Can you talk about the opposite? Like looking around on a back 3, front 5, etc
Instead of a blind landing it's like a blind spot. You look back(kind of under your body at this point) at 180 to spot it initially and then it comes around to you.
Thx u
Question… so if you end up knuckling the jump on a 180 or FS 360 (slow rotations)… how screwed are you? Since you are looking at the knuckle and expecting to rotate lol.
Edit: I guess if you knuckle on a rotation you’re just kind of screwed anyways lol
Very! You can save it sometimes and adjust. But you really want to avoid knuckling. The good news is when doing this you will see it coming at least!
Is the idea of looking at a knuckle more to help the posture? Not all scenarios have a knuckle to focus on. Like side hits, and airbag training. (I still suck at rotations off a jump, but flat & tramp, np )
The spot is what makes knuckles and weird shaped features harder to spin.
You still want to spot at a point in front of you.
Sorta paint a line in the snow and pretend that is the buckle and do it on that.
Sometimes you need to wait for that imaginary line to come into view.
Like if you ollie over a roller and back 1 you will need to keep your eyes forward then when you go over the bump you then pick your spot.
You can also use the blind landing then shift your view forward if you killed your monument correctly.
Might make a video on this!
@@SnowboardingExplained thanks, that helps me visualise. 👍 sure all video tips are gems! You have a really good way of explaining things and back it up with some sick style. A possible concern with focusing on a spot/knuckle is leaning back too much. I’ll try to get the on some airbags over the summer to practice spotting. Currently getting on the tramp board almost every weekend.
Let me know what snowboarding concept I should tackle next!
Torsional twist of the board when on rails and jibs?
@@Jay-bi4brthat’s a spicy one, honestly not sure if there’s any reason you’d want to twist your board on a rail.
That might be a lack of knowledge on my part, but it increases the chance of catching an edge.
I mostly use it to hike a straight edge well spinning backside.
Maintaining your trick library, avoiding repetition, and factors that make you decide in the moment what trick to throw
miller flips 😶
How about Pretzels (e.g., backboard noseslide pretzel)
Hey Taevis, do you have any tips for picking a spot when going off rollers/side hits outside of the park where you don't have a knuckle to stare at? I assume it changes based off how fast/big you're going, but are you generally trying to eye out a spot X feet before where you think you're going to land (where X increases as your speed increases)?
Also, I definitely appreciate the multiple videos on the blind landings you've done so far, I've been able to pull at least one new piece of information from each iteration. Thank you for all the effort you're putting into this stuff!
Thanks for the support!

@@SnowboardingExplained The points about keeping your eyes forwards until after you're over and then imagining a line should help a lot. I think I may have a habit of staring directly underneath the roller/at the back of the side hit immediately after launching since it usually feels like I spun the 180 too early and would end up with my eyes facing too far uphill at the point of landing. Excited to try this out once winter is back. Thank you for the knowledge!
@@ieatants888happy I could help! Hope it works for ya:)
you guys going down to Timberline at all this summer?
Sadly not!
