1xsculler Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Kirk is my SES, ATC and Montuckey right here at home so I don’t even have to board a plane. This guy has been laying down pencil-line trenches since the earliest days of pure carving(prior to 1990 I think) and I am going to try to follow him down Quicksilver which will motivate and teach me the trick to get me over the hump. We’ve got two hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1xsculler Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I made two good instructive runs with Kirk today and learned some things. 1. He has been carving seriously since 1993 (I didn’t know anybody carved much before 2000). No wonder he is so solid, and 2. He told me I am too critical of myself and that I may only want to twerk a few details. I think I can calm down a little and just continue to persue aggressive riding. I will post a vid as soon as I can for your critique. Another great day at Crystal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Got to see you twerking and carving at the same time! Good to hear you're feeling like you're actually getting somewhere in your riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) My signature turn was coming off the cat track under Rex and swinging a huge turn around the tower. Chair 9 offers fun fast easy groomers early in the day but I always loved laying out steep carves on pro course right after master Groomer Bruce winched it...launching into little Portillo was always awesome too Edited January 19, 2019 by slopestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great feeling when you hit it right. It can be fun in the spring when it's a little softer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
