Teaching how to snowboard, carving

[C3RR3RTYSON]

you needa practice your heel edge a bit more ! i just started snowboardin too its hecka fun

[SnowmanMr199]

i was on that and past on my 1st day

[Runetone]

Thats a basic drift turn not carving

[Kash130]

not carving

[DirtDogWutang]

I love how people claim they did linked turns on their first run ever and were able to carve on their second day. Humanely impossible.

[JIM50]

@DirtDogWutang Your right but depends on what you call a day you can go take lessons for 4 hours take a break and start boarding by yourself so It is possible you just need Motivation

[bunnyangel97]

it's been a year and i still don't get how to do it :/

[slckofit]

Damn that's a great slope for practicing. This isn't carving, more like regular linking turns. Great job, took me about three days to start getting the hang of it too.

[bearderific]

that is such a nice open path lol

[TheAmericanWhimp]

does carving make you go faster or slower...?

[ninjasan11]

@TheAmericanWhimp slower

[ALTadamALT]

i was hitting rails on my 4th day :)

[klausisense]

i bet his hands are freezing

[whobestupid]

looks too flat for good carving.

[skstepunk12727]

dude!!!! I SAW MYSELF ON THE LIFT HOLD SHIT!

[Robironman]

crazy MF, at 1:02 he nearly crashed into that skier

[alvarezah]

@Robironman lmao i saw that..cut him off

[AziZune]

Lol you so cut that skiier off, or at least it looked like it...but at least you got out of his way quickly

[WeTripOnFlatSurfaces]

Dude! I just went to the snowbowl 4 months ago! lol its sweet terrain park mannnn

[CADpimp]

That's not carving.

[SimanSimanS]

just some s turns

[respk1]

carving? o_O

[pkmcbster]

knees not bent, shoulders not square, not enough speed, not enough edge lean. Im done with my lesson

[whitebrov]

not carving

[sirbunt]

Dude...!!!

You are NOT carving

carving is riding on the ege of youre board...

If you see youre track that is wide

if you care youre track is a fine line in the snow...

Good luck learing how to carve...

[playergrl510]

Dats not carving dude, its skidding.

[ren774]

I learned how to carve my second day on a snowboard. the faster you go the easier it gets. Snow boarding is easy. But i also skate board and wake board too!!

[milkmoustach]

Yea, I carved a tiny bit at the end of my first day and I don't skateboard or anything, It really helps if you have friends that know how to do it. I got heelside and toe side down after my first run. Youtube helps too!

[nutts4butts]

k thats not carving..

[usergroupX]

wow i would love to blast straight down this slope ,, where is it?

[warnjoke]

lol what a noob .. i learned snowboarding in 5 days and i do it better like him :D

[mideviltimes]

@warnjoke well im sorry to say if you read the description it says this is his third day of snowboarding

[MariuszChw]

5 days! WoW! Then you're really professional snowboarder compare to him...

[thugdoutDUNN]

why does it seem like all the snowboarders on youtube are such haterz!?

[Yellowknight888]

There are many assholes in the world, some of them are snowboarders, others are non-snowboarders.

The guy is not doing carving nonetheless.

[Yamahaphone]

@Yellowknight888 haha after y second day of snowboarding I cann barely do the S turns

[shadowofcalistis]

@thugdoutDUNN I would guess because this guy isnt carving at all, those are sliding turns. But for a third day its very impressive

[marcespinosa]

menudo matao!!

[daytontee]

where is that?

[orser506]

great skidding

[MovingTargetOne]

Wish i'd had a slope like that to learn on, i got one hour lesson yesterday, then all green slopes were closed today an yesterday, was fine in less steep bits, but steep bits kicked my ass =(

[m0n3y1992]

haha i need to learn how to do that.

[ClatterCH]

-.- you have to be faster, then it will work maybe...

[StrengthFromAbove83]

not carving at all. he needs to stop twisting and bending over on the toe side. and use more flexion and extension when transitioning between toeside and heelside.

[Nowheremovies]

this is not carving. You tend to push with your back foot while switching from heels to toes and toes to heels, plus, in carving you are really really inclined . anyways these were just tips I'm not saying you're not godd or whatsoever, for 1 year experience you're way better than other people that snowboarded for 1 year. It's hard to explain it in english. Keep up the good work you're doing great. it's just not carving

[Phillifully]

des hat net viel mit Carving zu tun... ;o) sorry

[soxeyer]

better than i can do

[VRTO92]

what the fuck??!!!?!?

this is less than bassics ..

but this isn't carving :@

[thesevenrider]

that is not carving

[esquared12]

is that snowbowl? looks exactly like the bunny hill at snowbowl

[looloo77130]

who is the teacher ?

