"One of the most important things in snowboarding is your balance. You need to be able to control your balance and know where you want to put it. If you want all your balance on your heel or on your toes or on your nose or where ever you want your balance to be. You've got to know how to put it there. How to; that's how you get down the mountain. Doing carves and falling leaves and everything is all centered around balance and where you can put the most pressure on your snowboard to make your turns. But, balance is key. How to get balance on your snowboard is just your feet have to be centered with your shoulders. If you have good control in your knees and you can feel where your center is; that's how you can tell where your balance in the bottom of your board is. Because if you have a; if you're leaning too much on your toes you're going to be on your toe edge. If you're leaning too much on your heels you're going to be on your heel edge. What balance does the best is if you can just figure that middle weight and be perfectly centered. Keeping your back and your shoulders always in a squared up position is always going to help your balance no matter if you're falling over or if you're trying to get up. You just need to focus on being strong and knowing that you need to equal it out and you'll be good, good to go."
