The Skidded traverse on a snowboard
We need to practice the skidded traverse to so we get comfortable riding in the direction of travel with our natural stance, whether that be goofy or natural
This isn’t a hard exercise,
You should already know how to stop and start a slide
You should know how to steer our board using pressure and edge control
All we are essentially doing is getting comfortable with travelling in the direction we want to go with our leading foot.
