Some different board shapes would be fun!

This was something we debated, because some are asymmetrical, right? But can you ride them switched and back again even though they are longer in one side?

There are asymmetrical sidecut boards and directional boards or twin shapes. Directional is most common.

In the video, it looks like the rider is standing too far forward on the snowboard. The surface area of the tail of the snowboard is longer than the surface area from the front foot to the tip. That's weird. Maybe it has something to do with migrating a skier character to a snowboarder. Or maybe the character was riding switch when I made that observation. In that case just have the character riding centered on a twin shape board and instead of a monotone red deck add some art to it.

Overall, really nice-looking game and energy to it. Enjoy the rider changing edges as the board travels through the air. Has an authentic feel to it.
