jatkinson Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi All, I like to watch carving videos the night before a day on the mountain. I find myself coming back to the same video over and over. Wondering what the collective feels is the ultimate carving video to get pumped up before heading out For me it is https://youtu.be/MC7HWs3kPjs Interested in others to check out Cheers, JJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st_lupo Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I like that Sigi video, and I know of a few others that love that video. My current favorite is still: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhShRKlz5lQ . But maybe that is mainly to get brownie points from the people on BOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapos Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) There is many more carving plug ins Have a watch and follow the lead on the Japanese. Completely different riding style. Really really like it. That Sigi video is part of Installer 11. Nevin has a great part on that video as well but can't find it on tube.

FrankNBeans Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 What a fun topic and excuse me for being long-winded and drifting into tangents. Years ago, my only exposure to hard boot boarding was Bauer and Nerva, in Burton or Warren Miller flicks, or Damian Sanders doing double bone-out stale fish grabs. For me, neither was appealing. There had to be a sweet spot. Then I saw 'Northern Rage' at a skate shop. That flick connected the dots. Thank you VHS(and now, YouTube). In part one, hard boots are in the first seven minutes. In part two, hard boots are on-and-off the entire video. The Sanders' video isn't very long. ***bonus: Can anyone name the game show Sanders was on(I can't find a video of it, on the 'net) ? Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I wouldn't change a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Mid 1990's, Pure Cave, Aspen. You can learn a lot watching these guys. Non-aggressive fluid style, with power, and grace, completing turns and mixing it up. Feels a lot more relaxed compared some of the current videos, taking the time to complete some turns. 50 minutes long, two old video tapes converted to digital, so some loss of image quality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Bigwavedave, love the video, chatted to Joe Turner. (Purecarve team rider video 2) at the top of the Tiehack chair the week before ATC 2017. Love the forward facing stance, both heel and toeside, almost all of the riders use. I aim to ride the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Anyone know of 'Shredwood Hoods', from the very early nineties? It had some great 'just off Piste' late-season carving over wind-packed wavelets...Also, I should note Mark Fawcett, or Jeremy Jones (not the Burton Jones, but the Carabasset graduate Jones that now makes boards under his own name), and, Rocket Reeves...

Nice !! 2 thumbs up !! makes me want to dust off my alpine gear again :). I like extreme carving only when it comes natural (from g-forces) not not some contrived dive for the snow (which is the case with soft boot carving). Ok, god can do it on a hero day. But you know, everybody else can't :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polaris Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 For carving, I'm inspired by BroScienceLife O'Chang Comics Beastie Boys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jatkinson Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thanks for all the replies. Work went crazy and I haven't had time to check in until now (bad website!). I love the variety, but can't get my head around those narrow stances and body positions of the 90s videos. I am now all set to go rip up Whistler tomorrow.

SunSurfer Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Some of us ride with that 90s body position (body facing forward heelside and toeside) now, but with wider stances. (this video is not intended to be inspiring ;-)) Edited April 9, 2017 by SunSurfer link video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably watched those videos a hundred times back in the day, then in the late '90's I made the pilgrimage to Buttermilk. After a run one day, a guy approached me in the lift line with a camera- turned out to be Cliff Ahumada. We rode the lift up, chatted, and he asked me if he could film me making some turns on my skinny Mistral. The footage ended up in "Carve On", Cliff's third carving film. I was pretty honored to have the guy whose boarding I'd tried to emulate for years ask to film me.
