Replying to What is the key to riding fakie .....
I'm just starting (like my 4th time out) and i'm hitting kinked boxes fine, landing is solid and then when i come off fakie i of course am moving a little faster (duh) but i'm not sure how to ride fakie w/o going into a extended carve. I know you can just spin back forward, but i even have problems doing that. Used to rollerblade (aggresive inline) so it's the same idea but not sure on the technique, fucking buggin the hell out of me. I try riding fakie closer to the base of the mountain, but it just isn't workin.
Do you lean more towards the base of the mountain (towards your back) or do you lean more towards your tips. Fuck even if someone could tell me how to spin back around to the forward position after landing that would be great. I'm switching back from snowboarding for 10 years and all my friends do that, so i'm on my own here........ obi wan kanobi you're my only hope!
