This is a sample from our full tutorials the one hour long shredder beginner pack that's
now available at stompittutorials.com
Here in Boxes 1 I will teach you how to do 5050`s then late box slide before we do a
proper box slide using counter rotation over a bigger box then lastly how to use rotation
on to do a box slide to fakie.
C If this is the first time you are going to try a 5050 remember it is hardly any different
from riding straight down a slope but different from a slope remember to keep both your skis
completely flat against the box and when you are on the box.
Make sure your skis are pointing straight down the box you don't want to twist or turn
anything on it so what you should do i basically nothing good luck you will stomp it soon!
Before trying a proper box slide you should practise standing still in the snow.
Stand with one hand in front of you and one behind and when you jump you twist the legs
the other way then twist back after you have tried that try it while riding down a slope,
do a power slide or skidding like this.
This movement is called counter rotation that is when you twist your upper body one way
and the legs the other it is a great technique for box slides and shifties.
Remember a flat box is a lot more slippery than the slope so be careful and stand absolutely straigh.
In the in run you should have the same arm in front of you as the foot you plan
to slide with first. Ride straight onto the box and wait a little bit before you start
twisting, you start twisting about half way over it then just twist back again at the
end of the box.
no matter which way you are riding remember
that when you are one a box when you are twisted around in the sliding position make sure that
you are standing straight above the box lean a little bit forwards and this is going to
help you stay on the box and not fall over.
so it is time to slide the entire box sideways
one arm in front of your body and one behind like normal make sure you pop of the jump
before you start rotating.
It is important then land sideways, you can stand a little bit wider and you can have
the downhill ski a little bit on an edge.
Once you have done this on a small box and you feel mentally ready to try a bigger one
there is one major thing you should think about.
When you land on the box
make sure you keep the arms on the side just like before and you keep them there and still
all the way until the end it´s first when you pop off you twist around to straight.
Common mistakes, often when people twist around on the box they have the feet to close together
and then crash make sure you have them shoulder width apart or maybe even wider and if you
move around your arms while you are on the box you are likely to not be able to get of
to straight so keep the arms still!
Twist keep the arms keep em there twist back.
Box slide to fakie before you try this on a box take your skis off and try spinning
when you spin you wind up some rotation as you crouch down and when you reached far enough
you release the rotation make sure that you pop off the ground before you start spinning
as you approach the jump wind up the rotation and keep an eye on the box and pop of the
ground before you start spinning and keep looking at the end of the box when you are
on the box look towards the landing and keep the arms on the side this helps you slow down
the rotation so you can stay on the box and pop off the end and ride out switch.
Doing it the other way wind up some rotation and keep your eyes on the box pop of the ground
before you start spinning keep looking at the end of it keep the eyes on the landing
and the arms on the side to slow down the rotation Stomp It!
