Mounting your binding?
I have uploaded a new piece of content under the "Classroom" Tab: course name "Snowboard Equipment". There are instructions on how to mount your bindings to the board. Take a look if you are also planning to get a new board and binding for the next season. If your binding model is different from the one used to demo inside the course, and want to ask how to adjust it, feel free to make a post, send your questions and I'll answer your doubts!

Board Control Oriented Teaching by Andy
What is board control oriented teaching approach? - It is about giving instructions to the body and transfer the muscle inputs to the board movement, achieving command over the board's Roll/Yaw/Pitch - The primary focus is to use the 3 lower body joints(hips,knees,ankles) to give the necessary inputs to control the board's Edging/Pressuring/Steering. - The secondary focus is the alignment of the upper body joints(shoulders,arms,line of sight) to achieve better balance and flow of riding.

Toeside common problem #1 Leaning too much
When beginners have their back facing downhill, the fear of falling backwards creates the natural instinct to lean the upper body uphill. Hence resulting in the posture showed in the before picture. - Before: Upper body leaning too far uphill causes imbalance as the body weight is not stacked vertically over the toe-edge. (Student leans on the bar to stay balanced) - After: Shoulders to Knee vertical to the ground, body weight stacked over toe-edge. Nice hovering posture on toeside.

Toeside common problem #1 Leaning too much
Heelside common problem #2 Overflexion in knees
This student was able to keep the back relatively upright but still struggles to hover without touching the bar. - The problem is at the knee joint: in the before picture, the student was squatting too low and theres a lot of flexion in the knees, this result is reduced pressure on the calves and hence board not edging enough. - After: I simply instructed the student to straighten the knees slightly, immediately the calves press against the boot more and hence edging the board more. Successfully hovering without touching the bar
