hey guys kevin here from
snowboardprocamp
grew up here on Mount Hood and riding in
the iconic snake run in this video I've
got three tips to help you ride through
the snake run with more confidence and
more control the first tip guys is to
spray some snow around each Bank to
scrub your speed as you ride through
it's very easy to pick up a lot of speed
so you got to find somewhere where you
can cut some of that speed out and the
perfect spot is as you go around the
bank just think about spraying so snow
to the bank it'll cut your speed just
enough and then you can stay in control
the second tip guys is to aggressively
steer yourself through those banks so as
you're coming into it I like to think
about the first thing is dropping my
fresh shoulder into it for the toe turn
and also dropping my front knee so you
steer around that toe turn nice and
smooth
and then for the heel turn you're
opening up that front shoulder and
turning that front knee out to the right
so you can aggressively steer quickly
through those banks
the third tip is you really want to use
your knees to absorb all the bumps that
come along with riding through the snake
I'm the snake run is naturally formed so
there's lots of uneven parts and bumps
so you really want to think about using
your knees to absorb everything to keep
your board and contact with the snow and
that will keep you from losing your
balance and getting into control cool
guys so I hope these three tips will
help you with drying through the snake
run or around any banks at your local
mountain if you have any questions or
tips of your own leave them down in the
comments have fun out there riding guys
be safe and I'll see you in the next
video
