    @Colozeus Your riding has improved a lot since we rode together last season (I think, might have been the year before). Keep it up. You could edit all your clips into one youtube video to make them easier to watch.  Just my worthless two cents.

    Thanks! Yeah i was thinking about doing that, lol. I don't have any experience with video editing software but i'll give that a go for the next set of videos from tomorrow. I think i might be able to do it in youtube itself.

    We were at A basin for most of the day today. It wasn't too windy, but i remember some very windy days at loveland last season and the one before. Perhaps i'll come ride with you guys next time i come out. I hope you are all doing well.

    The back knee being driven into the front knee was another characteristic of the time. Burton bindings then included a cant plate, I used to run cant on the back foot. These days most folks use toe or heel lift, cant is uncommon. 

    my body is weird. I use a little bit of inwards cant on my back foot and i have both boot cuffs canted inwards (upz). 6/6 lift. It's the only way i'm able to achieve a neutral balanced stance while carpet carving. Works for me.

    Ohh, I knew It will come from such person as you.


    So, I post a video and you will find that you loose to me in everything including technique and speed , what you will do? Does this automatically will make all my statements true, and you will say that everything you said was ... (put any bad word here)? Depending on your answer I may consider to compare length of our sticks 🤣

    P.S. I thought that you adult person... You made my day. 🤣

     

    as stated by @Corey i don't understand why you are being so confrontational here. We haven't even met and you are making assumptions that i want to see your riding just to critique it and call you out on something you said or didn't. I also corrected myself in an earlier post by saying that by sliding i meant the small jump in between turns. For the record i'd never offer up critique of anyone's riding unless it's a thread specifically titled "critique my riding". I don't care what style you ride or how anyone carves their turns. I just want too see some awesome riding that's all. nobody is trying to compare "sticks" here. 🙄

    i have learned so much just by watching these slow motion reels. Good stuff. I wish he would publish the regular speed versions of them. I couldn't find them last time i looked.

    Good summer 2021 material 🙂
    As a mere mortal: Free carve is what I am after

    race car(F1) is impressive blend of engineer marvel and athleticism but most ppl will likely to crash lol.
    Race carve is about keep speed up but my heart can't handle it at turning it up to 11 all the time.

    Is that bruce at 9:21?

    And answer about "jumping". Yes, it is big part of racing technique to be unweighted between turns as much as possible. This allows to put board at much higher angle, make very tight turns, and control speed very very efficiently. The more you fly - the better you ride 😀

    So this is what i was specifically talking about, jumping into the next turn. When he lands out of the jump he is pushing snow before establishing the next carve and sliding a little bit in the direction of that jump. i wasn't referring to the typical sliding turns you see a lot of snowboarders doing.

    What a joke!!!   Annual sales of 135k and they want to value the company at 5M???  Unless the factory they own sits on land worth 4.8M, there's no value here.  But hey, at least you get a free t-shirt...

    lol yeah. They think they are a tech company. maybe they plan on a SaaS offering. Snowboard as a Service?

    Great riding! It is the way GS boards meant to be ridden 👍. Great example of controlling the speed without braking using limbs or going up the hill 😀.

    hmm, but i do see him go uphill a few times to scrub speed. Does the GS style involve jumping the transition into a small slide that then transitions into a carve? Or is this just the technique that he's using on a steep run? That's what i can see he is doing and also why he sprays a lot of snow. (correct me if i'm wrong) Definitely awesome riding!

    Took the split up Milk...about a foot of coverage, some more Snow expected this week and Milk will open Fri. staying away from Aspen and Snowmass so far, as very minimal snow conditions prevail...

    I will most likely join you at some point this season depending how things play out. My favorite runs of all time are the runs in snowmass off the big burn chair.

    Looks like progress. Nice work.

    It's not covid. But that's a discussion for later. 🙂

    I'm ok discussing now. Your feedback has been crucial in getting my setup in a stable place. 🙂 I'll start with a few things i noticed, you tell me if i'm on the right path:

    • Lagging outside shoulder on heelside?
    • Not enough articulation at hips which is why it looks like i'm just kind of tipping from one turn into another?
    • I should probably stack a bit more towards the nose and initiate the transitions earlier.

    That's all i got, but i must say i'm pretty happy with my riding and at least my current technique lets me deal with snow irregularities and recovering from hitting soft or icy patches suddenly. 

  23. Music for carving to - and to improve your performance

    Did you know that you can adjust the volume on most audio devices? 😉 😋 I have mine quite low, to the point that I can barely hear it over wind noise while moving. 

    😛 when i listen to music, it's all i want to hear. Low volumes are a no go for me. 

    Perhaps when i make it back out to aspen on a weekday and i have a very sparsely populated run, i'll experiment with some music again. Whenever i go for an outdoor or indoor run, i absolutely need some type of music between 170-180 bpm to help me keep cadence for my "barefoot-style" running. (zero drop heel shoes that promote for/mid-foot strike instead of heel strike)

    i once experimented riding with music. My first gen airpods work great for my ear anatomy. They fit very snug and won't budge even when running or jumping rope. they stay in place with my helmet on. Riding with music freaked me out for reasons discussed above. I'm already super paranoid about getting hit from behind. Or also the very odd chance that someone is trying to yell at me to warn me about the Lion or Bear that is chasing me.

    Would make a nice ad for the Nirvana model. You're riding with an easy balanced style, a minimum of arm movement, & moderate radius turns. A still at 0:18 shows a beautiful sinuous track.
    Jealous I have to wait till August to ride my Nirvana T4 Energy.

    Thanks!

    The t4 is great. It has amazing edge hold which i think has boosted my confidence level and allowed me to ride faster and more aggressively.
