An early edge change is where you get the board changing from one edge to the other before the full line, that is before the board is even pointing down the slope.

提前換邊是指在全線之前，也就是在衝浪板還沒有指向斜坡之前，衝浪板就已經從一邊換到另一邊了。

Now an early edge change is really important because the sooner you can get your board on a new edge, the sooner you're in control, the sooner you can start achieving grip and the sooner you can start managing the forces coming at you throughout the turn.

現在，儘早換邊真的很重要，因為你越早把衝浪板換到新的邊上，你就能越早地控制住衝浪板，越早地開始獲得抓地力，越早地開始控制整個轉彎過程中向你襲來的力量。

Now a lot of you might already be making an early edge change but the difference is probably that you're not setting that board on its edge and achieving grip, rather you're just pushing the board around in a skid.

現在，很多人可能已經在進行早期換邊了，但區別可能在於，你並沒有把衝浪板固定在邊上並實現抓地力，而只是在滑行中將衝浪板推來推去。

Now this exercise called garlands will have you setting that edge nice and early and achieving grip early in the turn.

現在，這個名為 "花環 "的練習會讓你在轉彎時儘早設置好邊緣，並實現抓地。

So first off, I just want you to watch me do a few of them.

首先，我想讓你們看我做幾道菜。

Watch closely, see if you can see what I'm doing and how I'm achieving it, then afterwards we'll break it back down and I'll explain it fully.

仔細觀察，看看你是否能看出我在做什麼，以及我是如何做到的，然後我們再把它分解開來，我會對它進行全面的解釋。

So watching that, you should have seen me engage my edge across the slope and then change edge and then change edge back again all before the full line, all before the board is pointing down the slope.

所以，你應該看到我在全線之前，在木板指向斜坡之前，就已經把我的邊楔過了斜坡，然後換邊，再換邊。

Now to achieve that quick snappy edge change, I'm really using my lower body, my knees, my feet and my ankles.

現在，為了實現快速敏捷的邊緣變化，我真的在使用我的下半身、膝蓋、腳和腳踝。

The front foot initiates the edge change and the back foot follows.

前腳啟動變邊，後腳跟上。

You get into this rhythm one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

一、二、三、四，一、二、三、四。

Now I've really explained this movement in this video up here so if you haven't already, do go and check that out.

現在，我已經在這段視頻中詳細解釋了這個動作，如果你還沒看過，請一定去看看。

Now what else is going on?

現在還發生了什麼？

Well a little bit of speed is going to help but most importantly is I'm staying quite low down.

速度快一點會有幫助，但最重要的是我要保持低姿態。

By staying low, I'm keeping my knees bent, really allowing my feet, my ankles, my knees to work underneath me and that's one of the key differences here with what you're normally doing in your riding.

通過保持低姿勢，我的膝蓋保持彎曲，真正讓我的雙腳、腳踝和膝蓋在我腳下工作，這是與你平時騎行的關鍵區別之一。

I'm not coming up and over the board to change edge, rather I'm just really working my legs and the board is changing edge underneath my relatively still upper body.

我並不是站起來並越過木板來改變邊緣，而是真正地鍛鍊雙腿，木板在我相對靜止的上半身下改變邊緣。

So let's go one edge at a time across the slope.

所以，讓我們一條一條地穿過斜坡。

Set that board on its edge, get some speed, get down low and see if you can really work those legs underneath you to quickly change the edge and then change it back again.

把滑板放在邊上，加快速度，壓低身子，看看你的雙腿是否能真正發力，迅速改變邊線，然後再把它變回來。

So if you're finding this hard to get that quick snappy edge change, it's probably because you've got some bad habits that you're trying to get rid of.

所以，如果你覺得很難快速改變自己的優勢，很可能是因為你有一些壞習慣，你正在努力改掉它們。

You might be counter-rotating a bit with the upper body or just kicking that back leg out.

你可能會用上半身反向旋轉一下，或者只是把後腿踢出去。

So keep practicing that exercise, get down low and just try and really isolate that movement with your ankles, with your feet and with your knees to achieve that real quick edge change before the fall line.

是以，繼續練習這項運動，趴低身體，嘗試用腳踝、腳掌和膝蓋真正孤立地完成這一動作，從而在下降線之前實現真正的快速邊緣變化。

Awesome, so now you've got that garland exercise, that early edge change, you can bring it back into everyday riding.

太棒了，現在你已經掌握了花環練習和早期邊緣變化，可以將其帶回日常騎行中。

Now on the steeps, this is really going to help.

現在，在陡峭的山路上，這可真是幫了大忙。

The sooner you set that edge, the sooner you can start managing the pressure through the turn.

越早確定優勢，就能越早開始控制轉彎時的壓力。

If you were previously skidding the beginning part of the turn, you probably found at the end of your turn, you're struggling to manage all that pressure, the board is kind of skipping, it's bouncing and it's really juddering underneath you.

如果你之前在轉彎的起始部分打滑，那麼你可能會發現在轉彎的末尾，你很難控制所有的壓力，滑板有點跳動、彈跳，而且在你腳下真的很顛簸。

So this is going to help with that.

是以，這將對此有所幫助。

In your carving, the sooner you can get on the new edge, the better.

在雕刻過程中，越早進入新的邊緣越好。

You then got more time throughout the carve turn, which is essential if you want to start trying things like euro carves or getting down really low and grabbing the board throughout a carve.

如果你想開始嘗試歐式滑法，或者在整個滑行過程中趴下並抓住滑板，這一點至關重要。

But also it's going to help within your freestyle.

但它也會對你的自由泳有所幫助。

Say you want to spinning off jumps, you see people, they kind of carve off the takeoff and they need to do a quick edge change in the setup to the jump to get them over on the heels or on the toe edge to set that spinning motion in progress.

如果你想旋轉起跳，你會發現人們在起跳時會有一種雕刻的感覺，他們需要在起跳的準備過程中快速換邊，讓他們在腳跟或腳尖邊上完成旋轉動作。

So as I say, it's really going to help across all aspects of your riding.

是以，正如我所說，它真的會對你騎行的各個方面都有幫助。

So really give it the time to practice this garlands exercise, this quick early edge change using your lower body, your feet, your knees, your ankles.

所以，真的要花點時間來練習這種花環練習，利用你的下半身、雙腳、膝蓋和腳踝來進行這種快速的早期邊緣變化。

But as always, thanks for watching.

但還是要一如既往地感謝您的收看。