[italia667]

those are garbage carves

[JonnyChongo]

Keep it up! ARIZONA SNOWBOWL KICKS ASS!!!

[mizthewiz1]

seriously, i like it wayyy more than sunrise

[harpsaxbassman]

yea I was around that level by my third day

[happynuts]

@harpsaxbassman yea me too! infact by day 1 you get a hang of it, day 2 is more for self exploration, daring to do sharp turns etc, and day 3 you're a smooth confident safe rider!

[trevdog110]

@happynuts so true, i just finished my second day of snowboarding today and I was going down black diamonds. I go slowly, but i can carve on my toes and heels both ways

[jonboarder1]

dude thts skid turning... great CARVING THRE :S watch my vid for carveing.....

[linathequeen]

wow it's his third day and so good already?!

[drumm3rboy1989]

im just that good of a teacher ^_^ aha

[Soggycorndogs]

What's the location of this? Background looks really nice lol

[Str00niE]

@linathequeen and he sis it last year :3

[Himuneasy]

how do u turn while carving?

[Smartmax79]

THATS not carving !!!!

[X150RiderX]

then what is it?

(dumbass)

[Smartmax79]

Dont call me dumbass I wouldnt call you like that ? Look at this you tube Video "Raceboarding NOT Snowboarding!!!"...this is real carving....what the guy in your video do is just sliding down the hill like a beginner. !

[X150RiderX]

ive been to like 6 lessons and thats is what they told me carving was and how to do it...soo yeah im pretty sure its carving

[Smartmax79]

First you have no Hardboots, second you have not the wright snowboard, need to go more down into your knees a flater angle with your shoes on the board and all you see when you look up the hill youve been driven is one small line in the snow...thats carving ;)

[X150RiderX]

okay i guess... but i would say thats expert carving...but this is still carving..i apologize for calling you a dumbass

[thowmas2]

This is not carving, it's a basic skidded turn. Also, you do not need hardboots or an alpine board to carve. You could easily carve that slope on the setup that guy's riding. when the tip and tail of the board follow the same path (end up with a nice thin trail left behind of maybe a few cm max),that's carving, but whereas a skidded turn like this, is where the tip and tail dont follow the same path (end up with a trail of maybe a foot or so wide, as would be expected on the turns in this vid)

[TehThomaz]

I have to agree.. This is not near carving at all.

[JennaSweeeet]

boo.

i cant even do that.

xD

im gonna learn this yeaar though.

WOO.

[this was pointless]

[KevinKaya]

Ohh, thowmas2 what you said helped me understand, I havn't really understood the difference between carving and skidded turns but now I do.. with carving the board travels the direction your board is pointing, where as in skidded turns the boards goes forward and just slides a bit to the side.. thanks!!

[Exhonour1337]

Not even close to the difference. Both turns are in an S shape. The difference is that when you are carving, you are losing very little speed because you are basically riding on your edge. In skidded turns you are skidding against the snow to slow down with each turn.

[KevinKaya]

Ok thanks, that makes sense as well! :)

[Exhonour1337]

Omg that was the quickest reply Ive ever gotten.

[KevinKaya]

Not quicker than this!

[X150RiderX]

man..that hill is awesome hwere is it?

[bud5mac]

i know lol, its perfect, so much room

[drumm3rboy1989]

Its at Snowbowl in Flagstaff, Arizona

[Brennanian]

lol is that Sol Vista in Co.??

[Bthackrey]

pretty good , stay centered and crouch a little to prevent wash on the turn in ( this allows more angle of attack or lean and puts more preasure on the edges ) you need to pump your self out of the turns this accelerates you out ,hope this helps you on your next outting .. baz

[misspnguyen]

i'm a beginner, but no one's ever taken me to a mtn like that...most of the mtns i see are intimidating. where was this???

