Hey guys, I'm looking for some input on body position and form for carving down the slopes. I've checked out some videos of other s-boarders and most seem to keep their feet close together. When I'm going down a slope and carving I tend to have my feet apart to balance myself. I'll dig hard with the lower leg and then push around with the upper leg to turn. I also tend to keep myself bent over to keep my center of gravity lower. However, I see other keeping their bodies fairly straight and just leaning over. Is it all just personal preference, or is there definitely a right and wrong way to do it?
I'm wondering if part of my style stems from my background in sportbike track riding. I'm used to attacking corners hanging off my bike to keep the COG low. Another part of it is that I'm a 6'3" rider on SnowJam 90's. (EMP's are ordered though) I feel as though the boards lack the appropriate leverage to balance my height.
Any input would be appreciated.
