"Speed control through turn shape". I like that, well said. If you ever get up to Revelstoke this season I've got a pretty thick stack of ultra wide custom carving boards you might want to ride... Waists are between 290 and 300mm!
Dude........ you're the man! Just watched your intro video on your channel! Y E S S S S S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! So good!!! Everything you say there is so good. We're like carving twins, hahaha! Glad I found your stuff. Thanks for commenting!!

Night and day!! Teaching progression into a state of flowing just doesn’t exist. A duck stance also doesn’t make any sense but most people are taught it and still stick with it. The timing of your flow is bang on. You switched the light on Lars.
Thank you!!That is so great to hear! I think duck has its place, but from a turning/carving perspective it is so beneficial to go posi/posi.... in particular on the heels....
I'm just starting snowboarding, but I have 48 years of skiing behind me, including some amateur racing years. It's interesting how you just described the carving technique on skis.... For snowboarding 😁 guess phisics don't change 😉. One very important detail of the carving turn is the patience to tilt the board/skis gradually and continuously from traverse/initiation to the apex/fall line and tilting back to flat the same way, after. No matter how much or less you tilt, the movement is gradual and continuous with max tilt at the fall line. If you need to slow down, max tilt a little bit after the fall line. One tendency,very difficult to eliminate, is to take too much angle too quickly, with judder and off balance as a result...
Wow ! Perfect style and technique ! You rock Lars ! Excellent point about giving a high angle to the board before getting into the fall line ! Keep these fantastic videos coming ! You and Mark Fawcett should join force to produce the perfect « learn to carve video ». 😊
Hahahaha... Mark Fawcett will probably kick me in the nuts for all the wrong information I'm spreading, and then TH-cam will shut down my channel! The carve police will come after me, and I'll be on the run for the rest of my life! :-) I'll suggest that to Mark. ;-)
Hi Lars, great tips again. I would really like to see more of this, as I got a feeling we all aim for this level of riding. Maybe an option for the channel to offer your comments on your subscribers video's? If we would see most common made mistakes on these, the easier it will get for your subs to improve their riding and therefore help your channel grow.
Great idea. However, in the first place I never thought of offering any form of coaching here. Now that this request keeps coming up, I started thinking about it... Any video analysis is quite time consuming. I've done this a bunch with and for friends. I usually take screen shots or make sequences and then give pointers by image. This is not something I can quickly whip out. This entire channel is an insane amount of work already, which I didn't think it would be (dummy! hahahaha....). So if I did go into the 'coaching' aspect, I'd only do it one on one not publicly discussed and definitely at some form of a charge, because of the time it consumes. Thanks for the thought!! I appreciate it!
changing edge before the fall line is a super helpful tip. I do have a problem on a deep carve heelside where cant get its shape the same as my toeside. Its much shorter, too tight and sometimes it kicks me out at the end. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for checking in! I'm happy to offer video analysis at a reasonable charge. If you have decent footage of yourself, send it to lars.justaride@gmail.com and I'll take a look and let you know what I'd charge you.
@@andykirkwood In fact, you guys are part of the 98% :-) Check my videos on stances, parts 2 and 3. This is the most common issue snowboarders are experiencing, and it has everything to do with not using the hips correctly. Think about it, in a toe turn your ankles and knees flex in the direction you want to bring pressure to. In a heel turn.... not so much! The next joint is the hip joint!! Heel turns are all about the hips! That's all you got... And upper body rotation... you have to rotate the hips and chest into that heel turn... It is quite difficult to learn a real good heel side.
Practice bumps without the tree obstacles. Lots of vertical movement required - bend and extend the knees. Lots of torsional twisting of the board required through the feet. Impossible to give good tips without seeing you. I recommend taking lessons - but request a higher level instructor!!
I am loving your videos and explanations, thanks so much for the precision and thoroughness you put into them! I have a small doubt though, I am not sure I fully understand what you mean by "pinching the hips", could you perhaps go into more detail on this in one of your next videos? Thanks!!
