Hi everyone! My name is Seung, and I love snowboarding, carving, and teaching! I’ve learned a lot riding at Big Snow American Dream, America’s first indoor snow resort, and want to spread the knowledge on various aspects of boarding and carving in a clear, easily followable format - videos! Welcome to my channel SHMSNOW, and enjoy!
Madre mía es el video más completo y mejor narrado que he visto en todo Internet. De verdad muchas muchas gracias por todo tu ayuda. Aquí tienes un nuevo suscriptor
Here in the UK we have the Chill Fatore in Manchester. I'm lucky as I live only a 30/40 min car ride away so I can get there a couple of times a week throughout summer. I dont go over the winter months as the place is just way to busy. It looks very similar to Big Snow in size and layout. Also just finished watching your extremely comprehensive guide to carving. Without question for me personally its hands down the best tutorial on how to carve on RU-vid. And it's absolutely improved my riding. So thank you Shm for the tutorial and the tour around Big Snow. You never know, maybe one day I'll visit Big Snow and maybe one day you'll visit the Chill Factore. Keep up the stellar work Sir and take care.
When you search for a carve tutorial, and find the asian guy in your maths class running the joint. You speak to me on a genetic level and for that i appreciate it!
Hi Seung! Thanks for the explanation, but on other videos you get much lower, basically extremely low and touch the snow with the hand and even butt. How do you it so low?
The best video i ve seen about Craving. I watched many times of your first series videos but I couldn't pick it up last winter. I tried more than 10 times but I can left pencil line at the end of every time. Do you think the slope and the sleep are very related?
I'm confused.. Open body Heel side makes sense (like door opening movement) but Open body with Toeside isn't a little bit controversial? it's almost like doing a counter rotation to make a carve.. wouldn't be closed shoulders ?
No. Check out any skilled carver, stance regardless, each of their toesides their upper body is perpendicular to their board. It's more of a balance issue than a counter rotation momentum issue.
@@shmsnow strong disagree on that one. There's plenty of duck stance carvers who maintain proper open stance on heelside, most of the ones I know have a background in Alpine snowboarding, the way edge pressure is applied throughout the turn looks noticeably different for how you are demonstrating it. Honestly it just looks like you're trying to teach something you don't fully understand.
@@Gorbothy This is a video for beginners looking to get into carving. Not everyone has had the blessing of starting on a forward stance. MOST people don't.
@@shmsnow I made this point because this video is for beginners. You've packed a lot of good information in a very well put together video that I'm sure took a huge amount of effort but it's borderline misinformation and confusing to beginners to be talking about an open body heelside carve when the riding demonstrated is 99% closed. this would've been much better if you packaged it as a general heelside carve tips / advice video.
@@shmsnow What you might want to consider is breaking the various techniques down into maybe 20 minute videos..part 1..part 2..etc. Unfortunately as a university lecturer I see most people don’t have the perseverance or ability to focus on a subject much longer than 20-30 minutes. A split will be more digestible to 99% of viewers and allow them to work on one at a time before moving on to the next.
Going here in prolly 2-3 weeks for the first time. Where should you park and is it free (if not then how much)? Im also just worried that 2 hours wont be enough to satisfy the fact i havent skied since march and wont for 4 more months😭😭😭
Thanks for sharing and great detail and tips. May I ask you what binding angles do you use? I want to model exactly like yours just to eliminate the confusion/additional variables. Thank you.
I wanted to thank you for this very detailed tutorial. I have been doing park riding but my knees cant take all the jumps anymore. So learning to true carve properly instead of skidded turns has been a new and fun experience for me. You definitely deserve so much more subs and attention for such amazing work.
Hi Seung, I learned to touch snow on the heel side from your videos. Thank you so much for making the great videos. Right now, I'm a little confused about the toe side though. I think my style is more like you, but I feel it lacks of angulation demonstrated from other people's videos. Have you thought about it? Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video with so much information. I saw your video after I bought the outdoor master snowboard edge tuning and hot waxing kit. They provide a file with angles(90,89,88,87) to tune the edge. But in your video you said never use a file to tune edge. I'm a little confused.
thanks for going into more detail than most "plug and play" videos. I always like to know exactly what I'm actually doing to the equipment I'm tuning, not just following some quick and dirty tutorial. Also water on the diamond stones helped prevent clogging i was previously experiencing. thanks!
@@shmsnow could you perhaps explain the difference between wetting and not wetting the towel during the no scrape method? Seems like a few people were mentioning that you shouldn't wet the towel.
Спасибо, друг. Очень хорошо подготовленный материал. Я работаю инструктором по сноуборду в России, порой не имею нужного видео. Твоё сохранил. Хорошо, что есть субтитры на русском языке. Ещё раз спасибо!!!!!
I want to tune/sharpen the edges of my 2022 Huck Knife. It states that there is "..Freestyle Edge Bevel - From detuning the tip and tail to a 2-degree edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut, back to a 3-degree bevel between the feet...". How can I make the transition of the 2 to 3 degree angle? Thanks for the detailed video and your help.
It's a little complex, but slowly section of the parts that are 2 degree and 3 degree and tune them, making sure the edge tuning tool is set at the right setting.
