HOW TO DO IT

Different-Foot Edge Rehearsal

Distinguish whole-board tilt from torsional action near one binding.

Preparation and setting

Level secured board with balance support if needed; movement small and comfortable.

Exercise sequence

  1. Establish modest same-edge action with both legs.
  2. Keep trailing action steady enough to notice a difference.
  3. Change leading-leg action a little and observe the leading-end response.
  4. Restore similar engagement at both feet.
  5. Repeat on the other edge; avoid forced knee twisting or shoulder impulse.

Transfer

Use a smaller version in D17, then assess whether the garland entry and return are predictable.

Errors addressed

Both legs always act identically; Abrupt whole-body lurch; Twist confused with nose/tail bend.

Success check

Rider can describe and demonstrate a small end-to-end difference without losing support.

Simplify when needed

Compare actions off-board or use an observer; do not demand visible deformation from stiff equipment.
