How to

Step by step

  1. Enter a carved turn on your toe (toe-side) edge on a medium slope.

    Before you tip the board, build a steady, moderate-or-higher speed where the edge bites firmly into the snow. Too slow and there is no rebound to hold you up, so you fall to the inside.

  2. In the first half of the turn, send your upper body and hips (pelvis) toward the inside of the turn.

    Keep your eyes on the exit of the turn, where you want to go. Looking down stands the upper body up and the edge stops gripping.

  3. Bend your front-leg knee deeply and drop the kneecap toward the snow.

    At the same time tilt your pelvis hard to the inside and press the board through the ball of your front foot, from the big-toe side toward the little-toe side, not through the heel.

  4. Keep your back leg fairly straight, supporting yourself on the tail-side edge.

    Load about 70 percent on the front foot and 30 on the back; gathering weight on the front foot lets you drop the front knee low.

  5. Set the edge to 60 to 80 degrees so it digs in deeply and trust that rebound, and your body ends up low to the inside as a result.

    Throw your body in first and there is nothing to hold you up, so you fall inside.

  6. In the second half, the flexed board loads and springs back.

    Do not fight it: extend the front leg, ride the rebound up, and send your pelvis to the other side to link into the next turn.

Tips

Getting your body low is the result, not the goal. Reach for it and you fall inside, so focus on building edge angle and pressure and let the low body position come from that. It is mainly done on the toe side.

COMMON MISTAKE

Front knee will not reach the snow → tight hips and ankles, so the pelvis is not folding to the inside. Keep stretching the hips before riding, and rather than forcing the knee down, deepen the pelvic tilt gradually.
