Useful mobility is active and controlled: create room at the ankles and hips, then own that range under light tension.

Snowboard mobility: ankles, hips, done

You need enough range to ride comfortably, not circus flexibility. Ten quiet minutes is plenty.

SBTV editorial • Updated
01

Free the ankles

Use slow knee-to-wall rocks with the heel down. Keep the knee over the middle toes and stop before pinching or pain.

02

Move the hips

Try supported 90/90 switches and gentle hip airplanes. Use a wall. Smooth control matters more than reaching the floor.

Keep it short

Five to ten minutes after a walk or workout is enough. Before riding, use dynamic movement and build intensity gradually.
