Lesson 2
Goal:
The goal of the skidded traverse is to travel across the slope from one point to another, always leading with the correct front foot (no switch as with the floating leaf).
It will also introduce balance over the uphill edge while moving across the fall line, holding this position for a longer period of time than in the floating leaf.
How:IMAGE OVERVIEW HEELS
Step 1 :Begin on your Heel edge, steering and travelling across the hill. (Same as the falling leaf)
Step 2 :Once moving, reduce the twist and focus on even pressure (tilt) under both feet.
Step 3 :Keep your basic stance in the direction of travel to keep the snowboard traversing across the slope smooth (Looking to where you want to go).
Step 4 :To stop at the other side, bring the snowboard back across the fall line or slightly look and point up the slope while increasing tilt.
