Check out the turn past the slow sign at 40 seconds in the video below. I had to turn super sharp to avoid my videographer and without thinking I did this kind of windmill arm movement unrehearsed. Pause the video when his skis come into view and you'll see that I'm about two feet away from total disaster and know that he also saw it coming and had changed his trajectory too. When I saw this I immediately remembered the discussions here about the circular arm movements and thought I would share. After the intro these's no more snowboarding in this video, but a few of you might find it interesting anyway.

https://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Nakiska/6day/top Nakiska forecast looks great for Friday and also for Saturday morning! They're getting consistently cold temps and fresh snow right now. Saturday afternoon will be warm and probably slushy late in the day on the lower mountain at least. I've only been there once for NES 2017 but the map makes it look like mostly eastern aspects so it should hold up well. So is this happening? Who's in? Anybody for Friday?

Forecast for Nakiska looks decent! Some cold and some snow expected midweek, this might actually happen! Closing day is tomorrow in Revelstoke, I'll hold off on the storage wax for a bit...

I'll show up if there's cold corduroy!

Oh no! Not another "James Cherry" thread... The last one on snowboardingforum didn't end well.

Get up to Revelstoke this week, I'll give you a free lesson. Conditions look good for carving on the upper mountain until at least Sunday. I've been meaning to get my hardboots on all season... (Actually, all last season too.)

Hell yes! C'mon in... the water is fine. Most of them don't know this type of stuff, and the coaches and racers that do will try to keep any advantage they think they have.

Yeah! Anything for views! We could continue the posi-posi vs duck stance wars but that's already getting old. I'm thinking cant vs lift, asym vs symmetrical, goofy vs regular... Hard boots vs soft, up-unweighting vs down-unweighting, beard vs balaclava, Coiler vs JJA, mittens vs gloves... The possibilities are endless! Thanks for defending me @SunSurfer but it was just razzing, @ShortcutToMoncton is a friend and I deserved that comment.

Sweet turns @RockyZ Happy Birthday @Xargo

Wow... The comments on this IG post are dead on and hillarious! I could see using this contraption to run my girl to the bus stop in the winter (the OneWheel is three season only), and maybe riding around the flats in the valley sometimes but I have to think the paddles will disengage from the snow as soon as you put the board high on edge. Still, probably funner than snowshoes.

What he said... Extending the legs causes more boot out. Look at Ryan Knapton's legs in a low carve, all the way straight. That's why he needs extreme underhang. No real difference in hard or soft boots, it's the hard or soft snow that makes the difference. In Ontario you can get away with narrower boards for sure. My last custom hard boot boards were 21cm in the waist, @dredman still orders 19.5cm I think, but he rides with more bend in the knees. Sure, on a hard surface. Remember that the board isn't riding on marble, it's sinking into the snow, creating a trench. And the sinking motion is not perpendicular to the base like in powder but more parallel to the base in a carve, deleting that underhang immediately and then dragging the toes and/or heelcup. When you get out here next season @ShortcutToMoncton you'll see what I mean...

Think of it as an audio podcast and listen in the car. The footage was just 'cause. I was gonna throw together a few minutes and put it on a loop but it turned out I had almost 40 minutes of previously unreleased video so I didn't have to repeat as much as expected. Like this? Well I haven't even assessed all the damage from the fallout and backlash due to the original rant yet... So maybe soon. What's with the rest of your post? You need a better AI content generator, this one is talking itself in circles. Because I'm booting out of course. My style lends itself to extra boot out potential and I don't want to change it if I can just get a wider board and lower profile bindings to solve the problem. Other styles don't require so much underhang: Jordan Michon rides the same widths as me in size 12 boots, Lars Hostmann rides 270mm waists on size 9 boots. Yet other styles require even more underhang: Ryan Knapton rides 320-340mm waists at size 8!

Did anyone here see the original Rant? I deleted it after 149 views but apparently it made some impressions. This is the sanitized version for public consumption. Boring. Some good previously unreleased footage here but way too much self-indulgent blathering on for me...

I've had a lot of requests like that this season... I only have two tricks: toeside and heelside.

Got some new footage and some new boards! As usual, pre-release for my homies. Add your own soundtrack, I'm working on a long voiceover for this one - coming soon. Turns out I have a lot to say. Who knew? This was yesterday and the day before, on the newest JJA prototype soft-boot carvers. Introducing Daniel K, one of my near-local proteges.
