Snowboarding are you suppose to??

Question

when hittin a kicker or a jump are u suppose to be on an edge or flat caus i have trouble keeping balance through out the jump

Answer 1

hit it flat, not on an edge and make sure u have enough speed.....are you bending your knees enough? i used to hardly bend my knees and had terrible balance

Answer 2

land flat, landing on edge can cause a super wipeout. just make sure that your pointing down hill, landing flat with your board sideways is not good.  if that happens you will probably die.  you will hit your face and die imediatly the next day.  but yea just land flat and have a good season.

Answer 3

When you are doing a straight air you hit it totally flat.  This is a problem for some riders as they are not comfortable straight running at high speed.  To get yourself ready, start practicing flat running on steeper terrain concentrating on keeping your shoulders aligned with your hips knees and board.  When you can do this with comfort, you can take it back to the jumps.
