    @brodouglas – Back. The harder you lean on your back foot, the sharper your turn is going to be. You’ll know right away when you’re putting enough weight on your back foot because you’ll shoot up the face with ease and your top turn is going to have a lot of power. Make sure you stay low and centered also. You don’t want to lean over the rail when you turn, you just want to apply pressure by shifting your weight.
