Back to start; learning some basics :)

Well now, I'm getting serious. Want to learn basic ground tricks, get decent at jumping and most of all, good at switch. There's half a world of snowboarding I yet have no clue/skillz and I'm sure, it'll help to get better at body coordination n help to become better n more confident at riding BC... soooo it's abt time :).
Day 1; Step 1: learn to ride duck.
K, this was kind of a surprise... yesterday, I set the most suitable board I have in the quiver - Ride Farah 153, mid-stiff directional camrock - up with duck angles 15/-9, and was taken aback that it was kind of a non brainer to ride with these angles. Riding steeps, moguls, carves, shooting down outruns... the angle change didn't bother. Of course, I tend to turn the shoulders forward sometimes, and don't have the finetuning-miniadjustment feeling in the hind leg yet with the new open hip position, but I'm truly surprised how comfy n natural it felt, not hindering at all. Well then: check! :jumping1:
Step 2: learn to ride switch
Oh my... tried some turns with the new angles set up on the most suitable red run I found (them blues are low on the mtn = brown n grass a.t.m.), so no mellow wide run available... and hardly managed to do J turns. Funny, how a run, which seems pretty flat n easy if riding regular suddenly seems toooo steep when turning the board :D. Been afraid of turning into the blind, overrotating, overcompensating, ruddering, hanging in the backseat... all the nice mistakes a noob does :laugh:. And the run was heavily chopped and crowded, I've been a living obstacle, so I skipped further attempts...
