How to slide on goofy runners

Sliding on goofy runners is a fun and exciting way to add some extra flair to your snowboarding experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced snowboarder, sliding on goofy runners is a great way to challenge yourself and improve your skills. In this blog post, I will share with you my tips and tricks for sliding on goofy runners, so you can impress your friends on the slopes.

Basic Technique

Before you can start sliding on goofy runners, you need to master the basic technique. Here are the steps to follow:

• Find a flat, open area with plenty of room to practice.

• Strap into your board with your front foot in a regular stance and your back foot in a goofy stance.

• Start riding straight and pick up a little bit of speed.

• Shift your weight towards your back foot and begin to turn your board 90 degrees.

• As your board begins to turn, lift your front foot off the ground and twist your body to face downhill.

• Keep your back foot pressed down and your weight centered over the board.

• As you slide, use your back foot to control the speed and direction of the slide.

• To end the slide, gently shift your weight forward and bring your board back to a straight position.

Advanced Maneuvers

Once you have mastered the basic technique, you can start practicing more advanced maneuvers. Here are some of my favorite tricks for sliding on goofy runners:

180 Slide

To do a 180 slide, start by performing a regular slide. As you start to come out of the slide, use your back foot to pivot your board 180 degrees, so you are now facing uphill. This is a great way to add some extra style to your slide.

360 Slide

A 360 slide is similar to a 180 slide, but instead of pivoting your board 180 degrees, you pivot it a full 360 degrees. This trick requires a lot of control and practice, but once you master it, it's a great way to impress your friends.

Shifty

A shifty is a trick where you shift your weight and twist your body in the air, before landing back on the ground. To do a shifty while sliding on goofy runners, start by performing a regular slide. As you start to come out of the slide, twist your body 180 degrees and shift your weight over your back foot. Then, twist your body back to the original position and bring your board back to a straight position.

Tips for Success

Here are some additional tips to help you succeed at sliding on goofy runners:

• Practice on a regular basis. The more you practice, the better you will get.

• Start on a small slope and work your way up to larger slopes as you improve.

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, including a helmet and wrist guards.

• Keep your weight centered over your board and your back foot pressed down to maintain control.

• Stay relaxed and have fun! Snowboarding is all about enjoying the ride.
