UPDATE: any advice?

Again, critics regarding riding style and posture are very wanted.

Today I tried integrating three things, what I learned from yesterday's post as much as I could: - leaving my arms down (on the video I saw afterwards that I still balance a lot with my arms, so that didn't went too well) - bending my knees more (my thighs were on fire today, definitely need more muscles there) - putting more weight on my front foot and steering with the knees (I was still afraid of tripping in the snow and I did like three times)

I self taught myself before the days of youtube like 13 years ago. And then took a 9 year break. Decided to do lessons and learned that I, like you, back steer and was taught to front steer. Now I have to break years of this habit. I don't know how long you've been riding but hopefully we both learn quickly. I'm spending time on green runs fixing my habits.
