@livewntr: Tripods are a fun and easy flatland move to add to your bag of tricks! For this variation of the tripod, we’ll be turning toeside and flexing over the nose of the snowboard. Most directional snowboards have softer noses, and as a result, this tripod can be easier to learn. 1. Warm up by moving over the nose and tail of your snowboard. Hit up our videos on nose presses and tail presses for some drills to start with. 2. On flat ground, flex your front ankle, knee and hip, and lean over the nose of your snowboard. Put your hands on either side of the snowboard and tighten your core like you’re doing a pushup while you lift the tail off the snow. The balance gets easier when you’re moving, but trying this on flat ground will give you an idea of the arm and core strength necessary to hold a tripod. 3. On some gentle, groomed terrain, make a toeside turn all the way back up the hill. Just as you’re about to stop, go into the tripod just like you practiced. As gravity takes hold, allow the snowboard to start to slide down the hill, dragging your hands in the snow. 4. To exit the tripod, pull your rear knee back towards your chest, bringing the toe edge back into contact with the snow. Straighten out the board and stand up to keep moving. 5. Once you’re comfortable with the movement of getting into the tripod, you can make the turn smaller and smaller until you’re turning and popping up into the tripod. Explore flex and extension of your legs to change where your tripod is sliding! One last pro-tip: Note how I tuck my chin so that I can still look downhill while in the tripod! There are many variations of tripods, as well as ways to get in and out of tripods. Try them over your tail, or try spins or butters into or out of the tripod to increase your repertoire!
