One of the ones that drives me crazy is the notion that you "steer with the back foot like a rudder" absolutely horrible form!

To add to Sedetion`s list; using the upper body to initiate turns...seeing people riding with their upper body whirling like a dirvish. Need to ride with a quiet upper body by controling the board from the waist down with flexed ankles, knees and hips.

The dreaded "gorilla stance" those people who bomb the hill and because they have`nt learned good control, are hunched way over dragging their hands in the snow almost.

Riding counter rotated all the time (facing forward with their upper body twisted as opposed to turning just their head)
