7 steps to learning how to carve your snowboard! In this video, we break down the steps to help you to learn to carve and feel the difference between carving and skidded turns. We start with static exercises to ensure you can feel how to balance on a carve, and then we progress our way up to carving across and down the hill. Like the video, if you got anything out of it! Thanks, my doods!

finally rode my first blue with no falls and linking turns! all because of your videos, beyond stoked. Thanks Tommie!

[@quoctrung6106]

My 8 year old loved it last winter! She’s into snowboarding now

[@jesse9868]

Man you’re an awesome teacher. Can’t wait for snow here in the East so I can use these lessons

[@Heinester]

Good job. My Wife needed this video 💯

[@timseytiger9280]

It's all about racing my brother, so true.

[@Dluiogbre]

Clean video

Got a question about carving and weight distribution: should I place a little more of my weight on my front foot while carving, or should I balance my weight evenly between both feet? I ask that because I understand that while going down the fall line my front foot should have most of my weight and I think the same should be done while turning. This holds true while carving too?

[@bloobmonkey]

Late reply but you want your weight to be evenly distributed across the edge of the board, focusing weight into one foot is really only for carveturning generally. You have a little "give" and your weight doesn't have to be perfect but it should be as even as possible.

[@beeseumz]

I don't know why but sometimes just refreshing on the basics is nice

[@azel8rrp169]

It's funny because I thought this was the only way to snowboard so this is what I always did when learning, because everytime my board was flat I would lose control. So I only use my edges. Otherwise I feel like I have no grip and freak out and eat snow.

[@willdykema]

Drink your caffeine in the parking lot/right before your first run. You’ll get more benefit and less crash if you do it then instead of right when waking up. Pro tip for those who crash hard from caffeine

[@nemdawg6342]

Then I shit at the mountain instead of before I leave

[@icey35]

1:11 was just expecting a standing backflip here for some reason

[@jaimeaj24]

You’re not the only one 😂

[@JasonAndersen7]

What goggles do you have

[@tommiebennett]

Hey are my goggle company called benetek. That’s the goggles I rock. Shopbenetek.com

[@nyamsurenganbileg1777]

Useless too much talk but not useful items

[@stop_running]

Why are you hating just stop watching it if it isn’t good

[@scottastbury7335]

Hey Tommie, love the vids man. Bit of a boring one but could you do a video about riding flats? I’m pretty competent everywhere else on the mountain but flats play with my emotions 😂 always feel unsteady and like I’m gonna catch an edge. Keep killing it, man 🤟🏼

[@masondixon1718]

What kind of camber profile does your board have? I have a hybrid camber powder board (flying v) that feels pretty squirrelly on the cat tracks, but I have no problem with any of my strictly camber boards.

[@scottastbury7335]

@@masondixon1718 same here, Mason. I’ve got a lib tech Orca. Rips on the mountain but those cat tracks, no sir lol 🤦🏻‍♂️ that being said, I’ve never been great on the flats on any of the boards I’ve owned. It’s probably more in my head now tbh, guess I probably need to put my big boy pants on, get some confidence and get on those edges.

[@miken4552]

Stay on an edge instead of riding completely flat. Heel/toe back and forth. I ride a super doa and also feel catchy when I flatten out.

[@brianp9268]

@@scottastbury7335yes that rocker between your feet can feel sketchy when riding flat.

[@Mixedbydavey]

@@scottastbury7335 yeah man the orca is super squirrelly on flat base. Just make sure to lock in an edge at all times for this board.

[@callumscott1538]

Dude I wish these were around 10 years ago when I started riding - the amount of "ooh I do that correct" and "oh, I need to fix that" moments i have are amazing!

[@j_dilll]

Man, this is the video I've been waiting for! Definitely focusing on this all day tomorrow. Thanks!

[@davisraines5131]

Love the vids man! Keep it up!

[@Felix-kd8tn]

On icy and cruddy days I have a real hard time keeping a thin line, is there something I can do besides move from Michigan to someplace with nicer runs?

[@job11133u]

Gaining speed 😎 Changing directions😎 GAINING DIRECTION AND CHANGING SPEEDS 🤯

[@bailey5437]

Should my snowboard bindings come over the edges of my board?? I think my snowboard is not wide enough

[@Felix-kd8tn]

Yeah if your boot hits the snow enough to pull your boards edge from the snow, it's gonna break the carve.

[@chuck__van]

Nothing like the feeling of a freshly laced up toeside carve

[@Capykiller]

First good advice: get yourself a carvingboard.

[@k8chillx]

Thank you for your videos I've been learning a lot from you You're one of my favorite snowboard teaching KZbin channel

[@jiajianhou426]

I leave a 1-2 inches wide line behind. is that considered thin enough to indicate I was carving at least somewhat decent? thanks!

[@leonwillett4645]

QUESTION: on park jumps, it seems like on any kind of straight air you lean forward just a tiny bit as you take off, to create a parabola where you angle yourself downwards towards the landing (to avoid landing in the back seat). However, on spinning tricks, you fully commit to the upward angle of the take off, and your snowboard is often at right angles to the landing. Then as you land, you use your just your legs to execute what looks like a massively-back-seat landing, but use the friction of the edge of your snowboard upon landing to correct your upper body position as you ride away from touchdown. Essentially you are using the landing CARVE and edge switch to put your upper body upright, but you landed hugely in the back seat. I'm guessing all of this is subconscious, but I feel like nobody is talking about this, and the upward slant of the takeoff (and downward slant of the landing) really messes with my head. To be clear, the backseat landings after (perhaps corked) spinning tricks look awesome, I am just trying to understand the physics. Learning forward slightly while taking off for a spinning trick, in order to angle your upper body ready for the eventual landing seems uncomfortable, so I think we need to acknowledge that we are actually landing hugely in the back seat and then using a post landing carve and edge switch to correct our center of mass.

8:23 sick rider in the background!

[@erikmiller9356]

Went for the first time today and just full sent it, my bum took such a beating I can barley walk

[@kevinkarlimperial4717]

does the binding angle on the snowboard matter for carving?

[@jfhcnjjf]

Love your stuff man keep doing what you're doing

[@fabioplanta657]

Where can I find your hoodie to buy?

[@firesteelers]

You're the best !

[@colin1981]

Hi, great vids, may I ask what Goggles you are wearing?

[@miken4552]

Pretty sure they’re anon m4

[@Allomelle]

Can you make a video on the best way to just stand up from a sitting position? My knees aren’t what they used to be and it has become increasingly hard to get up.

[@jaimeaj24]

Best thing to do in this situation is to flip around to your toe side (facing up the hill)

[@elitenrg8281]

I just stand looking up hill (toe side), build a shelf and strap in while standing. Saves my knees and my butt from getting cold/wet.

[@makmcd68]

Step ins or Step on bindings will fix that. Haven't sat down to strap in the last 3 seasons so much better on the back for this 54 yr old. Btw I have both the Burton step ons and Nidecker supermatics. Both work very well! Never going back to straping in.

[@patc2515]

Love your videos man. I'm late to the game but your content is awesome and super helpful. I can't wait for your Hoodie to come back for purchase and my wife and I are getting your goggles. Love the products, videos, and look forward to seeing you grow your brand. Thanks for what you do bro!

[@anthonyhot8506]

4th video about carving this week from different bloggers. Why so much attention, this is a secondary technique. You can ride all your life without carving

[@gotbim9071]

.....maybe cause it's not really secondary. Carving is basically edge control, you literally use it with everything (groomers and park) If you genuinely believe it's secondary then you're not good probably

[@makmcd68]

Skidding is not snowboaring, it's snowsliding on a snowboard.
