@@The123brat This year I finally convinced myself to begin improving my endurance long before the next season instead of a couple of sit ups the day before season opening. %D
I litterally revisit this video for inspiration I can now carve, after so many years, thanks to auto critics recording myself and also youtube (mostly you) But its not that clean with up unweighted yet at all This is mesmereizing to watch And im not even talking about push & pull carve or down unweighted, those i cant do at all
A mixture of basic and dynamic carves. Dynamic from heels to toe edge is the sign of true understanding of carving. Then go all French on it and dynamic heel to switch heel. That's the shred ninja boss level
This is why I don't listen to music, and I leave off the earmuffs when I'm carving. The snow is talking to me, telling me about the snow, about how I'm setting my edges, about my speed. It compliments the visual info, and I need it when I'm pushing the limits. I consider it critical when visibility is less than ideal.
@malcolmmoore seems like this is a green slope. For carving like that in the video, is it more difficult to do that in the more steep slope, like blue or black slope?
Yeah, the steeper it is the harder it is to carve. Carved turns are bigger turns, meaning you spend more time with the board pointing down the fall line, therefore more time picking up speed. The faster you go the harder it is to keep the board on edge and gripping. You can see here I'm making wide open turns but not picking up too much speed. You can still carve on steeper slopes, particularly if the snow conditions are good, but you can't be quite as lazy as I'm being in this video here.
Due to a herniated disc, I switched to skiing full time because it’s just easier on my body. But man, there’s nothing like carving a snowboard in the pow.
try keeping your trailing arm quiet by grabbing your jacket. use your leading arm and point downhill reaching for your turns similar to a skier reaching with his Pole. bend your knees in the turn and stand up out of your turn when transitioning to your next turn. that is flexion and extension and is very important. standing up out of your turn frees your board from the snow surface. the foot with the most weight on it will go downhill first. therefore there is a transition of weight between your feet in a turn. weight your front foot into the turn and your back foot to end it. at the end of your turn released the weight on your back foot and transition back to the front to enter your next turn. all this is in concert and is rhythmic.
Oh man I wish I was there! I have a question, I sometimes hear people talk about "loading up camber" on a board when talking about carving. What does that mean, how should you ride a camber board different from a rocker? Thanks
This was actually from the closing day at 2alpes, but I will be back there next week when the glacier (that I'm on here) opens up for the summer season!
@@mgrobins1 awesome, hit me up when you're there! I normally get over once or twice each week. Best to message me on Instagram though, as these youtube comments often get lost!
aaaah.... 0:32-33-34 ... orgasmic/ sound / feeling.. i just closed my eyes and could taste the snow on my face .... it has been exactly 230 days since I was on the mountain and only 6 days,7 hours and 1 min till that first chair baby... carve .. eurocarve... THANK You man.. i really learnt alot from your tutorials and can now do clean toe side eurocarves .. ah just cant wait ... addicted to carve :D ... love from New Zealand..
Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". ru-vid.comUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.
I am still using them, they've been on a few different boards, I'll be back on them a bit over the summer too to see how I like them in the park and will do a follow up review on them at the end of the summer season 👍
Huge fan of carving but not so much of the slooow belly rubbing euro carve, when it’s done with some speed and inertia bringing you back up onto your base that I can watch.

@@malcolmmoore Cool and thanks for reply. Not a park guy, but looking forward to trying these bindings. I'd also like to try an Amplid deck, but might be tough to come by here in US. Thinking the Surfari or Dada, but don't believe the Surfari is a volume shifted board?
@@Batwing2465 surfari is still pretty wide, looks like it has that kind of pow surf look to it, but I haven't actually ridden that one. It's definitely more of a directional board than the dada though, but yeah, not sure what the shipping costs to the US are like
@@malcolmmoore we know you've got them. On an whole other page, regarding heelside-turns, the snowboard-world still has a lot to learn from the japanese snowsurf-culture, at least style-wise... Sorry for my (d)english, keep in the good work, greetings dein Switzerland
I'm on the amplid dada here, 154, but it's a volume shifted board. I go into why I bought that board here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BJXKj2ZT_aw.html On a more normal board I would take something like a 160W. I'm 6 for 1, about 90kgs, and uk11 feet 👍
