My guess is that’s about the same % of softbooters that watch, or have any interest in, pure, S-turn, pencil line carving!
In my past 200, or so, trips to Crystal I have observed only one other snowboarder attempting serious carving
Since the first moment I watched Pure Carve (VHS) in about 2000 I’ve thought pure carving was the coolest thing on planet earth BUT none of my ski buddies, children or their spouses nor my grandchildren, most of whom are snowboarders, have any interest in it whatsoever…blows my mind but I will press on until I can’t almost always by myself at Crystal!
Hard, soft, 55/55, 30/20, duck, steep, flat…I couldn’t care less so long as the goal is connecting pencil line S turns!
Having just become aware of James and Lars on YouTube and having Ryan thrown into the mix on one of those vids has been revolutionary for me! A total values clarification!
I’m on a ten year plan, i.e. win another Big Head of the Charles medal when I’m 85 and 90…LOL…a lot of moving parts to accomplish that AND connect as many S shaped pencil line turns as I can before I can no longer pick my ass up when I fall over on a flat surface in the lift line…that can be problematic!
