Now we've moved out to the snow and we're going to talk about putting one foot in the board binding and moving that foot around so that you get a feel for what the board feels like on the snow. So what you're going to do, is you're going to strap your front foot in, you're going to attach your leash. Very important safety tip there. And then I want you to just move the board around on the snow. I'm also going to explain to you about the fun box. I'm going to show you where the fun box is in relation to the board and you need to keep your outside foot that is not in the binding in that fun box. The reason I say that is, I'll show you. I'll demonstrate when we go. Okay, the fun box is an area in front of your binding and it's also an area behind your binding, in between the bindings. Keep your feet inside of the fun box. If you get outside of the fun box, you're probably most likely going to fall. If you keep the foot in the fun box, then you can move around without falling, fairly easily."
