them not allowing you to get off with both feet attactched is a saftey thing. and its a good idea that the heel of the non-attatched binding is folded down. it can cause problems when getting into and out of the chair.

actually, the first time i went, i tripped, and fell all the time on the chairlift. So, it is kinda helpful, but then again, maybe i just relly need to practice in that area

Do what this guy says put your unstrapped foot on the board, try to keep your weight centered and ride away from the lift as straight as possible. The more you try and turn with one foot unstrapped the more unbalanced you will get…

Camera man is an idiot. What are we learning? How to talk about how to get off the chair or how to actuallly get off the chair? Then why are you showing me his face while he’s getting off the chair? show me the leg movements, idiot

That’s cool if it’s straight down from there but sometimes you need to skate a bit.

You should probably get one. Your foot will most likely slip off the board and you’ll fall on your ass, not fun.
