Bit late of a reply haha, but what this guy doesn't mention is front foot weight, really put your weight over your front foot and the board will come round :)

[guitarmantyrel]

what size is your board dude

thanks for the explanation!

last time i tried to do it off the top of my head and i fell over straight away...:L

@7533 usally when i snowobaord i kick my foot out to stop me from going so fast and its almost justlike stop for a second and retry and try not to fall

[7533]

when i goe from heel to toe and vice versa my board wants to snap me into side ways position that gains way too much speed to quick. and its hard to get out of that postion for some reason. i never had this problem with the rental gear, anyone know why my board is responding like that?

show some tricks kid

[JBICK666]

@eric11600 try, applying more pressure on your front toe, so the back of the board turns quicker. for me, i'm goofy, so when i go down heel to toe, i lean mor forwards, adding more pressure on my leading toe, and with your other leg, bring your back foot round.
