yes, your quads will probably get tired quicker, and you are not as balanced as if you are centered, so you can fall easier

good ski form is to have forward pressure on your boots, your carving will be better and more consistant...backseat leads to shin splints and weak turns.

to carve a really hard turn, or ski very agressivly you have to stay out of the backseat.

My style is the opposite. I throw myself down the fall line and have almost all my weight on the front of my skis. My friend however rides back seat all the time. It looks funny, but it doesn't seem to affect his skiing.

I heard Tanner is riding in the back seat now and that it's the new steeze. I'm practicing right now.

put pressure on the shins of you boot.

If you have a 1380 SAT and a 86.71 GPA... what does everyone say? Not good job, not 'O wow, thats awesome!' No, they say things like 'You are an underachiever'

thats funny ive never had shinbang. is it from the pressure coming from leaning back which puts more pressure on the shin? or is that the calf?

Riding in the backseat sets you up for lots of problems. Since your center of mass is now centered over your heel peices, tehre's not enough pressure on the ski in front of your toe peices. What happens then is that the ski can't bite properly into the snow .. .which means less control. When you make a turn, does your down hill ski tip start to track away downhill .. your skiis come apart? Keep your knees and shoulders over your toe peices. Be centered.

Jaykyu - thank you for spelling that out, I really didn't want to type it.

You actually go faster by not being in the backseat. By staying forward you can get your skis to ''run'' on the snow more effectively and you can (if you know how) accelerate through every turn.

Now I think there is a time and a place for everything though, I love cruising around on my tails (gets some great looks when you pass people with your tips 6+ inches in the air), but it is very easy to lose control of the skis.

Technically, there is absolutely no advantage to being on the tails of your skis (I'm not trying to start an arguement here either, so please don't think I am). And for those of you that think that you need to be back a little in powder, you are just hurting yourself, it is muscularly more strenuous, you have less control, and basically leaning back in pow is the beginers philosophy. Your best bet is to remain centered (balance) and keep your feet more under your body, using more turning of your feet to turn, and less angulation.

Basically, BACKSEAT=BAD!!!!!

i pretty much have to lean back in powder.... east coast pow plus the fact that my boards aren't floaty at all makes for hell if you're forward of centered. i took a big fall when i aired from a groomer to a powder side trail. landed centered, and was immideately screwed.

but, if you have the right skis for the conditions, you should always be forward.
