Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help, I'm new to snowboarding and just wanted to know how you Ride Drag Lift with a snowboard.
I've searched the web and can't seem to find any info on it, any help or points in the right directions would be great.
Thanks in advance

This sounds like an aeronautical term. It may be refering to how you turn from toe side to heal side. Where did you hear this?

Its not so bad, HONEST Stand facing up the slope wait for J to cum round grab it + tuck it inside your left leg if you ride reg or inside your right if your riding goofy. You,ll ave bout 5-10secs to do this before the bungie tensions and your on your way up to the summit. Hold with both hands and distribute your weight evenly over the board on your way up. Keep tryin, your nail it in no time. Weve all been there. Good Luck!!!!

I usually find holding the drag with one hand( left hand if you are regular, right if you are goofy) and putting other hand out behind me like a rudder keeps me in line while riding the drag lifts and keeps my body at same angle as my board, which in turn keeps my board straight. Just keep trying, we have all had a red face falling off in front of a large queue, it will just click one day.

they are easy only if there is no dips and swivles in the snow... which there usually are. just try your best to stay balanced and have your body parallel to the board. i can hold my own on a snowboard, but i still have trouble riding those things. if i dont fall down in the beginning, i will fall halfway up..
