Salska, I totally have this problem as well. I find that I cannot seem to get my front foot to go straight down the hill, I always seems to come to an almost stop. I have only been out three times, and a friend has gotten me to go down side to side on healside and then toe side, then try to go down switching from toe side to heal side…For me as I said earlier I fakie ( I believe the term is) until about 1/2 way down the hill until I finally can manover the front of my board to face down…Please help as this is completely frustrating the crap out of me… 😡 lolIn time I know I will get it but any tips would be awesome!!Thank you 😀
I too am a snowboarding newbie 😀 I just wanted to mention that I found it almost impossible to “pop” up from the sitting position as well. I tried the rolling over which worked great, but I found it a little hard to shimmy my way to the edge. What worked for me was bringing my butt really close to the board and just leaning forward onto my knees then getting up from my knees…I read someone earlier mentioning getting up from their knees in the beginning too… sooo much easier!!! I feel like I must not have worked very hard my first time as I really wasn't in that much pain the day after 🙁 but man did my shins ever burn during!!!!Wishing you all a great season!! Im loving all the snow 😀
