Are you an advanced snowboarder? - Part 1 #snowboarding

[leecm]

My shin muscles were burning just watching you do that heel traverse.

[dilleypicle]

Hell nah toe traverses are way more painful

[samsondietrich]

Pro tip is definitely traversing on your switch toe edge instead of heel

[Crumpledskin]

Heel traversing has always been easier for me for some reason. It’s when I go toe edge for too long my shins get the burn. My calves do fine.

[bbtube]

Adding a small amount of forward lean on the bindings can dramatically help that heel side traverse too.

[asheradkins]

the better way to tell if your an advanced snowboarder is you switch your stance so your on your toes

Ok so today i learned i was already advanced on my second day.
It was the most comfortable (apart from the burn) and stable way for me to learn proper balance on a snowboard. Took me 7 days to finally be confident in going down the slope with just the front.

[arttema]

Advanced?😂 That's one of the essentials

[abroamg]

Just finished my 4th day, and heel traverse feels easier than toe traverse for me. It probably is just general muscle development in certain areas not related to snowboarding in particular. I'd say more dificult is being able to go with speed, especially over bumps or narrow paths

[Tdrizgn]

The length he did that is equivalent to a 1 minute plank but in your legs

[matthewroesger]

Toe side is a burner. Heel side is a cake walk

[erbesnard]

You can also use the flex of your snowboard and apply torsion with both feet to have a straight edge. On your backside edge, front foot with more angle than your back foot. There you really maximise the efficiency of the edge and apply maximal pressure all along your edge.

[zeleneokno]

Most important thing about heel traverse is a bs/fs 180 to get on toe edge so your legs not gonna die

[aidenz]

Interesting, I’ve always found heel side to be much easier

[errorrath]

If this makes me an expert after riding for a month than others must be fucking masters

I could do the traverse on toes and heels before my first S turn lol. Literally like day 2. Guess I was advances back then, with catching an edge everytime I came into turn 😂

[matthewparfitt]

I have the same pants after snowboarding for 4 days 😅 they’re awesome!!

[waylondunham]

Oh my god I did not realize that was for pro but when I first started I did this all the time not on purpose but my calf muscles were always burning

[connorjones]

How is being able to ride basically a cat track with ether foot forward “Advance” snowboarding? If that’s your limit skill wise you are below intermediate

Going to learn how to snow board tommorow
