bobdea Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 trying to catch up with me on the pointless post count? ;-) for me the full circles are easiest on medium long boards say about a 180 cm or so I come in at a decent speed start off in a big easy sort of turn when I start to go back up hill I really lay into it' sometimes it works others I just end up almost there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricky Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 C'mon you carvers. I thought there would be many more posts to this thread. The season is almost over, so you have the time to think about this. Thanks. Bricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 That's probably why you're not getting many responses. Check the search out for "360" and it'll lead you to the thread from a few weeks ago. Have fun, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTA2R Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 recently saw it, there's a link off catek boards, it was awesome. === Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Paul Kobbe is great at them, he seems to ride the tail of the board the last part of the arche, and he's done it on shorter boards. I've had better luck on a 170 and 180, but can never do them consistently. I' ve found that it works best on a flater trail, and laying a Eurocarve will just create to much friction and slow you down to much.

pokkis Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Best 360 i've seen is on one of EC films. It is proper 360 with camera on hand :D not any on tail 360:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikytheripster Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 anyone do a heelside 360? Have done toeside but never attempted hs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 rikytheripster I would hate to see this thread end with you asking the same unanswered question that you did the last time this issue popped up. It seems to me that everyone has a preference, but that most guys I know who can carve a circle can do it both ways. I actually prefer a heelside. A lot of my buddies prefer a toeside. My question also still stands: Is there anyone who has carved two circles? I have done it on a pair of demo Volkl slalom skis but never on a board.

gdboytyler Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I've done one (cheater) heelside 360. On the last 60 deg or so, I got on the tail and hopped it around. Haven't tried any toeside. On my completed cheater 360, I used an Oxygen Proton 149 SL, on the flat section at the end of a run with very firm snow. When I tried 360 carves on soft snow, I washed out at the 180 deg mark. I've also tried 360 carves on a Donek FC2 163 and Proton 164 GS. I consistently get further around on the 360 carve attempt with the shorter slalom board.

350 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 the trails at my Mt don't get wide enough to do ma 360. i always end up going into the trees. i did one at Jimmney but barely made it around to finish the carve. i think i have to break out the 152 Xvas to do one ckean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 c'mon 350 - Gore has plenty of places to throw circles. In your avatar for example - you can do them right under that gondola. Just bring that Renntiger 'round.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Tuthill Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Terry English!! He can do em all day long and he does not need a steep to do it. He rides a Hot Balst 168 most of the time. The next time I ride with him, I will ask about heel side?? I just don't remember?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Webster Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Two 360s? That would be great - I'd love to see it. I've done 360 degree turns on toe side and heel side, but I've found that you need just the right combination of two pitches to really do them fully - as in, keep carving when you're done. Otherwise, it's not incredibly difficult to simply connect a single track with itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Tuthill Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hey, I just remembered. A figure 8 !! I have done that. It was on the last pitch on Stump Alley at Mammoth. Under the right conditions you could do a few in the same place. The problem is the traffic from above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikytheripster Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Cheers Phill! Am glad it has been cleared up. Wil give heelside a try. Take it the two circles you wre on about was a fig of 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomo Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I can do a 360 on a pipe board wearing soft boots - toe side or heel side - it's just the diameter of the circle is about 100 ft. Does that count?:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 No figure 8 - I came in to the flat at the bottom of the slope that I was demo'ing the skis going fast. Then I let them rip. I came around quickly and went right back into the line I had just made. The second was slow and kept getting slower. I made it all the way around the second time in the first circle's tracks. "I can do a 360 on a pipe board wearing soft boots - toe side or heel side - it's just the diameter of the circle is about 100 ft. Does that count?" I would say so. It really does not matter what equip. you are on - that is the discussion that we had in the previous thread. Most tools with a modern sidecut will do it.

Guest Tim Tuthill Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hey Chris? Think we could do it on a 197 or Dougs 228?? I think we'd need some room??? Hmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
