  • Do not turn with your shoulders! Do not rotate your upper body! Your shoulders and hips should always be in line with the board. If you rotate your upper body you will skid the board instead of carving. Use pressure in the front foot (heel or toe, as appropriate) to initiate a turn and finish on the corresponding back heel or toe ready to then move to the front foot again for the next turn.

  • thx that helped a lot

  • Lol he just said not to use your legs and to use your shoulders this is horrible please don't do this snowboarding is 95% lower-body and weight distribution.

  • @Lex1love curve your body backwards as you go on your toes, it helps to counter balance everything. well at least for me it does C:
