What boots set up is he using? I see two different boots. ? Stiffer at the front?
-
See the other videos associated also. Well explained by Prof Donek
-
I summarize Rob's lengthy but excellent dissertation for you (he's been doing EC since the predawn of Swoard) : do the limbo and stick your pipi in the air , ass away from the snow :-) We can't do half what you're doing so keep doing what your doing (and do post the videos). Be that first guy doing EC duck 15/-15 both side.
-
Completely agree. I hope you don't include me in the 'tough crowd'. I'm a subscriber to his channel and FB page, love his stuff. I was trying to imagine what I would do heel side EC if I had 10% of his ability.
-
If Ryan wants to EC, I imagine he needs all inclination and no angulation. To do that heel side with 15/-15, I imagine he would need to push the penis up to the sky doing the limbo dance (so his butt does not touch), back hand behind the neck for style.

You are going into unknown territories...and I have no clue. So...take this with a grain of salt: your butt dragging is taking the pressure off the edge. Looks to me that when you grabbed the edge of the board, your butt no longer touch the ground and you have full pressure on the edge again.
-
Sorry I have to take these off the market. I just found a crack in my beloved Northwaves, and will have to use these in the near future.
-
Good condition. Top & base almost no scratch. Edges like new except for old age surface rust. U$100 (Can$135)+shipping. I actually have 2 of these.
-
sorry no longer availableWell used but still good working conditions. U$100 (Can$135)+shipping

It's art. That's like asking Picasso for his eye asymmetry scale.
-
Well... you do go out eventually, you just get locked in the butt side turn for an extra 15min

Thanks. Great pumping explanation video. The acceleration he got is amazing. I realized I've been experimenting with method 1&2 this year, or a combination of the 2 because I didn't have any idea what I was doing. Method 3 doesn't quite work because I'm running 45/35 angles on 22cm board. Method 4 seems efficient but so fugly. It came from this original post a few weeks back. I think 1&2 (esp 1 relates very much to Kelly Slater style)
-
Thanks, that's what CMC was doing in the video above in some of the segments. I didn't know there was a name for it :-)
-
What's pump style?
-
Yes, apologies sent. Jack, please delete my post. Thanks.

The snowboarding Gods are saying: lonboardin, son, you need to simplify, only need one Coiler, a pair of TD3SW and a new pair of yellow .950. Go carve in simplicity. Peace out.
-
Sorry lonbordin, that's really upsetting. Who on earth steal only alpine gear? ? It's not like we are huge community.
-
Try the Nokian WRG series. Winter tires but designed for year round use. Works really well esp on the smaller cars (had 90,000km on my first set). No tire change , no extra rims.
-
This should work https://www.flickr.com/photos/26003094@N02/6610374997/in/photostream

Just to clarify, historically the 'extreme' in 'extreme carving' is the extreme angle of the board& body to the snow, not as in wow look at me I'm going to kill myself ;-)
-
Looking back and if I had to redo all over again, if you are interested in trying (watching EC over and over does get a bit boring, doing it is not though)I I would get really good carving techniques first, but incorporate the Swiss upper body rotational technique into my riding arsenal, and especially important is being able to do that edge change on very steep WAAYY before you reach the fall line. And don't reach for the snow, let it come to you.
-
All of the above. That same movie and it's precursor was got me into snowboarding. As mentioned, when done on double black wide slopes (ie rare find in my corner of the woods), that quick edge change well before the fall line, followed by your head just above the snow below your feet, the Gs and knowing you're leaving pencil line on very steep are great fun. Don't need an audience for EC for those reason to be honest.

Just as we were about to get on the lift tonight, lightning hit (presumably one of the tower or transformer) and the lift shuts off with people on the chairs . A few tense minutes...
-
I couldn't understand the article but I think what he's really trying to say is hardbooting is back
-
My wife (non snowboarder) looked at the video and asked isn't that a Skwal?
