) and stack your hips directly over the board.
Lengthen your spine and look toward where the turn is heading (the exit), not down at the snow.
As the turn begins, keep your head, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles aligned in one straight line and lean your whole body to the inside of the turn.
Don't bend just at the hips or shoulders, pivot from the ankles and commit the whole body inward.
The more you lean in, the more the board tips up on its edge and bites the snow.
On toeside turns the pressure sits on the toe (ball-of-foot) side of both feet, on heelside turns it sits on the heel side of both feet. Keep the load nearly even between the front and back foot rather than favoring one.
You stay up instead of falling because the force throwing you outward and the weight of your leaned-in body balance each other.
So match how deep you lean to your speed and arc size, lean a little for a shallow edge, lean more to carve a deep arc.
To switch turns, bring the body back over the board, rise up to release the pressure, then commit the whole body the same way to the other side.
Send your eyes ahead to the next exit first.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logKeeping a straight line from head to ankles matters because bending anywhere (hips or shoulders) lets your balance collapse with the lean and bleeds off the weight you want on the edge. Tipping in like one solid pole puts your full body weight straight onto the edge.
Hips fold into a 'V' shape → caused by trying to push only the upper body inside, so you break at the waist. Pivot from the ankles and tip the whole body, head to toes, as one line. Checking your posture from the side in a mirror or on video makes it easy to fix.
