Hi Guys,
Just back from Morzine and had a great time. Everything is starting to come together in my riding, I can go down red runs at a pretty good speed with good control. On blues, we were finding little things to jump off and also found a big pile of stored snow that made a fantastic ramp with soft landings on the other side.
It's givin me inspiration to learn more now I am back at home. I think my biggest problem is I am a wakeboarder and so already know how to do a lot of tricks, but the way they are performed is different. I land with too much weight on my back foot, so the tail hits down first and sometimes makes the landing difficult. Others I have seen, land their board on the correct angle of the slope, so much more forward.
So I was thinking perhaps its time to do some lessons. There is a dry slope in Ipswich, which is the nearest thing, then next would be Hemel, which is around 100 miles away. Could someone let me know the best way to go about taking my riding to the next level?
Thanks
Andy |

| If you can stretch to it, talk to Onyx about a coaching session at Hemel. If you've got some wakeboarding experience with some of the tricks you're trying Baden should be able to help you translate that onto your snowboard, I know he's been wakeboarding so should have an idea of where the similarities lie and where you need to focus to pull those tricks off on the snow. |

Hi
You should check out www.definitioncamps.com
I know Sam and Gav go wakeboarding loads and with Sam being a pro snowboarder and Gav a British team coach I am sure they can get you to that next level in snowboarding. |
