I'll put a number on it - I'd say 99% of snowboarders can't link
carved turns, and half can barely link skidded turns.

Neil, move away from the nursery slope, you'll see a higher standard
of riding. :-)))

Most people are unable to recognise a carved turn from a skidded turn.

Even "good" riders.

I'd refute that. Surely if someone knows what a carved turn is, then by
definition they should be able to tell the difference between it and a
skidded turn.

I think that perhaps the generalisation would be that people don't know
the difference between the two, and therefore can only do the skidded
variety.
