I actually like your old videos better than your new ones. I find the music was better too. It was more "upbeat exercise music" is seems and makes me like to watch it over and over again, though you took it out in this vid in favor of a light tune in the background. The ones you made with Big Dan and Matt Majerski seemed easier to follow. Are you planning on doing more brand new material, like maybe inverted tricks or perhaps some freeriding moguls or glades?

@rasmasyean We've got a video on inverted tricks in the subscribers area on our website now! We are also in the process of making some more intermediate riding content. Thanks for the input, it's always good to get feedback on the vids.

For some reason I'm able to spin 360 easier than 180 off of park jumps. Often when I try 180 I freeze up and only spin 90, especially going front side. I can easily hop up and 180 when carving on the slopes, but in the park I have trouble. I've watched your other vids and feel like I understand well the concept of creating a platform, but I'm still having issues smoothly initiating the spin. Any suggestions?

[snowboardaddiction]

@bbad681 Practice your switch riding on some groomers a bit. It will make it feel much more natural to land with your board going backwards. After you're good and confident, make sure you line your shoulders up with the fall line when you land. You can do this by bringing your back hand forward as you rotate and pointing straight down the hill with your (now) leading hand, you're shoulders will follow and so will the rest of your body ensuring that you finish the 180. Good luck!

@snowboardaddiction do a video of yourself completing the cinnamon challenge.

@rasmasyean Good call on making sure you're protected from any injuries that will slow your progression. It's also good to learn new tricks on small jumps you're comfortable with and progressively move up to bigger features.

[rasmasyean]

@TheBongloard I find that learning these often end me on my butt. Thus in hindsight, getting a buttpad shorts and or other protection will help with progression because taking a slam reduces your left-over energy quite a bit. And you have to use lots because you're jumping with and swinging a big axe plank of wood attached to you. Wrist guards are good too if you fall on your hands, and an armor jacket if you fall on your chest/back a lot.

Thanks mine are so steezy now :D

[schulhasser11]

I thougt Backsides are easier but your right i have to try fronside!!!

[snowboardaddiction]

@TheBongloard It really very's from rider to rider. If you are already competent riding your board switch you might get it really quickly! If you're not, focus on learning how to link a couple switch turns, after you have that dialled give the 180's a go, you can probably land one in an afternoon. Have fun!
