in this segment we're going to talk about steering with your feet. A real
0:16
focus here is steering with your front foot. I talked about twist (another L1 segment) so steering
0:22
with your front foot, independent foot steering that's a lot of the twist board
0:28
performance that we talked about so the front foot is really the big focus there
0:33
especially throughout the first two-thirds of your turn so if I were to
0:39
break my C-turn into thirds
0:44
the beginning here and then the middle and then the last third that is really
0:52
important for you to keep putting weight on that front foot all the way through
0:57
out the turn and then at the end you can start putting a little bit more weight
1:03
on the back foot but it's really important to initiate the the turn by
1:08
Steering with your front foot and putting a lot of weight on that front foot. So the
1:13
board is connected to your foot via binding/the strap there so it's best to
1:20
start making movements to steer the board from the bottom up
1:24
Now if Teako were to start throwing her shoulders around - That's called chucking your meat and
1:32
you're really out of alignment off-balance to try to steer the board so
1:36
it's a lot safer and more efficient if you start from the bottom so the first
1:44
body movement will be to bend your ankle and then your knee and then you hip and
1:52
then if you do use of your upper body so from the bottom up. So to make a toeside
1:57
movement you would do just what she is doing right here so bend your knees
2:02
and push/extend hips come into it and then to do a hillside movement let's see you
2:07
squat down and open in that way. So you see that? lower body movements. If you
2:15
start from the bottom up you're going to get a lot more efficiency out of your
2:19
riding.
2:21
We're going to talk about bending your knees and dropping your shoulder
2:26
your front shoulder which helps bend your knees and it really helps out with
2:32
steering so as we're riding out here a lot of people want to lean back because
2:39
it's human nature when she start gaining speed. If I lean back the opposite way
2:43
I'm going that makes me feel better but actually it's one of the worst things
2:48
you can be doing because we need to be steering with your front foot in & if all your
2:52
weights in the back it's really hard to steer. A good analogy would be throw your
2:58
car in reverse where normally you steer with your front wheels and then once you
3:02
throw it in reverse and you steer with your back wheels your cars a lot more
3:07
wiggly it's out of control a bit more than if you're still with the front so
3:12
it's really important to keep weight on that front foot and a good practice
3:17
drill or a tip would be to actually drop my front shoulder down because
3:22
that makes my my body bend that way and it puts more weight on my front foot and
3:28
keeps me aligned with the hill
