This article explains how to snowboard on toeside.
Steps
-
1Once you have strapped in, flip over onto your stomach to stand up. It's easier to get up and you will already be toeside.
-
2Find your balance point, you should have most of your weight on your toes.Advertisement
-
3Slowly drop your heels so that you start moving downhill, never let your heels touch the ground or you will catch an edge. Do a few runs slowly sliding down straight.
-
4Try to shift your weight over each foot to move in that direction, riding a few runs where you just traverse back and forth.
-
5Let your dominant foot lead and point directly down the hill, riding for a short distance, and then turn (looking back up the hill) to slow or stop yourself.
-
6When going from straight to a stop, don't panic if it does not happen right away. As long as your weight is over your front foot and you're able to turn your top half, your legs and board should eventually follow. Just give yourself time and space.
-
7Once you have your toeside turns and stops down, start linking with your heelside edge.
