That's so phantastic, really insane :-) I'm riding a Korua Pencil board with softboots and I'm dreaming about learning extremecarving since I saw your videos. Hope to make huge progress this winter ;-) Thanks a lot for this tutorial Andi
Hi Andreas! Thank you very much for your kind :) I wish you a good snowy season! Pencil is right choice for learning softboot carving, you will get your progress as well.
Great shit boys. I could carve great in soft boots, but I never learned to lay them out any further than about 25, 30 degrees. Wish I still had 2 legs 8)
As long as you can swoop all the way across the hill at top speed & travel like 4x more distance than a skier on the same slope... but faster... you're doin great. These guys are cool AF w that technique though. Super slick.
Hi, and many many thanks for your tutos, unique on the Internet... My question is simple : what are the minimum binding angles possible to use your carving technique ? On my (old) alpine snowboard, I was 45/40. On my freeride one, I've 30/0 (i've small feet) and i love the ability of easy frontside turning "in place" offered by the low back angle... But I'm ready to get a screwdriver if it's the price to achieve so stylish carving turns with my soft boots :-) Thanks a lot for your answer, G.
Critical angle of edging is dangerous because: - it's very big chance to touch the snow by your boots or by your bindings. It will particularly unweight the board. - the edge can cut off upper layer of snow, and board will carve another radius of the turn. - if the critical angles will be before you cross the "fall line" of the slope, it will reduce the speed.
great video! it helped immensely with my carving. one question... what exactly do you mean by "critical edge angle" in common mistakes? does it mean too much angle of the edge too early? thanks for the tips.
Привет! Классное видео! Тоже делаю укладки, фронт сам пришел (очень легко) а вот с быком пришлось возиться! Спасибо Вам за видеоурок! У меня вопрос- очень быстро изнашивается одежда и варежки, как выходите из положения?
По началу так всегда.. Позже, с накатом укладок, вес переносится на руки все меньше и меньше, превращаясь в такого рода погляживания склона. Но пока учишься, можно использовать полимеры, нанося их на перчатки и детали одежды. Я, честно говоря, одежду не намазываю, - она смотрится ужасно. А перчатки в этом году есть кевларовые, они износостойкие очень, плюс и их можно дополнить полимерными составами. Мы используем Химекс Лтд, в Спб завод, марки "Полимочевинная композиция для ручного применения ХТ-2004" Она легко смешивается 1:1, из двух составов, прозрачная, самовыравнивающаяся, тонкий слой можно аккуратно и легко нанести кистью.
It's pretty tough cause the board won't bend to the right shape, but you should absolutely try to get as close as possible. It's what olympian pipe riders do more or less.
thanks for the tips! i always seem to get a lot of chatter going backside when i try to dig in for a carve. what is causing it? my binding set up is 0-rear and 25-front. just curious but what binding angles do you use?
I was wondering what you would suggest for binding placement. I have the angles and width I feel the most comfortable with, but was wondering if I should try to maintain a 'centered' stance on the board which I have recently changed to, or if a 'set back' stance is preferable. I am currently riding 30 front and 12 rear with a width of 21. I'm riding an older model Sims 171 Search and it has a 2.5cm setback which I have been remedying by moving my front binding forward to the next to furthest forward holes while keeping my rear binding at the furthest forward holes. I ride mostly hard pack, occasionally packed powder, and when I have no other option, icy conditions. Deep powder is never an issue as the resort I ride at grooms every morning before opening, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late evening on Friday and Saturday.
Hi! I think it will be better, if you will ignore the setback of your board. We recommend to set your bindings in symmetrical holes ondoard, just for the first time. When you'll feel the radius of turn in centered position, you can variate some adjustments. If you are ridin in hard snow, you can move forwards a little bit. It'll help you to control the board on high speed.
Поздно я...😂 Так какие углы примерно ставить? Бешенные японские? Еле еле posi posi или уточку?😅 Экспериментирую ++, но никак не могу понять, какие лучше, ведь ко всему привыкаешь. И талия доски 27, а длина стельки 29.5, цепанешь😅
