I just went on my 8th snowboard trip on Monday. it was the first time in 2 years and before that it was a 3 year gap. So a brief history: went 5 tmies between 98-2003, twice in 2008, and last monday.
Before this last trip, I got slammed big time when i attempted to go toe side and link some turns. I ended up facing uphill and my heelside edge digging into the snow. YARD SALE!
Anyways, my wife went also and it was her very first time. She was doing well and even though she went down hard a few times, she loved it.
My question is: I seem to always to the heel side falling leaf down the hill and get nervous about switching to a toe side because of the slams. I feel like an idiot always staying heelside and want to break the habit. Any tips?
