STEP 1: First, find a gentle slope with as little human traffic as possible. Maintain your balance while standing. You can spread your arms a little bit to help you stay in upright position. As soon as you are ready and the coast is clear, place your back foot just in front of the back Snowboard Binding. |

STEP 2: Lean forward so you can start moving downhill. Point your toes down to move forward and shift your weight backward to slow down or stop. Always look at where you want to go and not at your Snowboard. |

Is it me or are the bindings supposed to be angled like they are in the animation. Mine are at 90 deg and not sure if I should adjust them

Re:bindings....my bindings are straight across the board...finding it really hard to skate/glide etc but managing to get downhill ok, do you think the bindings should be at an angle instead of straight across the board? Need to master this as I''m using the lifts soon!!
Monday 18th January 2010 at 12:24:27 PM
Yeah, this is probably one of the most basic skills that I still need to master ):
