Let me start off i lead with my right leg.

Im having some difficulty. If I start off on the heel edge going right i have no problem, I can turn into the toe edge going left ok..

But for some reason as soon as I do turn into toe I speed up and so when I try to turn right onto heel i wipe out..

Any tips or advice on turning and also slowing myself thanks

well there are a few things, why would you be turning both ways doing a toe turn unless you are trying to ride switch sometimes? and are you goofy or regular. but if you wanna toe turn right, just make sure you get your board back down the hill after your heel turn and turn your shoulders back up hill and pressure up your toes as you know on doing a toe turn regular. and for doing a heel turn you need to turn your shoulders back down hill and put pressure on your heels. just make sure that you straighten out your board before you start to turn again.
