As an instructor of snowboarding now (where the snowflake is) I feel as though my entire perception of snowboarding has changed. Before I would just worry about the results of my actions meaning that I would just focus on if I could do a certain trick or get down a certain slope. Now, I not only look at the results, but I more fully focus on my actual body mechanics. By thinking of a snowboard as nothing more than a tool, I am able to understand how I can manipulate this tool into performing the specific tasks that I want. The edges on a snowboard are the keys to making the snowboard turn, slide, stop, and also edges are used to promote spinning in tricks. The secrete to using edges is to understand that all edges are controlled by the amount of pressure a person enforces upon them.
