Jack M Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 needanswer - I think this is the first time I have ever said this: Just go ride. Philfells' comment (quoted at the bottom of Phil's post) sums up my attitude about rotation quite nicely. Don't worry about this rotation/counterrotation stuff for now. You said yourself that you're a beginner carver. This is really heady stuff you shouldn't be worrying about for probably a few years. For now I think your goals should be consistently being able to change edges with the board pointing across the fall-line and starting your next carve on the downhill edge. After you can do that, try to master cross-over, cross-under, and cross-through techniques. I predict once you do that, you'll find you won't even need to revisit this subject. Above all, have fun.

kjl Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 needanswer - I think this is the first time I have ever said this: Just go ride. Ha ha ha! I think of myself as one of the nerd kings of pedantic physics discussions regarding snowboarding, but I was just thinking the same thing! You've already got too much to think about when you go carving, so go ride ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I have a short attention span; riding the lift I'll be thinking :rolleyes: about techniques while going down I forget everything and "just ride" :D thanks for all the advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
