  5. UPZ RC10 vs Deeluxe Track 700

    I use RCR Box springs. Works great:
    - You do not have to lock/unlock (walk mode) springs.
    - RCR Box contains 3 springs of different stiffness, so you can adjust stiffness without limiting max travel.
    - Max travel a bit bigger.

    Spring vs Tongue. Tongue has more of static stiffness, Spring is progressive. 
     

    When I use orange spring with dark grey tongues, it is quite hard on shin of the back leg, but makes toe side turns more powerful. Black spring relives quite a bit of pressure off shin (even with dark grey tongue), but you loose a little bit in control.

    Ledecka charges out of the gate and has to drift the first few turns, and then fully carves the rest.

    She was charging hard. To me it looked like she lost edge in the second turn because of the really rough course there, drifted as a result, and then it took her couple turns to fully recover. So, it could be that drifts were unintentional. Or maybe my assumption is wrong... She rides amazing regardless.
    That's why racing technique is my favourite. Gives lots of stability, and chance to recover, and... you do not have watch up the hill constantly 😂.

    That's fine... Therefore please specify that this is the most "Fun" video not the best "Carving" video. This is "Carving" forum, and some people here are too serious about this word here (I am talking about myself) 🤪🤣

    I really would love to see a mix of both the Rain Dogs and the Blue videos; hardbooters railing groom, slashing and riding pow - something that would get people thinking 'all mountain hb'. 

    I hate to say that, but the best all around snowboard is - ski 🤣.  And second thing I hate to say - it is not a joke...

    For myself I found Contra with BX shape (wide, 167cm) is the most versatile board. But still can not compare with specialized powder board or race SL/GS board for groomers.

    The bum in the air is a pretty much the snow surf carving style where there is little to no extenstion during the carve its put it up on edge and let board just run its side cut. part of the reason is these boards are often pretty soft powder shapes so dont take kindly to alot of force being put through them through out the turn, meaning there going to decamber massively and probably fairly unevenly if you try to do the down unweighted/cross under style that your a fan of.  basically the boards are dictate that style of riding.

    Yep agree - not greatest boards for carving. Last time (first day of this season) I tried to carve my regular board, I put it too high on edge (as I used to put my alpine boards),  the board made 1m radius turn under me, but my body continue going into the same direction as before the turn LOL. The result was - nice show for spectators and a cracked rib 🤪🙃. This did not stopped me from riding though 🤣...

    There are amazing videos of riders with great technique, who really can carve anything. Unfortunately most of the snowboarders only bombing down the hill 🤮, and do not know how to use edge, so I am not surprised that younger people do not care about technique 😢.

    Great video! However, not very great example of carving technique 🤪. Especially toe edge technique is so broken (inverse angulation, see notes below)... All videos from them are on "hero" snow, I doubt that they can successfully carve very hard packed or icy snow using such technique.

    See the screenshot. Being so close to the ground, the board should be at 80deg+ with good angulation. With "reverse" angulation it is probably at 45deg.