Not sure if this is the right place to ask... I currently saw a used Stranda Biru 154 for sale but I am only weighted 130lb. I want a board that could do the kind of carving in this video but also has some mobility to able to ride in non groomed snow with friends. Is it a good length for my size or i should go for a shorter one? Thank you
You can ride that board, for sure. However, boards with this short of a radius are not really ideal for the kind of carving in this video. This is a matter of ability. If you’re still learning, the Biru can give you great carving vibes. Eventually you’ll want a larger turn radius for carving. Remember, the Biru is a directional all mountain freestyle board that can carve well. It’s not made to be a true carving board. So maybe it’s just perfect for what you want. Only one way to find out!! ✌️😉
Yes. Down unweighted turns or cross under.... It's fun and exhausting! Hahaha.... I still haven't been able to see why that would be better as a general approach to carving, although many people are talking about it. I use it in certain situations where an insanely quick edge transition is required.
@ide-Snowboard-Channel You have less movement with the upper body and on backside you can tilt the board a little bit more.I used to the other technique and it take a bit to get used but now I use it with hard boots and soft boots as well.I found it more effective.
You shouldn't touch the snow, really. Any pressure on your hand should be on your edge ;-) It just happens, though... The reason I'm talking about this is that many riders think that hand in the snow is a good indicator for how 'low' they get, which is nonsense. Have fun out there!
Hey! Thanks for reaching out! You can email me to lars.justaride@gmail.com If it's large files, maybe send them compressed somehow. I would charge a bit of money, but I'd look at the footage first and then tell you.
Thank you! In this video I'm mostly set up 30/+9. There's one sequence where I'm on a Stranda Pipeliner 185 with a 260 waist width. On that board I need to ride 36/+18 to avoid booting out. I have size 10 / 10.5 boots.
@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel cool. Other question... about bindings, NOW drive pro VS drive cx.... Best setup for softboot carving i use ride insano boots with COILER frbx 163. ( im 200lbs ex hardboot carver) The question is about stifness of the combo boots bindings board...
@@patricevilleneuve5547 I'm in the same boot. I ride Stranda boards - soft tips, torsionally stiff through the centre. I'm only 135 lbs... I foind the Drive CX a bit much... Like: I have to dial back forward lean because the highback have no flex at all. It's preference! Both a good bindings.
How critical is the board waist considering a 44.5 foot size in your opinion? I currently ride +15 -15 regular but i have a lot of limits on heel edge turn (heel dragging) , i'm thinking to re-learn on double positive stance, more alpine style but with soft boots!
The greatest limit in your stance is the fact that your hip is entirely blocked and can't rotate forward to the degree it would be needed to get into a more efficient carving position. And yes, waist width with your boot size is an issue! You should be on something between 265 and 275mm waist, if you wanted to get the board higher on edge. Riding a moderate alpine style with moderate forward angles in softboots is quite fun. I can't get enough of it... :-) +6° in the backfoot is all it needs. No need to go crazy. Play with! Find out what works for you! Thanks for the comment!!
If you want to keep your duck stance you'd need a board with at least 30cm width. Check out Donek snowboards, they make customized boards. I started with 30cm (boot size 11) and still be booting out if the snow was a bit softer than i want . This year i got 31.5cm width, can't wait to try my beast on the slopes. Good luck
For a pure carving board that is only ever been ridden on perfect corduroy you can probably go that wide. There is something like what I call 'a functional waist width', where you don't boot out 95% of the time and the board is still rideable when things get bumpy. There's a point where the board has more leverage over your foot than the foot over the board. With your boot size and your board width that point has been surpassed. But again, if you just carve perfect cord, sweet!! I'm a size 10 in a Ride boot. That's the same as a 10.5 in just about any other brand in regards to outer shell length of the boot. My sweet spot waist is 270mm, and I don't boot out with a +9 backfoot - ever. Considering that the back toe points forward and the board is narrower towards the centre, my +9 would give me more toe drag than anybody in a duck stance of -15º on the same setup could ever have. "Duck equals more boot drag" simply doesn't make sense! A boot grows by about 8mm per size. So a 280 waist should be plenty for a size 11 like you are wearing one. Just my take on this! If you say you boot out, then I'm sure you do, and that is all that counts! But I have a hard time understanding that. Would be cool to see you in action!
