Notice the way his bindings are set up. He has both toes pointed in the direction of travel. This allows his body to be in a much better position to control these high speed carves and get his weight in the right place. This setup is arguably the most important part of carving like this !!
Humm good snowboarders could carve any board in any kind of stance. Just not holding the same speed as with a good set up. In the end it is just about putting the board on the edge with angle and pressing it.
It’s very interesting to see something explained that I’m doing subconsciously. This will definitely give me something to think about when carving switch.
Fascinating! I always felt more stable when I rode/carved with open shoulders but I confused having open shoulders with counter rotating my turns, so I tried to get away from it and ride with my shoulder pointing forward, but now I'm realizing I was just carving with open shoulders!
They wear out to some degree over time. But as long as you maintain it in good conditions, wax it once in awhile, and don't get it in accidents that damage it, it should still perform well enough. The only question is more are you still having as much fun with it now as a couple years ago? Or do you wanna try something else, maybe a bit more advanced now that you're a more experienced rider? But if you're still having a blast with it, there's no imperative to change it
Only open your shoulders if you have an alpine stance like him. If you are in a neutral or duck stance, keep your shoulders in alignment with hips, knees, and board.
Yes you are right. But on a duckstance, if you want to deep heelside carve and get your hand to the snow, you need to open your shoulders as well. Riding posi posi / duckstance are different technique
Imagine sitting next to this legend and getting lessons!
People often overlook how important the shoulder and the neck movements are in snowboarding. I think about my gaze and shoulders as my wheel lol😅

Shit you could keep your hands in your pockets and still make the same turn's

@@erbesnard notice the part where I said "control high speed carves"

Worm learned a lot that day.
Now I'm gonna tell my friends JJ taught me how to carve. 😊
Thanks for the tips I needed that
Where can i find full length videos like this one?
Was this the 6000 or 9000 on action
Wasn't looking when I scrolled to this and I was so sure it was Norm McDonald giving turning lessons
Crazy good camera angle
This is cool. Can you please expand on this, and make a video on how to practice black diamond more variable barely groomed freeride type of turns*.
Can you do one for toe side please?
Very beautiful, little "alpine" move... 🙏👌🏂👊 What is your stance angles and width?
Thanks ❤
He’s in snowboarding school going down the run schoolyard 😂
Which Freecarver you‘re riding here? 6000 or 9000? Thx
Trying to teach my wife and daughter. I'll see if this will help them. I tend to have a hard time teaching someone. 😕
This is more of a deep carving technique, most beginners have more trouble on their toe turn. Give it a go though why not
What angle do you run your bindings?
What are you riding?
The new freecarver
@@vhex61 thanks
I’ve been on the same board for over 10 years. Should I invest in a new one? Do they wear out over time? The base still looks surprisingly good

6 or 9000?
Why open shoulders?
A slalom board does help…..
Only open your shoulders if you have an alpine stance like him. If you are in a neutral or duck stance, keep your shoulders in alignment with hips, knees, and board.
Even in duck stance the opening of the shoulders is used. Don't give advice if you don't know your stuff.
Which board exactly is that ?
Looks like a hovercraft
It’s the new freecarver
I’m confused now, other snowboarders on UA-cam say don’t ride with open shoulders…
he has double positive stance
Yes you are right. But on a duckstance, if you want to deep heelside carve and get your hand to the snow, you need to open your shoulders as well.

Weird seeing him on a groomer
Dont know...i know hes a master but you can see his tooesides maybe not as tight because his shoulder is open...close it on the toe.
