Improve your Carving Game - Snowboard Better
- So rather than before when we were standing up and crossing our hips over the board, this time we're actually bringing the board underneath our body. We call it a cross under turn. Now this is really effective because you bring the board nice and high up to start the turn early but also because you've stuck your legs up underneath you, you're starting the turn in a crouch down position. You're in this low position ready to start extending your legs and applying pressure through the board right from the beginning of the turn. Whereas before we were standing up then sinking into this low position which you could then apply pressure from. Here you're doing these cross under turns, you can get pressure right from the start of the turn and this is what I start to call more high performance carving. So give me a watch, I'll film some in slow motion so you can really see the board snapping up underneath me. So from my heels to the toes I've got to bring it up underneath me and back up the hill. From the toes to the heels, same thing, I release that snap, pull the board underneath me, you see it lets me engage my edge nice and early and already I'm in that low strong position to start pushing out through the turn.
