    These people make me want to burn my crowbars. Luckily nobody has them set up like mine that I’ve seen.

    These people can’t even snowboard, yet they try to teach people.

    You have to know what your doing before you can teach anyone anything, that;s the problem.

    If you can’t teach it right don’t teach it

    Totaly depends on what the jump is.

    I never look at my stance while i am “jumping”.

    But there are kickers where i lean more to the back!.

    But then again i correct myself in the air :) .
    If you do more like a bigair always stay strait on the board.

    But there is only one good way! And that is doeing it 20times wrong ;) .

    They’re both hard but in different ways. For me personally, snowboarding is a lot easier and waaay more fun. But it prob depends on the person.

    No, you cant pop off your tail without leanig back. He said stay centred in the air, so he was about right I think

    On the way up to the kicker “Just kinda lean back a little bit”…yup, a sure fire way to get unstable through the air and break your coccix!!!! Sorry mate, but I’ve never heard this before. For a basic no-frills jump, lean slightly toward the nose of your board to counter the position the kicker’s goin to put you in when you leave the top of it. Anyone else think this is out-there?
