Question

When going off a snowboard jump do you lean back or forward while in the air and in takeoff?

Answer 1

Stay comfortable, but try not to lean, just stay remotely level with the ground. And when your in the air, try to stay "compact" i guess you could say. Just do grabs, or go in that position, because you don't want lose your balance in the air.

Answer 2

you dont do either. just stay natural on the jump and made sure your body does't tense up because then it really hurts when you fall.

Answer 3

keep your weight on your front foot and "feel' the jump, but remember "when in doubt, weight on the front foot". so your landing will be more forward, and relax, let your neas bend when you land... just don't let them bend all the way.
