railing is railing.
shape skis, carving boards, whatever.
carve carve carve, no skid
sadly, we recently lost the godfather of carving , Jean Nerva.
at about 11:15 that's my first real carving board , PJ Asym with high backs for soft boots. quickly graduated to plates and a race board. PJ got stolen at sugarbush. rossi rep hooked me up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDOapg3IE7gBacon tastes good. Pork chops taste goood.

If you don't know how to board, then learn to board on soft boot first. Also, consider a wide (27 cm at the waist) board that can carve in softies, like a Jones Stormchaser, Spring Break slush slasher or a BX style board. you can have all the fun and still have nice boots.

Been liking riding one of these lately:

No hardboots needed. And I'm a big foot riding regular angles so far but might tweak them a bit. It's really fun carving when the conditions suck everywhere else. Legs were actually tired after riding yesterday and that rarely happens from riding groomers. Kinda crazy being able to trust my heel edge in a high speed turn with my ass on the ground!

My 3 buckle boots are pretty surfy, even with stepin plates.
The boot shells last 100s of days and the plates last for decades all with less effort than softies, but the right board for conditions matters as much as boots.embrace the gape

well guys.
The first baby step has taken place.
A cheapo soft setup appeared on local CL, so I got it and went out floundering on the bunny hill and whatnot. It's both harder and easier than I thought. The whole process of just existing with my feet locked into that fucking thing is still really alien at this point.
Chairlifting off ramp is a real clusterfuck so far. All in all, so much embarrassment...so much humiliation. I remain motivated to get past it and into real riding.

Yeah, it hurts. Avoid sticking your hand back when falling backwards, that's the source of many broken wrists. It'll come, give it four or five days. Stay away from tiny children, though. You can crush them.

You will really appreciate decent gear once you figure it out a bit more with clunky gear. Don't forget the brain wax

When learning to snowboard these tutorials helped me a lot. I kept copies in my pocket to study.

Does anyone else think carving snowboards are super lame? Putting huge gouges in the groomed runs becomes a hazard for everyone else that might catch an edge in them. Also cutting across slopes is really dangerous, everyone needs to stick to the fall line as much as possible. And it just looks cheesy.
