"In this segment, we're a little bit more comfortable with our Falling Leafs and getting on and off the chair lift. So, I'm going to take it to the next level by getting a little aggressive. All you want to do is just get comfortable with your board and the speed that your board allows you to have. Just take your Falling Leaf all the way down from the top of the chair lift to the bottom. Try and figure it out a little bit on the way. Make sure your weight is over your front foot. Go ahead and bring it to a stop. And, then keep going. Bring it a stop. And, change it up. Go the other way as well, same way. Bring it to a stop. Look down the hill and bring it to a stop. So, that's how you Falling Leaf more aggressively. You want to just be able to maneuver your board out of any obstacles that the mountain may throw at you. And, you'll start to get a little more comfortable with how your board moves the more you do it. You want to try it both heelside and toeside. And, be sure you?re comfortable on both sides before you try these sort of turns."
