How We Built Carv 2 | The Future of Ski Coaching

[@omarino8691]

This video really helped address my main concern about the accuracy of measuring pressure without the boot insert-thanks for clarifying that! One suggestion: it would be great to see a side-by-side comparison of Carv v1 and v2 on the same boots, with both devices capturing similar data. That would further reinforce the accuracy of v2!

[@CarvSki]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@johnbarron4713]

Some KZbinr will do it!

[@TAH1712]

Although I agree with your comparison test, I think the most important test is whether carv 2 is with skiers learning new skills an improvement over carv 1. For sure, 'All terrain ' is an improvement - the ability to convey what it should feel like from an experts perspective is super emotive but there is also a 'Skill's ' level 1, 2 and 3 that should be reached in these terrains. Instructors also give morale support and safety support to timid skiers. Group lessons can be a way to really enjoy a ski holiday as well - of course, I'm now fully off-piste.

Wow such a good reference to see this skiing on the moving carpet. What a great video. Thanks so much!

[@CarvSki]

Thank you for watching

Speaking as an early intermediate skier who used Carv 1 last season and will be using Carv 2 this season, I suspect this transition has more to do with manufacturing efficiency and ease of use than technical accuracy BUT you've convinced me that anything lost in technical accuracy will be more than compensated for by flexibility of use.

[@michaelmegrelis4414]

Not sold. It still does not tell me what my toes are doing which the old Carv does, or did as I understand the have removed that measurement. Probably great for lower level skiers but not for the fine-tuning a 140+ IQ requires.

[@connorp8408]

good move putting them on the sides (or fronts) of the boot, I've had a few boot heater batteries get smashed on some low chairlifts while getting on them

[@svig137]

I can't wait to try the Carv2 on my old Carv.

[@CarvSki]

We’re excited for you to try it!

[@hermannarminius7746]

Same, but mine is being held hostage by Canada Post (they're on strike and they have it at a distribution facility)

Smooth carpet is way different to irregular profile, hard/soft-ness and slipperiness of real ski conditions. The orientation and acceleration/impact/vibration sensing in these new devices must be so much more sensitive and the interpretation of the data must be a huge data crunch. Love the tech.👍 Proprietary secrets aside would love to know (roughly) how much of a step change the tech and compute is. Is it all onboard or some offloaded to paired phone? Can it cope with a loosely fixed powerstrap or does it need a close cinch for reliability of measurement. Fixing to backside of boot might be "safest" for device to avoid most impacts from user accidents although if at top of cuff it will get a clattering from ski-lifts...hmmm. Maybe on the front of boot in front of ankle? Would probably need a durable low profile mount (2-strapped around back and sole) mount that can be easily fitted to boot and then the sensor clipped to like a bike light.

[@CarvSki]

We suggest you attach Carv 2 to a tight power strap, if it’s too loose the system unfortunately won’t work

[@TAH1712]

@@CarvSki You say ' If it's too loose' it won't work - naturally then any looseness can generate inaccurate input data. Hmm, interesting... thank you.

[@beastyfast]

So are we saying that first 10-20 seconds of each run are throwaways? For small mountains this would be very suboptimal.

[@obvioustrash7833]

What is the connection point made of? This looks like a very easy way to break it after a while when you crash. Would love to know more about that part

[@CarvSki]

We have crash tested it lots!

[@obvioustrash7833]

@@CarvSki Dit it ever break and whats the connection made of?

[@CarvSki]

Connection is steel pinned to ridged plastic body. If you crash hard enough to break it we’re afraid you may have bigger worries than Carv breaking… 😅

[@obvioustrash7833]

@@CarvSki Thats fair enough haha, thanks for the reply

[@CaydeSki]

Can you set parameters to compensate for an injury that limits some movement?

[@CarvSki]

Carv will show you your skiing I including any asymmetries caused by injury - allowing you to understand how best to overcome any limitations - hope that helps

[@CaydeSki]

@ ok, so unlike a French ski instructor it won’t laugh at me because my left shakes due to spinal cord damage + fusion 😂

[@yanni2737]

Hi, do you still need the Carv1 or you can just get the Carv2 without the inserts?

[@gairnmclennan5876]

Carv 2 is not using the insert.

[@hermannarminius7746]

Carv 1 is still supported (let a buddy run it while you use the Carv 2 units)

[@anthonysears871]

Carv is horrible. Creates locked up and contrived skiers. Does not create skiers that edge at the correct time nor with proper muscular tension! Another worthless gimmick!

[@OrdinaryWorld]

Nice hyperbole but thousands of users, including myself, would disagree. Hardly a worthless gimmick if it's has propelled so many skiers in their advancement.

[@hermannarminius7746]

What a hot take. Stupid but hot.

[@petercreagh8797]

As someone who used books, videos, gear change and instruction to learn to ski I don't think this would have helped me although it could possibly let you know if you are able to achieve a racing edge angle. I just bought race skis to try that with. By buying race skis and expert boots once I had got to intermediate level I knew I would not be able to blame my gear for my falls which was the case with the intermediate skis I bought but I had no idea how fast I would progress.

[@rizearazvan]

@@petercreagh8797 Can you name a few books, please? I am eager to use as many sources to improve my skiing too. I have just ordered CARV 2 and I normally have sessions with instructors too when I go skiing.
