Question

I try to do boxes sideways on skis (boardslide) but my feet always shoot out from under me. What should I do?

Answer 1

try harder

Answer 2

develop more counter to your body position so you balance over your boots.

Answer 3

I had this same exact problem, and i believe its really just nerves.. If your nervous before you do the box/rail, you tend to lean back or away from it, I don't exactly know why this is. What you have to do is have confidence in yourself, and lean really far forward, i garuntee that you won't fall forward, instead you will get the perfect amount of balance..

Answer 4

shift weight forward duh

Answer 5

Well your leaning to far back and keeping your feet to close together. You need to keep you feet a little more than shoulder width apart and keep a center balance.
