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.

Thank you so much for this video with so much information. I saw your video after I bought the outdoor master snowboard edge tuning and hot waxing kit. They provide a file with angles(90,89,88,87) to tune the edge. But in your video you said never use a file to tune edge. I'm a little confused.

Yes, filing is the extremely aggressive option. You want to use diamond stones for polishing the edge, not the file.

It states that there is "..Freestyle Edge Bevel - From detuning the tip and tail to a 2-degree edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut, back to a 3-degree bevel between the feet...". How can I make the transition of the 2 to 3 degree angle? Thanks for the detailed video and your help.

It's a little complex, but slowly section of the parts that are 2 degree and 3 degree and tune them, making sure the edge tuning tool is set at the right setting.

@Zedaphor2 ай бұрын
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.
@shmsnow2 ай бұрын
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!

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?

Hi beginner here. I've been watching a lot of different videos on carving lately, like Ryan Knapton, James Cherry, and Malcolm Moore. I found your approach is quite different from them. Especially the part that shifting body weight a bit to the back, and not focusing too much on the front leg. Can you kindly elaborate on why you prefer this approach comparing to others? (Really like your waxing video btw!)
@shmsnow3 ай бұрын
Advanced levels of carving involve fore-aft movements, where you shift your focus to the front of the board and slowly transfer your weight to the tail throughout the end of the turn. I elected to omit this skill for people starting out carving - I find it easier for beginners to focus on just keeping their weight towards the back instead of throwing it all over the place, when they don't yet know what carving actually feels like. The carve is more stable towards the tail end, anyways. Thank you for watching!
