UMI SNOW LAB is a research log focused on the mechanics of movement and body structure in snowboarding.
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 was wrong.
It wasn’t about strength or technique.
My movement was misaligned at a structural level.
This site explores that “misalignment” through:
- 4 Stance Theory
- STANCER measurements
- Hip mobility analysis
All content is based on personal experience, observation, and independent analysis, using my own body as a testing model.
Topics
- Body Mechanics & Snowboarding
- Technique & Riding
- Gear & Setup
- Body Care & Self-Maintenance
- Mindset & Thinking
Purpose
This site does not aim to provide universal instructions or professional advice.
The content is intended to offer one perspective on movement and body mechanics.

this may give you another way to look at it.
