Figured I'd post my most recent clips since it doesn't seem like there is gonna be a feedback session for a while.
Pretty happy with my 1st 2 turns, unfortunately my park doesn't really have a corner, just the half pipe... thinking I may have to drive 2 hours to the next closest park to get a good corner bowl section with a nice roll in, so I can work on getting my head lower through the turn.

In the bowl I'm trying, rather unsuccessfully to do the same thing, kiss the knee more and head my head lower in line with the board. Feeling like it's probably a little bit of a speed issue since I'm too afraid to drop in to this one.

I watched the feedback from the "unlocking your backhand" session and Clayton mentioned to multiple people about getting that head lower and letting the board pivot around it. Again, kinda feeling like my park doesn't really offer a section that would be good for working on that. But I am trying to get those airplane wings to roll/lean.
As always any feedback welcome. If I ever make it to the other park I'll be sure to get lots of clips, but a 4 hour drive (2 each way) plus time at the park is hard to come by with 2 young kids so not sure if that's gonna happen any time soon.

Have you tried different lines in the bowl? I think you could get more out of the corners if you approach it closer to this angle on backside turns for example. In your line in that clip you pass through the bottom of the corners. Think it would be easier to work on the lean and dipping your head if you're turning through the top of corner.

That looks pretty good to me 👍

I'd say the main thing to work on now would be to relax more. Your body seems very tense and I think that's stopping you from raising your elbows which is restricting your compress/ extend.

Once you get that, it should help you be able to lower your head in the rectangular bowl.