@victoralekseev5671 I've considered to buy a Knapton twin, with large waist like 310 mm and like 11or 12 meters of radius but i'm not sure that it fit for my ride style, and i'm from italy so it would be difficult to try one before purchasing... now i'm riding a Bataleon Party wave Plus 157 waist 280mm.
@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel on the other side i see a lot of videos from japanese or korean rides that go like 33° on front and 27° on backfoot that carve on boards like 260mm waist width, but they never write the foot size, usually they don't seem very high, so foot size should be proportional... (sorry the considferation on height is not intended to be racial... also if it sound like...) the get so low... like this th-cam.com/video/kHplFMGY7D4/w-d-xo.html
Hello Lars; I'm in need of you insight regarding Stranda board sizing for the Shorty. I usually ride 155-157cm snowboards and my longest board is a salomon taka 158. I'm considering picking up the Stranda Shorty in 159, but not sure if 164 is the better option for me. I'm about 175cm at 71/73kgs. what are your thoughts? thank you and hear back from you soon! Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful 🤙🏼
If you are an active rider that moves fore aft through his turns, get the 164! The board has plenty of tip rocker. The camber ends right in front of the front inserts. So If you launch into the nose in the 159 there's not that much support!! Backfoot riders don't notice this... Don't be afraid of the length. Strandas are mostly made to be ridden longer. You'd be buying a 164 with a 158 flex. It's magic!
Amazing video Lars! Pencil carves now in the bag!! Big question is for a 5'6 69kg dude, what size board do you recommend for a stranda biru 150 vs 154cm? As I am very much keen on this board for next season!
Thanks for the compliment! 🙏 You can go either or. The 150 will be more playful, the 154 more stable. Weight wise you’ll be fine on both. Bear in mind the difference in width, too.
@@atlasyaz yeah, probably pushing it! 150 is more appropriate for width, surely. It might also not quite be the right board... It all depends on what you wanna do with it. For your boot size at 260mm waist you'd never catch your toes or heels... So looking into "short fats' is maybe not the right thing all together, since they're all wider than that. If you wanna try a Stranda, get a 159 Shorty!! Much better waist width, and meant to be ridden longer!! Amazing board for directional riding - powder and groomers.
Everything starts in the feet! If you want to rotate the hip into a heel turn, the back foot / knee needs to push that way first. Depends a bit on the back foot angle! The more posi, the easier this is. In a toe turn I aim for pushing my back knee a little towards the nose of the board, more like next to the front knee rather than behind it. I don't really find that 'tuck knee' that efficient or comfortable. I'm not aiming to have my back knee tucked behind my front knee. in a heel turn I push both knees sideways towards the heel edge. The hips always follow. And there's a million other things that need to be done... Hahahaha... It's such a complicated thing to make clean carved s-turns... It really is.
Great tips Lars and even greater style! I love it! Keep them coming! I am so glad to see that you give an option to email you, for a fee, with a video to give us some feedback... There are a few Japanese riders, doing online 1-1 classes on ++ carving, but until now, you couldn't find English speaking instructor... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion!
How kind of you! :-) Thanks! Yes, I wasn't planning on offering this, but the demand is there, and I've been doing this a whole bunch with friends I ride with, and it's great fun! So why not?! Everybody wins, hopefully!
@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel In second half on January I'll finally get on the slopes... I'll send you an email than with a video. There is a way of paying with a super thanks on TH-cam or maybe something more convenient. I hope we'll be in contact... Happy shredding!!!
@@institutleonida5363 Thanks! Yeah, send me your stuff! Video analysis is quite time consuming, if the feedback is supposed to actually lead to realizations and improvement. Since the channel itself is already taking up a tremendous amount of time and is solely a voluntary passion project with no monetization, I would not really want to offer that for anything but a small charge. Considering that a 1.5h lesson in Canada is about $200.00 and I haven't found instructors yet that teach anything specific to double positive stance or this kind of carving, I think it would be fair to go that way. And I'd be pretty reasonable, I think. 🙂
Hey, was wondering about switching to wider snowboard in terms of do it all. Curently rocking nitro team camber 159, which has 252waist width, thinking about switching to directional set back camber so i can do groomers and some powder. A lot of people are recomending me Ride Superpig, which is great on groomers and powder. comes in 270waist width and setback camber rick rocker nose. Do you have any idea how does the riding change in terms of carving/edge control, if my waist width changes that much?Is it more effort to initiate carves, or what exactly? I def know i'll be able to carve deeper, but not much else. Right now i have aprox 1.5cm overhang on both sides on my prefered stance.
