Carving 101 carving is when you're
0:15
edging the board and your back foot
0:19
follows the exact same path as your
0:21
front foot less rotation. & if you were to look down
0:23
in the snow
0:25
the you're not actually skidding you
0:27
would actually see a nice tiny little
0:29
line where your edge's making, so the
0:31
higher the edge angle the sharper the
0:34
carve is going to make and we want to try to
0:37
learn how to carve so that we can carry
0:40
our speed and especially when we're
0:44
snowboarding we need to have that speed
0:46
to get through flat part so instead
0:49
of maybe doing a bunch of skids
0:54
and causing a lot of friction and
0:56
a lot of bleed off we
0:59
can actually carve and still be turning
1:01
and having rhythm and carry our speed
1:05
A good drill to to practice carving
1:08
is the circle drill so if I can
1:12
carry enough speed down the fall line
1:15
and then start turning up the mountain
1:18
and I keep keep coming up coming up and
1:20
can make a complete circle then that's
1:23
really only done if you're able to hold
1:25
an edge or carve. If you're at first not
1:27
able to make a complete circle carry
1:30
enough speed and start turning up
1:32
the mountain and that's pretty much like
1:35
a j-turn if you carry enough speed
1:38
you're going to be able to make a
1:40
complete circle and you need to be able
1:43
to edge tilt the board more so the real
1:46
focus on carving is lifting your edge
1:49
angle up a little bit higher and not
1:54
allowing that back foot that to come out
1:56
and skid or rotate and its really good to have a
2:00
nice wide open trail that's been groomed
2:04
to start carving on you don't want to
2:06
have a trail that's really narrow or lot
2:09
of obstacles and bumpy or lots of traffic the optimal place
2:12
to practice carving is somewhere that's
2:14
more gradual. I usually like to have somewhere
2:17
that's a little bit more steep than a green
2:20
but not too much
2:22
of a blue so somewhere like a mild blue run
2:27
or sometimes even green runs but you
2:31
really want to make sure that you have a
2:33
wide open trail because if you're
2:34
starting to to make a big turn and
2:37
you're coming up and turn up the slope
2:40
you want to be safe so a good wide open
2:43
trail that's groomed not a lot of
2:46
obstacles and bumps or traffic.
