Hi there,
So i'm dusting off my snowblades and headding out to the terrain park today, i'm trying to learn how to grind today so i'll be spending most of my day on my bum probably :) anyway, my question is about just general riding, when i'm going down a slope and i'm not on my edges, my left board seems to skate around quite a lot, i know it's hard to give advice without seeing it but i think it's because i have my weight over the back of my boards. i Guess i should be neutral, like in the middle?

Thanks :)

Any time I am going any faster than a coast off the lift, I am on edge for precisely that reason. So, I guess the solution is to be on edge?

I find it hard to be flat on both boards when riding so I do a slight edge when riding down groomers. I do skate even when I'm going fast because it looks cool too.

thanks for the advice all, i've started using my edges more now and it's made a mega difference. tried skating at high speeds on the flat and that works like a charm. :)