[bamsports]

how is he a beginner...it says ``This is my brothers third day snowboarding after a YEAR LATER!!!. He's still got it, but he was a little rusty, So I had to give him some more pointers :)``

[xscrapiron]

That run is huge..where is it

[BCpuma7]

your turning is okay for i beginer i guess but obvoiusly have no control ober where your going

[lacalaw2]

Yeah, he's all-over-the-place. I was doing this same thing in about thirty minutes of every snowboarding. I had experience riding skateboards previously, however.

[scr1be]

you guys are being too harsh. for a third timer ... he's doing just fine "carving". he understands transitioning from toe to heel edge, and although it's not quick and smooth, it's still beginners carving.

[Johnny42819]

exactly

i thought he did fine for a beginner

i was waaaay worse my first times

[cameronclgn3]

such a nice run

[vinctothecut]

False, I have a Rossignol freeride board and I teach snowboard and I carve better with my board than an alp one

[kosshi91]

bad bad bad... this is not a carving! first of all if you want real carving you have to buy a alpin board!

[rcd215]

Bend your knees a lil bit more k?

[jprithvi]

Thats gay. Even on a slope that isolated you managed to get into peoples way.

[antongrendelstein]

that is what's holding me back - looking back up the mountain to make sure i'm not going to cut someone off - then i catch an edge...i need to go during the week

and isn't this more connecting low speed turns rather than carving???

[Zen0xious]

I agree with mrgofastnow, this is not carving at all. There is wasted movement in the washouts when switching and it lacks liquidity and rhythm. You should be making S shapes with very little time in the transfer between effective edges. Don't be discouraged though it will come with time.

[mrgofastnow]

Dude that is not carving! Maybe you need a lesson or more time on the mountain. For the sake of the people on youtube I will not let you lead them to believe that crap in this video is carving! What you have here is beginner basics and barely making turns. Carving is far more dynamic and requires a good deal of skill. We all start as beginners so keep riding and when you guys figure it out post more vids of real carving.

[wutthedee]

hey wut resort dude?

[drumm3rboy1989]

thats snowbowl in arizona

[mrcoolbob2009]

dude thats not carving

[drumm3rboy1989]

for the sake of the people on youtube, lets just call it carving okay? yes, i know its not carving, those are called turns, but it sounds cooler if i call it carving okay?

[LilieBoarder]

This is not carving...!!!

[rasmasyean]

those are skidded turns. Not carves.

[JustAPianoMan]

hey, regardless of what many say, that looks fun, GREAT JOB! I am going on 3rd season and about the same level, good times!

[LittleMook2]

hehe, dude.

its seems your brothers second season.

[EdBalai111]

that's pretty good..but you counter rotate on the toe side turns. so you end up pushing the tail out a bit and therefore almost skid turning..this slows you down..and then also doesn't look as if your turns are flowing into each other...heel side carves are pretty good though

[wcraycroft]

props to the cameraman. I tried filming while snowboarding...its not easy

[ironviking13]

just a pointer, make sure he dosnt counter-rotate his upper body to his board when he goes toeside, because when you do that it slows you waaaaaaay down. thats a technique that is really only necessary on hardcore backcountry runs, not quarter-mile wide groomed slopes.

[scvrush1]

This is not incorrect but it is not carving, he will get it eventually but dont get too comfortable doing this.

OH i know why NoobInaCan says its carving because he probably spends the whole day at the park and not riding the mountain NOOB is an example of the know it alls that you see in every mountain that cant even get off the lift.

[DaveESPI]

Thats a back foot steer, and definately NOT how a snowboard carves.

I relly hope you don't TEACH like that.

PS: See my snowboarding carve videos please

[drumm3rboy1989]

lol im sorry we're not all as pro as you ^_^

[chad889]

how you teaching people to carve?

[NoobInaCan]

yeah he is just doing it. R-tard.

to Carve...the way I learned was to heel-toe.

so you hell your left foot and toe your right foot to go right and vice versa. that little tip helped me a lot.

[scvrush1]

dude dont give lessons thats incorrect heel left toe right? then where is your weight? Your weight should be towards the front and you turn with your shoulders and hips.

[bitchwacky]

dude thats sliding not carving

[drumm3rboy1989]

lol carving/turning

its all good ^_^

[chad889]

lol carving/sliding turning eitheier way your a

dumbass

[zetamafia911]

no offense, but do you call that carving?

[drumm3rboy1989]

we're at snowbowl in flagstaff, arizona

[sk8terboy139]

what mountait are you guys at in this video?

[koalasara]

not enough of drummerboy1989...
