10 Tips that Will Make You a Better Snowboarder

Straight legs on a snowboard is a recipe for gravity-fed disaster. Even if you think you’re bending them, bend them some more. This simple movement lowers your centre of gravity, allows you to absorb the bumps, and gain more control over your riding.

Gretchen Bleiler, American halfpipe snowboarder and Olympic silver medalist said, “For some reason, we always think we’re bending our knees more than we are. But if you saw a photo of what you’re actually doing, it’s not it at all. Pretend like you’re sitting on a chair to gauge how bent your knees should be.”
