Lesson 1
Flexion on a snowboard
We use flexion on our snowboards in every aspect of our riding. learn to master flexion and extension with timing and you will be in the top 20% of snowboarders on the mountain. Think of flexion like car suspension, enabelling you to travel smooth and with out bumpy jolts, your flexion will help give you balance and smooth control while riding.
Goal:
One way we control Edge pressure on our snowboard is through Vertical movements.
Flexion:
This refers to the bending one or more of the joints (legs, ankles, knees and hip)
How:
Step 1 :This is where we bend (Flex) down through the Ankles, knees and hips to apply pressure to the board’s edge, by applying pressure to the snowboard edge, we are able to control (Pressure) radius and steering of the turn, it also helps with speed control and power.
Step 2 : By flexing down into your snowboard you are essentially applying pressure onto your snowboard.
Remember this!
