How to make snowboarding look good / Keep turning, use your edges, stop sliding!

[@matejzima8210]

when you do the intro I often hear "I am Last Horseman" :D :D amazing vid as always!!

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

I am the last horse man!

[@RobertoVillaLobby]

Those moments are so priceless 😍 Can't wait to be in the Alpes with my camper for 2 weeks soon. First lift 🙋

[@frozenwastz111]

Looks awesome Lars! I love the spontaneous laugh around turn 54 and the smile in your face says it all. Fun! 😀

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Turn 54 was a great turn! 😂

[@jakubondrak1922]

Nice carving :)) Yesterday it was my 10th day on the slope :)

This is a quintessential Lost Horseman Expression Session, complete with groovin’ trip hop back beat. Your stoke is contagious!

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Hahaha, yeah, I’m trying to have fun! 🤩

[@justinmuir9163]

Another great clip. The coards carves and camera are amazing! Cheers!

[@polyglottenforpain]

Those Fernie cords look nice! 🏂👌

[@Xboxers]

Still can't understand why people don't put the bar down. It's so weird to see compared to our European resorts.

[@justinmuir9163]

They are uncomfortable. Only drop it for those who want it down

[@brohammer]

Why do you feel you need it

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

I hear ya! I normally put the bar down. This lift, however, has a spring loaded bar, which flips up when you don't push on it. It also doesn't have a foot rest that would be available to hold it down with the weight of your feet. So with this camera selfie stick that quickly became annoying, and I just left it up.

Hi Lars, glad youre enjoying life :) How about a video abt. Bindings that are good for carving ?

[@The_hardpack_surfer]

Love this, uploading a full run like that. I just ordered one of those cameras so i can share some turns myself and maybe create a channel! It almost never happens that i have someone available for and willing to film me so it seems to be by far the best and most versatile option the purpose

[@MinamiX3]

It's really nice to be able to enjoy all types of snow conditions instead of being a snow snob. Hard pack day? Nice, carving day. Refrozen groomers? Nice, still carving day just need to change techniques a bit.

[@iamkeir]

That’s a gnarly half pipe they got there! 😅

Looking mighty good 👌

Thank you!

so cool man so cool

[@haocc-hi5ls]

hi! awesome riding! May I ask your board info? what board, how long and your weight ,boots size . thank you so much!!

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

I'm 5'9.5", 135 lbs, boot size 10 to 10.5. Board: Stranda Cheater 170W, 275mm waist. Board is on the stiff side for me, but with proper timing and stacking I'm bending it pretty easily. It's not a workout, but it's clearly not a walk in the park either!! 30 lbs more would be nice, but then I'd be fat! Hahaha.... Remember, the board is a tool. The rider provides the skill to use it. No arrogance here!! I just want people to understand that carving well is difficult and when things don't work it's hardly ever the board's fault. ;-) Hope that makes sense!

[@haocc-hi5ls]

@ thank you ! That’s so detail , helps a lot . Good day!

[@omarpaiz8234]

what do you do for work? i’m curious how you balance things

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

I have a tiny little part time gig in an outdoor gear shop in the winter. Otherwise I run my little snowboard tuning business, the channel and help with Stranda sales in Canada. It's enough! Hahahaha.....

[@ShanQueefus]

What's the best board for gripping hard snow?

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Great question! And I apologize already for the answer.... Grip is to a large degree generated by the rider. If the rider can't get into a well stacked position and applies the appropriate pressure for the conditions and board he/she is on, there won't be much grip. Now, let's assume the rider is awesome :-) You need good edges - no matter which board. Edges are like your vehicle's tires.... Now the board.... It needs to match your weight in regard to longitudinal flex!! Weight (pressure), however, can be generated with good technique!! All my boards are too stiff for me on paper!! But with good timing and dropping my centre of mass and leg extension through the turns I'm generating lots of G force to bend the board.... So weight range is a little relative, which makes things more complicated.... The board should be rather stiffer torsionally and provide good bending abilities longitudinally. That way it keeps its turn shape throughout the turn and can deal with uneven surfaces better. You want the longest effective edge you're comfortable with in your terrain at your ability. More edge, more grip! You need a width wide enough to keep your feet out of the snow for the most part. I believe that 0.5" overhang on each side are totally fine. But for purely carving you could go as wide as zero overhang, which will make the board useless anywhere but on well maintained corduroy. And then you need good vibration dampening! I ride Stranda snowboards, and they check all the boxes FOR ME and the terrain I ride. So you see.... it's complicated! Hahaha...

[@lucasoosterveld607]

Where on earth is it THAT quiet around 9am, here in Zugspitzarena theres a line for the gondolas at 7:45 😮

[@LagmasterB]

Fernie. Inland Pacific Northwest of US/ far Southeastern British Columbia, Canada. Some of the best riding, simply because no one is up here.

[@lucasoosterveld607]

@LagmasterB Damn, seems like i gotta try snowboarding overseas some day. Sights like these are non-existing in the Alps unfortunately xD.

[@LagmasterB]

@@lucasoosterveld607 come on over! The “powder highway” of British Columbia has many places to choose from. Weekdays you’ll have the whole places to yourself at spots like Fernie, Whitewater, Castle Mountain, Red Mountain

[@ChrisZ901]

How to not slip out on icy surface?

[@QuarktaschemitSenf]

sharpen those edges and maybe get an 88° angle instead of the usual 90. Also there are boards with disrupted sidecuts. Wont prevent all slipping but could help

[@MICHAELJAMESMERRY]

Hey Lars, I've been having some trouble with my toe strap sliding down over my toe and so I'm going to try the Burton over-the-toe toe straps. But the screw that held the ratchet to my Now toe strap does not fit the Burton strap. This may be a problem that you have already previously solved, where does one find the correct screw for the Burton toe strap?

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

@@MICHAELJAMESMERRY At a Burton dealer.

[@MICHAELJAMESMERRY]

@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel That makes sense.

[@keVINlizzo]

Turning/carving is great and all, but there are many more fun things to do on a snowboard. Carving only gets boring to me. Party boarding is my preference.

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

To each their own! 😄

[@keVINlizzo]

@ exactly. No need to preach that carving only is the answer.

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

@@keVINlizzo who’s preaching? I’m just enjoying what I love. If you don’t like it, just don’t watch it. No need at all to attack me.

[@ekramhossain1982]

Darn it. I need a bigger mountain!

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

That is possible!

[@iaznxlouie]

Lets go Lars. Im awaiting a 159 shorty so i can rip along

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Amazing board!!

[@robbie3882]

Hi Lars! Great video! And I jave two questions, I would to buy a snowboard just for carving, I am 1.72m and 70kg, do you think is still ok the cheater or too big for me? Second, do I see T-plates risers in this video or others? I also onterested in those ;)

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

No risers under my feet! Cheater works for 70 Kg, for sure. Height is not an issue on a carving board... Longer board, longer edge, better grip.... It just can't be too stiff and you have to be past the sliding stage.,

[@DKR-1881]

Is that the standard selfie stick that comes with the insta360?

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

It's the 'Action' one. Carbon. 1m long.

[@DKR-1881]

@ only 1m? Wow. Ok thanks. Great video and I love your channel.

[@kosycat1]

I'm sorry but being from the United States your accent kind of sounds like your name is Lost Horseman, and I fully accepted it lol. It's Lars! I'm so silly Whats your last name?!
