- A byproduct of this rotation with your hips is that your shoulder line becomes more open, meaning that it's easier to turn your head and see back up the slope and see anyone who might be coming down this side trying to overtake you.

Improve your Carving Game - Snowboard Better
- Carving is where you put the board on its edge and have the side cut of the board pull you across the slope in a smooth turn. Now good carving is where you leave a pencil thin line in the snow. That's an indication that the board hasn't been skidding at all. So let's start off real simply at the pedestrian end of the spectrum like I said. I'm here on the side of the piece and what I'm going to do is pick up a little bit of speed, rock onto my heel edge and try and make a nice smooth arc all the way across to the other side of the slope. To do this, ingredient one is speed. A little bit of speed helps with carving.

- Ingredient number two is to have good heel edge posture. That means knees bent, hips back, head turning, looking where I'm going and if you're not entirely sure what good posture is, check this video out up here. I've explained good posture in great detail. So we've got speed, we've got good posture, the third thing we need to do is the lateral movement. By that I just mean we lean. We lean our body laterally into the slope to get the sidecut to engage and for it to pull us around the turn. Alright, let's jump in, let's give it a go.

Snowboarding Tips - How to Ride the Flats - With a Real Beginner
- So normally when we're snowboarding we make what's called is that after each turn, whether it's heel side or toe edge, we get the board 90 degrees across the slope to slow ourselves back down and get a bit more control.

- Now if you're to do this type of turn on the flats, not only are you going to just run out of speed, get stuck and end up skating across them, but you might have found yourself it's actually quite dangerous when you turn that board 90 degrees when you're on a flat slope, it's very easy to catch an edge.
