I really enjoy your carving videos. Thanks a lot! I'm riding a Burton Flight Attendant on normal to soft snow and a GNU Gremlin on hardpack and icy snow, both wirh CartelX Bindings an +27 front angle and +9 on the back foot. I can do teoside carves pretty well now but i have quite some trouble getting the board on edge ord holding the edge without washing out on heelside turns. Would appreciate any pro tips or advice on how to get heelside turns locked in. Hope you guys have a great season!

Hey man, I love these videos too. Last year was all about carving for me on a new Burton Custom X 162W, especially because I switched from duck stance to posi/posi after watching some James Cherry videos on KZbin. If you haven't seen his explanation, you should definitely check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZXapHxjhNehqNEsi=0QdGXgLrQSZ_6cPB Here's my progress after one season of applying his technique (plus some of my own) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqPdh56rl62FrJosi=z4BuX9mPno9z45Pf I used to wash out on my heel edge all the time and I always blamed the board, but now I know it's mostly in the technique and riding is so much more fun.

@@lukejuras8024 thanks! I diacovered his channel last year too, great stuff. Heelside is still tricky at times, the winter here didn't have too much to offer this year, so not a lot of practice unfortunately. What helped you to get more locked in on heelside turns? Will check our your video in a minute ;)

@@lukejuras8024 really nice riding! Switching to posi posi and usning a bit narrower stance helped me A LOT! Now the resort days aren't a wasted day anymore as carving is sooo much fun when powder isn't around.

@@t.blaschke7461 I think the first thing was "dump the water out of the boots" to get the edge angle higher, using my legs and feet to tip the board instead of trying to do it with my hips and leaning into the turn. Also making sure my board wasn't twisting at all, using both feet equally. I had to use video to see that my back foot wasn't working like it should. The last thing was really driving my back knee to almost touch the back of my front knee after getting the edge set, which bends the board for more aggressive turns. Can't wait for next season to start already!
