Gecko Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I have a copy in my not so little very cold hands...After finding the things I was looking for I was assigned pack mule duty for my wife's 100yen shopping (it would take too long to explain) while waiting I noticed a Magazine shop up one escalator...I wandered to pass the time and what do I see???? One last copy of Carve Magazine on the shelf...some beautiful carving photos (I included one below). Its cool that there is a magazine like this available...even if it's in a language that I neither read nor understand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Nice action shot, but I don't like that Albatros (arms) style. Typical Japanese, I think. Greets, Hans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Sub Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 but do we have to comment each and every time? that woman looks like she is totally in control, and making a technically sound turn its not like she's flapping her arms around all over oh, and btw...who says its in japan? she's certainly not japanese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Dasai Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I also like the second shot. Damn, gotta wait almost 2 months for snow here.

Gecko Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 It's so rare that carving would be in a magazine one would think that one could enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thomas_m Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I was thinking the same thing. Can't be the blond hair. My wife's Japanese and her hair is purple half the time... The day I rail a turn like that is the day I start criticising the spread arms (=probably never). T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Can't wait for the season to begin... On a side note there are no adds for nor is there a review of any R17's. I guess Burton has finally backed out of Alpine completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy45c Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Originally posted by Hans but I don't like that Albatros (arms) style. Typical Japanese, I think. Just wonder.. what's wrong for the arm style? Spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stoked Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 okay please post some contact info for that magazine!! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikytheripster Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Technically there is nothing wrong as long as the uphill hand is held high and downhill arm/hand low. It could be argued that as your arms are out you are reducing your effective mass that you are using to pressurize the edge-however this is minimal and people will argue balancve is improved with this posture. With regards to style, thats personal, do it if you think it rocks and dont if you think it sucks, simple. Seems to work for CMC and from what i've heard he's quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Someone please explain to me how one can reduce mass by putting your arms in a certain position. Atkins schmatkins, I'll be rich!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCrider Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 if you move your arms up and down fast enough you will experience weightlessness. feathers help!! or arms held out in glider fashion with aerofoil sleeves and go very,very fast!! but you're right Jack, your mass still wouldn't change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stoked Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 sounds like the Red Bull air show where people fly their own way well actually they all fly the same way pretty much into the water if anyone knows what I'm talking about :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 heh. down and WET, huh! Im still stickin to the argument that the person in the picture is in control and rockin it, and that as gecko said maybe some should be a little less analytical about things. its badass that theres a magazine devoted to carving!

I don't matter about the Albatros style which is shown here, I just find it very ugly to see. Everybody his own style, push and pull with bodyrotation and arms along your body, I like the most. Only using arms and hands to reach and straighten your body in the turn. http://www.extremecarving.com/photos/03html/p02_03.html Nice there is a magazine addicted to carving!

Guest stoked Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 surely the way my carving was all about I try to vary it as much as my skills permit now but no Extremecarving like in the link picture yet :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greets, Hans hans we all know what "you guys" think is "right" for carving my point is, why do you feel it necessary to criticisize? It's not always necessary.
