caspercarver

Oh man that suc$%^ ! I have been very lucky, so far nothing but some pulled muscles. I just got my new birthday present ( i just turned 49) a 161cm Swoard Extremecarver. It's a blast to ride but when going backwards, you can easily see a serious amount of snow flyin up over the tail. maybe i should invest in a neck, spine protector. here's a link to the Swoard backwards.

dude that is one sweeeeet video! keep em comin! :)

I agree, I have been practicing toeside the last couple of days and i have defitely hit a wall. In fact i am getting so beat up i am taking a break for awhile.

I agree very good video! I especially love the air between transitions, not something i normally do but i think i will start working on it next time i am out. Cheers.

sold, Thanks:)

awaiting payment. i will contact you if it falls thru. thanks.

thank,s i love the lift overhead except today when i crashed and single handedly took out half the Nastar course. I was filming with my GoPro but the file was corrupted :(

Thanks. I unfortunately am not articulate enough to explain what i do. I did learn on shorter boards with tighter turning radius which i think makes it easier. I did try with a wider stance and found it very difficult. It really seemed to cut down on my range of motion. I spent a lot of time on the bunny slope in soft snow for the impact is not as severe when you catch your edge. I almost always lean uphill on my turns backwards which helps keep the tail from digging in. When i make my transition to heelside backwards carve my helmet sometimes is only inches away from the front of the board. Today i worked on the toeside transition to backwards carve, infinitely more difficult. I ended up doing body slides down the slope. I can get low but i can't get back up. yet. It's a work in progress. I would be fun if someone could watch what I'm doing and articulate it so we all could learn.

Got my hands on a 177cm Metal Prior and shot a short video the other day. Definitely a different experience going backwards at a higher speed.

Bought this set and never used them. 3 degree cant. $300.00 Free shipping to lower 48 states. PAYPAL ONLY.

Check out this website, they sell their own mounts, lens, lens filter, etc... and a lot of information. http://www.eyeofmine.com/gopro/index.html

Hey dingbat, did they ship any Black Diamonds? size? thanks.

My new boards still haven't been shipped so it looks like i won't be bringing any gear except my boots. So i will be going to Berkshire if the Pureboarding gear arrives. :) Kinda hate to leave Jackson, the Teton Village is getting really good!

I ride my Ibex bindings flat and super narrow stance. works for me and i have track 700s which to me are are pretty forgiving and flexy. I used to ride with cants and lifts when i rode in ski boots but when i switched to the 700's i felt i no longer needed anything else.

man you must use one powerful video de-stabilizer cause i could n't do anything with the footage i had. Is this a remix of footage or all new material? some of it i have not seen and some looks a little familiar? good job editing! Dredman where exactly are you going to be carving this winter? Cheers!

the "BEAST" is what resort? I really wanna check out the Pureboarding clinic? demo? I will just have to wait and see what happens weather wise and family stuff. SWOARD is saying maybe delivery before Christmas of my new boards. I hope so. otherwise I'm on old gear again. But i hear the groomers are pretty soft and forgiving so maybe i will do ok. http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Arrive Christmas day and leave first thing New Years Day. I am going to have to work around my sisters schedule. I am actually staying in Maynard, Mass.

i checked out the trail map, looks like a pretty nice place. just not enough time to get up there. :(

no, never been east. thanks for the info. just looking for something fun to do when my sister is working. i have my new palmer carving skis and my swoard 161cm, so I'm actually looking forward to a new experience, not much hardpack out here in jackson hole.

Hey, i am headed to Boston for a week during Christmas holiday. Any advice on the best place to carve, ie. long intermediate cruiser runs, perfect grooming etc...:) thanks in advance!

I am going to be in Boston from Dec 25 for seven days, would you expect the program to up and running by then? is this something you can just show up for or do you need to sign up in advance? sounds pretty awesome!:)

if i could lose twenty pounds by December 5th , i would buy this board in a second!!!

I have Ibex bindings and love them. never broken anything.

sorry, boots are sold.
