    Useful content and nicely made video! However, I find it odd that you refer to donwnunweighted turns as the one true "advanced carve". They're note necessarily more advanced they're just a differnet style. There's people doing very advanced carves using upunweighted turns. People doing fast hard carves down blacks which wouldn't be possible with a downunweighted ("advanced") carves. Saying that downunweighted turns are "better and more advanced" and that upunweighted turns are only for beginners is spreading misinformation. I don't want to sound like I'm dismissing the information your sharing, I appriciate it and it is useful. But it should be framed in the correct way, as a tool in your toolbox as an advanced rider and not as the best way of carving. Go watch some James Cherry or Lars at The Justaride Snowboard Channel. They largely do advanced upunweighted turns and personally I prefer that style to the deep squated, bent at the hips to touch the snow style that you do. That's just personal preference, rock on and enjoy what you enjoy just please be aware theres more than one way to carve advanced.

      Of course. There's no black and white definition of what "advanced" really is for carving. James and Lars have their downweighted forward stance style which works perfectly for them. However, what I talk about in this video certainly is a more advanced movement than just squatting and holding a carved, or at least I think so, at least in relevance to the duckstance style of basic carving. Again, there is no true definition of "advanced carving", so I made my own. Thank you for your thoughts and comments!

    This is good. Last week, I took a class at Whislter, the instructions explained the importance of maintaining pressure. Now, your explanation is totally make sense.

    Amazing video!! Ive always had a feel for down unweighted turns but now i can actually explain them! Mix up those different carve types based on the terrain and riding style and get that steeze.

    Hi Seung, I learned to touch snow on the heel side from your videos. Thank you so much for making the great videos. Right now, I'm a little confused about the toe side though. I think my style is more like you, but I feel it lacks of angulation demonstrated from other people's videos. Have you thought about it? Thanks.

    I think use risers for binding are better than buy super wide deck, because wide decks are slower, especially when u move from backside edge to frontside, for example hard board with hard boots are all have narrow waist, if feets are big you should add riser. What do u think about this?

    • @shmsnow
      @shmsnow  9 місяців тому +1

      Risers are totally great alternatives. I just completely forgot about them.

    Great vid! Does a posi posi angle give you less control in chunder, gulleys, icy conditions where you'll need to skid or kick the back foot out intermittently?

      The pattern is general and doesn't have to adhered too 100%, it is adjusted according to steepness/conditions.
