Snowboard Updates – June 1st, 2020 Hey Everybody, As everyone can imagine plans are slowly beginning to change regarding summer training opportunities.  This does however bring some new opportunities.  As of right now, we are still trying to make going to Mt.

Bar Patterns: Clean Pull [from mid-shin] Part 10 in the series Grasp the bar with a clean grip.
