this is my 11th year riding...

i have a GNU 144. im 5'7, 120lbs. flow FL_11 bindings, forum team boots. and i ride goofy.

my best advice is to stay on the edges of the board as much as you can.. if you let it go flat, you double your chance of catching an edge, and you'll end up on your face or your back in no time. also, a lot depends on your rear foot. thats what does most of the work. keep that in mind, and have fun!
