Carving: "Tails follow Tips," which has nothing to do with the boards are flat or not. If you're carving, you wouldn't have thrown up that spray of snow as you pass the camera. The spreads are generated by the twin-tips, and carving on twin-tips is even more impressive, as the twin-tips doesn't hold the edges. You were on a cat track. Ahh... so? snowbender -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia |

Did you see that he pushed the ski to make "bow" out of the ski @1:14? That's only reason that skis carve; edges only make the carving "sharper." Flat board carving carves with the "bow" of the skis, so you know only one way without knowing the other. Day dreaming? Or psycho talks? You cannot even teach them to ski the first day.

No, in the first two hours, an "absolute beginner" would have no idea what a "carving turn" is. And are you saying that you taught an "absolute beginner" beginning with "carving turn"? What kind of instructor are you? Nevertheless, your two-hour "absolute beginner" was carving but mine isn't, way to go, terminal L1. snowbender -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia |
