Answer 1

Hill B I hope you kid bails and breaks his legs, maybe then he will find it difficult LEARNING again.

Come out from your *** you obnoxious trash

Answer 2

try turning when you're on dry land. that helps a lot. trying to teach yourself to snowboard and try to turn is the trickiest part not mentioning staying up on the board itself.

Answer 3

my wife recently learned to board (3rd season) and i spent the time and gave her all the knowlege i had, this got her every where she wanted to be but she was still having probs turning as with you.. another boarder told her that if she pointed the direction she wanted to go that she would go there.. by pointing she turned her shoulders which turned her hips, which turned her board.  Now she could already control her self on toe side and on heel side but she couldnt get the whole carving thing to go... after using this she was able to roll from edge to edge and commit to the carve.  if you get to much speed throw a plow in there and start over.

so just point

Answer 4

hahaha...hill b got reported and deleted....what  a d-bag....

Answer 5

You need to commit fully to the turn.  Find a run you're confident on and practice practice practice.  Make sure you don't engage the edge of your board before you cross the fall line and don't fall just because you think the turn might not work.  Be confident and stick with the turn!!

Consider taking a lesson to get some quick tips and a skills tune up.

Answer 6

hill b i feel sorry for your kid, too bad they have to have a parent that seems to be so dream breaking.

anyways to answer the question:

first of all dont give up, because you will get it.

it will just take practice on the balance of it all

i am where you are, i am good but not great. so i dont know too much.

lean in and kick ur back foot backwards while rotating around ur front foot this is easier to do if u kick frontside quick then when ur coming back keep going it helps
