Why Backside Shifty Is Harder Than Frontside
Backside shifties are harder than frontside. Here’s why and how to make them feel natural.
In this live coaching session, Nev works with Tristan on learning backside shifties for the first time on snow. We break down:
• Why backside feels more awkward
• The correct anticipated shoulder position
• Flat base takeoff
• How to shifty entirely in the air
• Neutral vs anticipated setup
• Why more airtime makes it easier
If you already have frontside shifties, this is your next step.
Remember:
Flat base → shifty in the air → flat base landing.
