Balanced Body Position
Author: Jeremy Sheridan - Snowboard Instructor (CASI 2)
The balanced body position is a stable and responsive stance for snowboarding; it allows for quick reaction to terrain changes.
Key Points
- Even weight on both feet.
- Slightly bent at your ankles, knees, and hips.
- Body aligned directly over your snowboard.
- Back straight and shoulders aligned over your snowboard. Don’t bend forward at the waist.
- Arms by your side for balance and aligned over your snowboard.
- Head up and looking in the direction of travel.
If you have any questions, ask one of our qualified snowboard instructors on the Boardworld Snowboarding Forums.
