Snowboarding; Bend Your Ankles!
February 1st, 2008Ankles are meant to be bent. Stiff ankles mean no balance. When strapped into your board, any sudden extension of both legs will probably be followed by a falling movement to heelside and a prompt landing on your buns. Avoid being a “Jack in the Box” by keeping your ankles flexed and only extending them enough to apply edging and steering movements of the board.
