UMI | Snowboarder / Self-Studying Movement Analyst
The more I rode, the more my right thigh burned out.
I thought it was a strength issue.
I thought it was a technique problem.
I took lessons.
Filmed myself.
Forced my weight onto the front foot.
Still, something felt off.
I was wrong.
It wasn’t about technique.
My movement was misaligned at a structural level.
Now I use my own body as a test subject, trying to understand that misalignment.
4 Stance Theory.
STANCER measurements.
Hip mobility analysis.
What emerged was a profile that works against ideal carving mechanics:
B2 type / right-side dominant / lateral loading bias
Why can’t I load my left side?
Why does my rotation stop?
This blog is a research log.
A process of connecting scattered discomfort into a single line of understanding.
I’m not here to impose a theory.
If you’ve ever felt like something is “off,”
this might give you a different way to look at it.
You’re not broken.
You’re just biased.
