Default Grasshopper technique questions!

So you are probably now all excited and like "ok so how do I carve?"
Well that's a long story and would make this long post even longer.



Fortunately there's some great stuff on the web about that!

www.bomberonline.com is a site dedicated to carving. For the most
part, it's about carving with hard boots and an alpine board, but
there's a lot of content that applies equally to soft boots and a
freeride/freestyle board.

This article describes a drill that will teach you exactly what it feels
like to carve:

That is an important first step. Many beginners think they are carving
when they aren't. This drill will teach you the difference. Once
you've got the "Norm" drill down and know what it feels like to carve
(and it is a very cool feeling!) follow up with:

http://www.bomberonline.com/articles/the_normii.cfm

which teaches you how to bring that feel into your everyday riding.

Hope that helps,
