Lesson 5
Basic stance on a snowboard:
It is essential that we have a balanced, action-ready stance when we are riding our snowboard.
A strong stance provides muscular and skeletal efficiency, maximizes movement options within the directions and optimizes board performance.
A neutral aligned stance is supported by the skeleton and frees the muscle groups to deal with the ever-changing requirements of turning and remaining balanced in variable terrain.
Poor stance will affect your performance and this must be dealt with before we start exploring intermediate and advanced riding.
The Basic Stance consists of:
- Even weight on Both feet
- Ankles, Knees and hip relaxed and slightly flexed
- Hips and shoulders in alignment with the snowboard
- Straight back and arms relaxed by your side
- Head looking to where you want to go.
- Maintain this stance to stay balanced while riding!
