    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.

    Tough crowd!

    Anyone here suggesting that Ryan change his stance or equipment is out of line.

    1) Ryan rips. Watch his YouTube channel for video proof.

    2) Ryan is leading a whole new generation, dare I say it a movement, into carving.

    We need new blood. The folks here are old, yes me too. 

     

    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.

    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)

    Currently the only problem I am trying to solve is I'd like to get some snow+ice tires for my car and don't really have anyplace to store them. I could put them on my balcony but ... gross.

    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.

      Thanks for all of those informative comments as they help me define what I am trying to do.

    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.