Your current overhang is not bad at all - unless you already carve aggressively, achieving very high edge angles. Superpig is a 'short fat', which has limits in choppy, bumpy terrain, if your boot size is relatively small. You need some overhang!! A better waist width for you would probably be around 262 to 265.
i do manage to do some agressive carves, but don't seem to catch an edge yet, tho i've seen my boot toes touching snow lightly from time to time, so it's pretty close, heel side is def not as agressive, fixing my forward lean adjustors, waiting for new parts. :D Thanks for the tips! Your TH-cam has a lot of useful information, i wish your channel was bigger, you def deserve more views and recognition,this info is really useful and would be beneficial for a lot of people. @@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel
I would like to know too - I'm currently running duck stance since I want to learn to ride switch as well, that dual positive stance isn't really built for switch 🙃
You can do a lot of things in many ways! So yes and yes... You can ride switch in this stance, and yes you can carve quite well in a duck stance. But if you watch my two episodes on duck and posi stance, you will understand what the limitations are! It's quite technical. Just watch the videos, That's easier. Cheers!!
I've made sacrifices, believe me..... You often have more room for personal choices than you think. You just have to be willing to carry the consequences. ;-)
Hahaha, that's funny! :-) I have about six episodes on every possible setup option and duck vs. posi technique... Of course I can't make one 45 minute video about all of this. Nobody would watch it. It is so difficult to keep things reasonably short... Thanks for the comment! Check out my whole channel!!

If you are an active rider that moves fore aft through his turns, get the 164! The board has plenty of tip rocker. The camber ends right in front of the front inserts. So If you launch into the nose in the 159 there's not that much support!! Backfoot riders don't notice this...
Don't be afraid of the length. Strandas are mostly made to be ridden longer. You'd be buying a 164 with a 158 flex. It's magic!
Really appreciate this Lars! Have a great day and see you on your next video 👊🏽🙏🏽
I’ll go with the 164! Woohoo
@@hankins4 If you're ordering it from Stranda, tell Mats that we talked! I don't get anything from that, but it's good for him to know.
@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel I’ll email him about our chat!
I’ll actually be ordering online from your local store edge of the world!
@@hankins4 ha! Okay. I used to work there. Tell them I said ’hi!’ 😅
Amazing video Lars! Pencil carves now in the bag!! Big question is for a 5'6 69kg dude, what size board do you recommend for a stranda biru 150 vs 154cm? As I am very much keen on this board for next season!
Thanks for the compliment! 🙏
You can go either or. The 150 will be more playful, the 154 more stable. Weight wise you’ll be fine on both. Bear in mind the difference in width, too.
@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel thanks for this! I've got small feet size 7 uk, 154 may be too wide u think?
@@atlasyaz yeah, probably pushing it! 150 is more appropriate for width, surely. It might also not quite be the right board... It all depends on what you wanna do with it. For your boot size at 260mm waist you'd never catch your toes or heels... So looking into "short fats' is maybe not the right thing all together, since they're all wider than that.
If you wanna try a Stranda, get a 159 Shorty!! Much better waist width, and meant to be ridden longer!! Amazing board for directional riding - powder and groomers.
Thanks for your honest opinion!
@@atlasyaz yeah, not much good to be found in bad advice. 😊 Good luck!!
I have to move the back knee into the front? Or I don't have to think about knee, it moves because of a consequence of hip movement?
Everything starts in the feet! If you want to rotate the hip into a heel turn, the back foot / knee needs to push that way first. Depends a bit on the back foot angle! The more posi, the easier this is. In a toe turn I aim for pushing my back knee a little towards the nose of the board, more like next to the front knee rather than behind it. I don't really find that 'tuck knee' that efficient or comfortable. I'm not aiming to have my back knee tucked behind my front knee.
in a heel turn I push both knees sideways towards the heel edge. The hips always follow. And there's a million other things that need to be done... Hahahaha... It's such a complicated thing to make clean carved s-turns... It really is.
