Andrey, good as the video is, watching you in action in real life at the Aspen sessions was a pleasure.

It's true that video doesn't give like reality, whatever the rider, to see him do Extremecarving with his own eyes, by taking into account the speed, the slope, the quality of snow and his head so close to the snow, it gives shivers 

[Poll: Is EC Style/Body Dragging Not Good Form?]

 

Hello everyone,

Very interesting this post and this debate on the EC even if it is true that the question is very badly put, there are no good / bad style of carving, there are some who prefer freestyle, others freeride, others race, others EC etc.... still it is necessary to manage to make correctly backflipe in freestyle or backside lying in Extremecarving...

First of all, my name is Seb Henri and I am an Extremecarving Instructor, I am based in France and I do Camps in France, Europe, China, Japan etc... I meet many people with different levels, different mentalities and different riding desires. The goal is above all to have fun while riding, that's the most important thing.

The big mistake is to want to compare Extremecarving to another form of practice of snowboarding, for example Race is a technique to go as fast as possible down the track through imposed gates, in Freeride it's to take the most beautiful and dangerous slope line, in halfpipe, in boardercross, in freestyle, in Extremecarving... all is different. The race, the Carving and the Extremecarving do not have the same objective and therefore a different technique with a different desire. Personally I ride in hardboots and softboots and I love doing everything, flat, carving, little jumps, faki, EC and of course I will adapt my technique which will be totally different.

The most important thing is the pleasure of riding  

Making beautiful curves, linking frontside and backside turns lying with the head 2cm from the snow, sensations guaranteed while controlling its direction and speed especially on black slopes, and all with outstanding precision, that's why many people want to try the ExtremeCarving.

Hello West Carven,

Yes you're right depending on the snow the style is different, I come from freeride and I like boardercross style, but when you do carving and you manage to put your head in the snow while keeping control of your board on the edge at full speed and by linking turns, it gives great sensations, especially in Backside
The technique is different, the best is to ride in freeride mode then do carving, a few turns in ExtremeCarving mode, do 2 or 3 small jumps, have fun doing everything what...
