Word of Caution!
If you are going downhill with any speed, I really caution you about trying to do it flat based or by using my twisted technique. This is for relatively low speeds in the flats. When pointing it down a hill, you really still want to be solidly on edge. An edge catch at high speed can cause some nasty injuries. They happen so suddenly and with such force, that the rider usually does not have time to ready themselves for the fall and roll with it. It slams you hard and I have seen broken tailbones, back, collar bones, and head trauma from high speed edge catches. Please, don`t chance it; stay solidly on your edge when at high speed. Maintain a low edge angle so that instead of turning, you gradually drift to the side. As you you get to the side of your desired track, make a smooth, even positive edge change using both feet simultaneously and shifting your upper body weight over the edge you are going to and you will then be positively on the new edge, drifting back the other way. Your actual time flat based and vulnerablw will be less than 1 second.
