Snowboard tips - Backside Board Slide (Keeping Your Board Flat)

Have you ever gone for a backside board slide, and slid out on your heels? I've got two tips for you to keep your snowboard flat. The First one is to bend your knees. By keeping your knees bent it puts your weight on the center of your board. Straight legs puts your weight over your heels edge, and causes you to slide out. The second tip is to keep your hands out in front of you. Your body want to naturally lean back, so by putting your hands out front it encourages you to stay forward. Try these two tips and I guarantee you'll ride out your next board slide!
