Hi,

I'm an intermediate snowboarder and I've only just begun to go at
highspeeds for entire runs down the mountain. The problem I have is that my
back leg seems to strain alot while carving high speeds, and by the time I
get 1/2 down a run I have to stop and rest my legs before going again... Is
this normal? Is there something wrong with my carving technique or do I
sipmly need to strengthen my legs? I'm riding goofy +15 right -3 left.. Any
suggestions?

Alex


what about the highback lean? I bet thats the prob....I just changed
the spacing between the 2 bindings on my board and my back leg was
super fatigued giong down runs...i thought i had moved the back
binding too far back but thought to change the angle of the forward
lean on the back binding...solved my problem..phew!
