Are your bindings really perfectly mounted for you? Are your boards right for the type of riding you are going for? Play around with your equipment and keep evolving. If you don’t feel that you are stable when riding quickly, or when hitting bigger jumps, you could consider buying a stiffer board, or a longer and wider board.

Or, if you have a solid all-mountain snowboard but you would like to improve your jibbing and park riding, then look at a softer more park-focused board. It takes pro snowboarders years to workout what kind of snowboard setup works best, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
