Lesson 18
Lesson 5
Developing Edged Turns:
Goal:
To Use various tasks and drills to improve the movements in edged turns.
How:
1) Flasher Turns
Try to flash the base of your snowboard up the hill as you change edges. This encourages a quicker and more aggressive edge change.
2) Grab your Edge
Use grab-the-edge carving exercise to improve vertical range of movement on the heel-side edge. Once moving, reach down and grab the toe edge with the back hand (indy grab), focusing on flexing through the knees so the back shoulder becomes level (or close to level) with the back knee.
DO NOT GET YOUR HAND STUCK, just try to grab the edge and hold it until you are ready to change onto your Toe edge.
Where:
Wide, green or blue groomed trails are most suitable for these tasks.
Exercise:
Practice these exercises until you feel comfortable holding a Carved edge
