My Gear List

In this video I've got five shortcuts that will make your snowboard carving turns easier!

That was the best graphical presentation of a side-cut I have ever seen. Great video.

[ConspiracyRangr]

Great Video! A couple of these I had not heard and I’ve watched a ton of these carving videos lately

[chuck__van]

Body position is the thing I've ebeen thinking about most recently. I tend to lean out to far sometimes .

[VanGtfogh]

I adjusted my high backs from 0 to 4 and it made turning on my heel edge WAY harder. My board was way less responsive but it improved my toe edge turns considerably. Basically the opposite of what’s described here

A cambered board is pretty much a necessity. You can carve on a rocker but the faster you go the more sketchy it will get.

[El-Berto]

This storm in Tahoe is never gonna don't know if that's good or bad because I am itching to try out powder bashes and carve some deep pow

[andrewscott]

What is the best we to transition from beginner sliding turns to carving? I'm a new snowboarder and can link turns but hate the feeling of the board washing out. Any advice?

[johnnywang]

heel side is way more easier than toe side for me for some reason. Also adjustng forward lean of the highback beyond F2 makes it way harder to step on.

Jo Kevin, I've been watching your videos since I started riding in 2016 or so, and want to send some love for all your help along the ride, thanks 🫶🏻
Now that I have a new, cambered board and some stiffer boots I can do some carves too 😍 not quite knapton lvl yet, but we'll get there 🌝

[devinharwood]

Curious, what are your forward lean settings?

[jordanmorrow]

My high backs range from 0-3, I currently have it one 2, should I move it on 3 or keep it on 2, I currently can stand straight up and the back of my boot is flat with the high back

[Koobmeej_Vang]

Tip #2 is nice but I think toe carves are definitely harder. Especially for new snowboarders.

[miguelmoralllamas]

Which number do you have your strata highback adjusted for carving ?

[fudhater]

Kevin, did you move to Tahoe? Or are you heading back to Whistler at some point?

[fudhater]

If you have Step Ons you don't need to worry about forward lean as the boot is actually part of the binding when connected.

[weltrogg]

"Giving you more speed" - thanks.... I dont need more speed. While carving speed is anyway too high! High speed = less control, less clear movements and not pretty moves. And I hate speed.

Hey Mate thanks for the tips
He whats the best angles to run on my bindings for that carving/surfy style?
Cheers
