Turning
Toeside: To do a toeside turn start with your weight centered and
slowly shift it to your front foot. Now gradualy push the weight to your
toes and keep your knees bent. You should be turning so that you're facing
the top of the hill. To stop turning slowly release the pressure from
your toes and center your weight.
Heelside: To do a heelside turn start with your weight centered
and slowly shift it to your front foot. Now gradualy push the weight to
your heels and keep your knees bent. You should be turning so that you're
look ing down the hill. To stop turning slowly release the pressure
from your heels and center your weight.
Stoping
Heelside: To do a heelside stop you must first do a 90 degree
heelside turn. Instead of releasing the pressure from your heels at the
end of your turn you should keep the pressure on your heels. The rest
is the same as a turn just center your weight but remember to keep the
pressure on your heels. This will allow you to make a gradual clean stop.

Lift Riding
Getting On: To get on a lift you must first take your back foot
out of your bindings. Now you push yourself forward with your back foot
and glide to the spot in the lift line where the atendent tells
you to stop. Now keep your board strait but turn your but so that when
the chair hits the back of your legs you can sit down. After you sit down
wait to turn your board sideways untill you're fully lifted into the
air.
Getting Off: To get off a lift just turn your board so that it
is strait and wait for your board to hit the ground. When it hits the ground
place your back foot so that it is on the middle of your board when it
touches the ground. As soon as your board is completely on the ground
stand up and push off the chair. Now all you have to do is stop and put
your back foot in the binding and ride down the hill.
Jumping
Basic Air: To do a basic air aproach the jump at moderate speed.
When the nose of your board reaches the lip or the top of the ramp try
to spring off your tail and suck your knees up to your chest. At this
point you should be floating in the air you will feel weightless. Don't
be alamed when this happens. To land straiten your legs a little and
wait for your board to hit the ground. When it hits the ground let your
knees bend to surve as shock absorbers.
