Point The Slope - Snowboarding Forum

Hey I was wondering anybody could tell me how to point the slope, for example, when going on a slope almost flat i would like to know how to keep going with the board neither on the toe side or the heel side without falling, and also how to go straight on a black. thanks

If you're asking how to make it through a flat, the best way is to just keep a slight edge and don't make any turns because that will just cost you speed. Once you get more comfortable on a board, you'll be able to flat base it when needed.

If you aren't comfortable with conquering flats, there's no need to worry about bombing blacks just yet!
