ekar Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 made my first atempt at carving last week @ Blue. Mnt. didn't go as well as I had hoped, attempted turning as explained on extreme carving video clips / rotating upper body then waiting for the board to follow, should I be appling my weight on the front foot, or kicking the the board out with my rear foot, or balanced on both? any advice would be appreciated thanks eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubz Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Next time give us a heads up. If I am going to be on the hill, I would be more than happy to offer a few on hill pointers. As I was learning on hill advice went about 1000x better than electronic teaching. Keep low binding angles to start. Early on toe and heel drag wont be an issue then as you get the concept, angles and go up little by little. I would also start with big open arcs, by "tilting", tight arcs and deep carving will not come right away. Its not as ez as JBS makes it look:biggthump What board are you on? That can be influencial.

David B Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Do you ride Thurs days or nights. I usually can only get out weekday nights. I have about a season and a half in hard boots. These guys are great teachers, they've sure helped me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
