フロントサイドで手を雪面につけるカービング
How to
Step by stepEnter a carved turn on your toe (toe-side) edge on a medium slope.
Before you commit to laying it down, build a steady, moderate-or-higher speed where the edge bites firmly into the snow. Too slow and there is no rebound to hold you up, so you fall to the inside.
In the first half of the turn, send your upper body and hips (pelvis) toward the inside of the turn.
Keep your eyes on the exit of the turn, where you want to go. Looking down stands the upper body up and the edge stops gripping.
Bend your front-leg knee deeply (roughly 100 degrees or more) and drop the kneecap toward the snow.
At the same time tilt your pelvis hard to the inside and press the board through the ball of your front foot, from the big-toe side toward the little-toe side, not through the heel.
Keep your back leg fairly straight (roughly 40 to 60 degrees), supporting yourself on the tail-side edge.
Load about 70 percent on the front foot and 30 on the back; gathering weight on the front foot lets you drop the front knee low.
The more you lay your body to the inside, the more you depend on the snow pushing back to keep you from falling.
Set the edge to 60 to 80 degrees so it digs in deeply, and trust that rebound as you reach the lowest point of the turn.
In the second half, the flexed board loads and springs back.
Do not fight it: extend the front leg, ride the rebound up, and send your pelvis to the other side to link into the next turn.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logThis trick works on the toe-side edge only. On the heel-side edge there is no way to drop the knee toward the snow, so the move cannot be built
Front knee will not reach the snow → tight hips and ankles, so the pelvis is not folding to the inside. Keep stretching the hips before riding, and rather than forcing the knee down, deepen the pelvic tilt gradually
