 Posted: Jul 25, 2005 7:44 am Post subject: back foot dragging |
 |
|
Upon watching video of my riding , I always find something that needs to be corrected. The biggest thing right now is that alot of times I leave the wake and my back foot is dragging behind me , alot lower than my front. In otherwords, my board is not flat above the water. I get flat a couple of times , but I cant seem to figure out what I am doing differently. Should I load my front foot more and lean into the jump? Or just tell myself to pick my foot up? Is there a technique to this one? peace.

Put more weight on your front foot.

Yes.
How are you going to "pick up" your rear foot as your going off the wake? Doing that is just going to screw up your edge. Just ride with your weight about 50/50. Make sure that you've got your bindings on, 1 hole in 2 hole in exc. so long as the front and rear bindings are the same holes in and you don't have your stance preferenced in the back.

I have the same problem sometimes, it works great for big nose grabs and back rolls but thats about it.

DRAGON88, I always even out when I go for tail grabs , I guess its because I force my foot up. Thanks for the advice though , I'm gonna try to keep my weight 50/50 tomorrow when I'm out and see what happens.
