Why Grabbing is Hurting Your Straight Airs

[@rhysross3712]

These are getting me hyped for next year, great work! Do you have any routines that you use during the off season that you practice at home on a rug/mat? Would love to get a headstart on things!

[@SnowboardingExplained]

You bet! Gonna make some videos on this for snowboard addiction soon!

Interesting that you don't recommend opening up coming into a shifty. Pretty sure Nev's old tutorials explicitly recommend this.

[@SnowboardingExplained]

Ya he did. I’m my opinion you never ever want to compromise your takeoff. When it can make the shifty easier what really helps your shiftys is getting a good pop. Cheating a trick hurts your form in the long run so best to focus on doing it right. Because it becomes much easier from that point onwards:)

I don't want to talk down on Ned, but his advice didn't work for me. Just my style or maybe what I was doing wrong in combination with his advice didn't work. But the moment I focused on doing everything in steps and focusing on the take off I stopped getting hurt 😂

[@SnowboardingExplained]

Good man! That’s definitely the way to do it🙌🏻

Hello Taevis! This might seem random but it would help a lot if you wore less baggy snowboard clothing for your demonstrations. Mainly to better display your hips opening and extending your knees. I like to wear baggy stuff as well but when demonstrating, it would really help to show and over exaggerating what’s relevant. Love your videos and tips. Keep up the good work! This is purely meant to be productive criticism. Cheers

Could see that, but I need the baggy haha. It honestly would only be noticeable in very tight pants, but I couldn’t deal with the hate and feel 😂

[@cheesesandwich1033]

@@SnowboardingExplained don’t hate on the Shaun White tight pants :)

[@SnowboardingExplained]

Haha maybe I’ll make a only fans we’re I do all the tricks nude for the most accurate demonstrations 😂

You need to do a seatbelt to keep yourself safe

[@SnowboardingExplained]
