Know that you're comfortable adding a traverse into your turns and exploring more of the mountain. Here, we're going to try and test our range of motion on the board and get really mobile through these lower joints, which we're eventually going to use to help add some speed control and performance into our snowboarding. So as you start to traverse across the slope on your tool site, I want you to lean into the hill a little bit and really flex through the knees and ankles. So go into your smallest and up to your tallest about three or four times and the Traverse, and on the toe side, you really want to feel that shin and the tongue of the boot. So let that tongue support you when you're trying to bend down and on your heel, say traverse, lean into the mountain slightly and really start to bend through those knees and ankles.

Keep your toes pulled up into the roof of the boot and feel your calf and the back of the boot. So pulling those tools that will help you engage your ankles to get that extra edge grip. And again really think Test your range of motion, see how low you can get and how tall you can get without breaking at the waist. So really focus on keeping the posture neutral up top and using the Lord joints to get that bend to happen for you. As you're bending through the lower joints, you're going to be building pressure underneath your feet and energy in the snowboard. As you stand up, you're going to be releasing that energy and pressure underneath your feet.

As you bend down through the lower joints, that age is going to be gripping the snow you're going to be increasing the edge angle, so that distance between the base of the snowboard and the snow. As you stand up, you're going to be releasing the edge from the snow and flattening off that edge angle. So you'll see as you bend down the edge grips and as you stand up the edge slips and releases to let the snowboard Glade
