barryj Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) This is so Good I gotta post it again here! 2014 Olympic Silver Medalist Nevin Galmarini Is Tha Man and Boils Slalom Down to the Essentials in this Video! AND If you don't remember in the Sochi Olympics Quarter Finals he got thrown out of his line and should have crashed but instead of giving up he rode SWITCH! (on a Slalom Board! at Mach I !!) through the next gate, Recovered and still Won! That's So Badd Ass!! He's is so smoove! His words and these images make a lot of sense to me. FYI at .10 you can see he's riding a modified Bomber BTS! Edited January 25, 2018 by barryj 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like the Damien Sanders of softboot carving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching multiple videos I have been observing what looks like a forward twist in the upper body in the direction of the turn as the board moves from down the fall line across the slope. I have not been able to pin the down cleanly, thinking that maybe camera angle is playing a role (error of carvallax?) but watching this video, between 2:00 and about 2:30 when Nevin is driving and accelerating I see it clearly in the movement of his right hand forward and across / towards the front of the board. Is this typical and is its purpose acceleration or adding pressure to the edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKnapton Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 The Russian guy on hard-boots with a freestyle board has been a fan of my vids for years. I'm stoked to see his progression into a more powerful form and getting smoother and smoother with it. Previously he was on a normal freestyle board (of today), which was way too soft and noodley IMO. On this board and setup and his progression, I cant wait to see how those same tricks and carving look by the end of the year. Anyways... I can't truly say its 'worth watching'.. lol. but got back on an alpine setup a couple days ago, and it's so much easier when its better snow! :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he carves better than most Burton riders, so, there's that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoonyMcGroomer Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) This is INCREDIBLE... I never knew that Davy Jones was a hardbooter. Beware the Kraken! Edited February 21, 2018 by SkoonyMcGroomer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 howdy you need to micro adjust your hardboot stance to ducky... or you will never ride like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
