Are you looking to join the NS Snowboard Development or Provincial team?

Covid-19 restrictions on group sizing has forced NS Snowboard to move to a digital assessment for athletes. We will then narrow down to the riders we would like to see in person for a formal evaluation. When creating your video of your riding make sure that you demonstrate the following:

Stance and Balance

• Manage instability – remain balanced in varying conditions
• Strong adaptable position (In and out of neutral) over varied terrain/features
• Hip and knee flexion and extension –  not breaking at waist

Edging:

• Initiate turns with front hip/leg, transition through rear hip/leg
• Maintain Center of Mass inside turn
• Balance over working edge
• Carve turns

Pressure:

• Generate lift (Pop, Coast, Retract or Ollie/Nollie)
• Absorption on edge and/or flat based
• Adjust turn shape using flexion & extension
• Build board pressure and deflect it in direction of travel
• Pop / Resistance through takeoff
• Stabilization in air
• Control and absorb landing forces