Great tips Lars and even greater style! I love it! Keep them coming!
I am so glad to see that you give an option to email you, for a fee, with a video to give us some feedback...
There are a few Japanese riders, doing online 1-1 classes on ++ carving, but until now, you couldn't find English speaking instructor...
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion!
How kind of you! :-) Thanks!
Yes, I wasn't planning on offering this, but the demand is there, and I've been doing this a whole bunch with friends I ride with, and it's great fun! So why not?! Everybody wins, hopefully!
@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel In second half on January I'll finally get on the slopes... I'll send you an email than with a video.
There is a way of paying with a super thanks on TH-cam or maybe something more convenient.
I hope we'll be in contact...
Happy shredding!!!
@@institutleonida5363 Thanks! Yeah, send me your stuff! Video analysis is quite time consuming, if the feedback is supposed to actually lead to realizations and improvement. Since the channel itself is already taking up a tremendous amount of time and is solely a voluntary passion project with no monetization, I would not really want to offer that for anything but a small charge. Considering that a 1.5h lesson in Canada is about $200.00 and I haven't found instructors yet that teach anything specific to double positive stance or this kind of carving, I think it would be fair to go that way. And I'd be pretty reasonable, I think. 🙂
Hey, was wondering about switching to wider snowboard in terms of do it all.
Curently rocking nitro team camber 159, which has 252waist width, thinking about switching to directional set back camber so i can do groomers and some powder.
A lot of people are recomending me Ride Superpig, which is great on groomers and powder. comes in 270waist width and setback camber rick rocker nose.
Do you have any idea how does the riding change in terms of carving/edge control, if my waist width changes that much?Is it more effort to initiate carves, or what exactly? I def know i'll be able to carve deeper, but not much else.
Right now i have aprox 1.5cm overhang on both sides on my prefered stance.
Your current overhang is not bad at all - unless you already carve aggressively, achieving very high edge angles.
Superpig is a 'short fat', which has limits in choppy, bumpy terrain, if your boot size is relatively small. You need some overhang!! A better waist width for you would probably be around 262 to 265.
i do manage to do some agressive carves, but don't seem to catch an edge yet, tho i've seen my boot toes touching snow lightly from time to time, so it's pretty close, heel side is def not as agressive, fixing my forward lean adjustors, waiting for new parts. :D
Thanks for the tips! Your TH-cam has a lot of useful information, i wish your channel was bigger, you def deserve more views and recognition,this info is really useful and would be beneficial for a lot of people.

@@rauliuxaa thanks for saying that!! Share the heck out of it, so I can grow this, ha! 😜
Ist das ein Rad air tanker?
Nein, ein Stranda Cheater 170W

hey what is the green board name/model? thanks
Made a whole episode about it. You weren't the only one asking... ;-)

@@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel holy crap 170w board i need to get a new bag lol
@@Matttski Yup! 🙂
Is it possible to carve like that without being dual positive? Just more difficult? Or not even possible?
I would like to know too - I'm currently running duck stance since I want to learn to ride switch as well, that dual positive stance isn't really built for switch 🙃
You can do a lot of things in many ways! So yes and yes... You can ride switch in this stance, and yes you can carve quite well in a duck stance. But if you watch my two episodes on duck and posi stance, you will understand what the limitations are! It's quite technical. Just watch the videos, That's easier.
Cheers!!
Thanks bro I watched it once will rewatch. Going to experiment a lot more with stance and equipment this winter!
Try that in the midwest. Lolol
I wish I could ride more often. Not only two weeks per season .... Life is unfair...
I've made sacrifices, believe me..... You often have more room for personal choices than you think. You just have to be willing to carry the consequences. ;-)
“You carve, you carve, you carve…even when icy you carve” said with a French accent.
R.I.P. Jean Nerva......
This all makes sense. But you failed to mention and go in depth on board set up and binding angles? Most noobs don’t even know what binding angles is.
Hahaha, that's funny! :-) I have about six episodes on every possible setup option and duck vs. posi technique... Of course I can't make one 45 minute video about all of this. Nobody would watch it. It is so difficult to keep things reasonably short...
Thanks for the comment! Check out my whole channel!!
