Love your riding. It’s super old school and I mean that as a compliment. Carving is what got me into snowboarding back in the early 90s. I was a ski instructor at Sugarloaf and the snowboard instructors were riding Burton Factory Primes and leaving trenches all over the mountain. Skis could not carve like that back then so I transitioned to snowboarding. It’s great to see there are a few guys who still know how to shred like this. The new generation of riders are mostly riding duck, which just doesn’t facilitate a solid carve in my opinion, especially on the heal side edge. I was stoked to see your videos and see you riding high stance angles with that back knee tucked behind the front knee on your heel side carve. Keep on shredding brotha.
hey James....beautiful rhythmic carving....met you at Revelstoke last March and said "When's your clinic?" You responded "Right now, let's go!" and I was seriously tempted to ditch my people!!
бро как раз на черных трассах и получаешь удовольствие от жесткой доски. На пологих уклонах это все можно исполнять и на мягкой, разница как раз больше всего чувствуется на серьезном уклоне дубового склона
@@losonobingo87 у меня не получается из-за большого количества кочек, срывает все время. В Сочи только большой женский и мужской спуск нормальные, из за того что там мало кто катается. Но все равно ноги закисляются пипец как. А другие красные и черные - в хламину разбиты или лед постоянно… Хз 🤷♂️ Еще и народу дохрена и сидят непоподя где…
@@optimlab8654 бро, ну так время для хорошего карвинга - это утро, буквально первые 3-4 спуска с открытия курорта. Кайф же как раз расписать вельвет на хорошем уклоне, не заморачиваясь на обработку бугров и на объезд других людей. Да в принципе лично у меня максимум 5 спусков и всё, ноги забиты. Я раньше брал в горы две доски: слаломку и универсал. Если солнечное утро и не было снегопада, то утром на слаломке популял, потом перекус, переобулся в мягкий сетап и по фану уже катаюсь или еду в парк. Сейчас катаюсь только на мягком так как хочется иметь возможность катать и в свиче. Покупать и содержать целый жесткий комплект и тащить его только ради пары-тройки спусков - я уже слишком стар) Может быть когда-нибудь и соберу новый сетап)
Hey Noah. Funnily enough when you posted this comment I was bedridden, enduring a very painful recovery from distal bicep tendon repair surgery. One year later the arm has fully recovered and I'll be starting this season in better condition than I have the past three. You didn't know it know it at the time, but this comment resonated and has stayed with me.
That’s awesome man…. Injuries suck, and they don’t seem to improve as we get older. I’ve had my lower back shut down a few seasons early for me. Glad you feeling better and ready to get after it. The snow is starting to pile up in the high country down here. Hopefully see you at MCC this year 🤙🏻
When you carve, and you get your turning edge deep into the show, should you be throwing a lot of snow into the air? The edge does make a good turn and cuts a good groove. Should the amount of snow you throw up into the air be minimized or not?
@cherrycarves I guess the real answer to my question -- as you said: do what you enjoy -- is: If I enjoy a deep, hard carve, then do it. What I really wonder is: Is there any etiquette? I'm sure caving a 6 inch deep ravine in the middle of a fresh groomer is fround upon.
@RyanKnapton is a visionary; without him none of us would be carving wide boards in soft boots right now. Ryan has so many tricks that I will never be able to do but I have a few myself that he can't do, so it kind of evens out a bit.
@@mooncat.787 Ryan doesn't carve double black diamonds. I think it's a limitation of the duck stance, at least for heelside. And I've never seen him carve a turn more than 270 degrees. I think that's because of his focus on laying out the carves rather than conserving energy by minimizing snow displacement (pencil line). We each carve in our own way, our styles and equipment are very different.
Somehow human physiology evolved to reward our brains with shots of dopamine when pulling high g-forces. Carving is great and generating high g-forces. I am an addict to that dopamine high. It he only thing I’m thinking about when I finish a carving run is getting on the lift and doing it again - and again - and again … until my old body can’t take it anymore 😎😎😎
Right? I don't even want to stop for lunch when it's good... I never feel that way at the end of mountain bike run on the same mountain. I said something similar about the instinctual satisfaction of a good turn in my "Carving Philosophy" video.
Duude get a better camera and do some nice storyboarding, and you can really get some insane views!! Love your philosophy, inspires me to snowboard even more!!
More at metaphor for life...... Brilliant stuff.

Haha... Sounds like something I would say. See you this winter?
Very nice!
Awesome carving, something to work towards. So fun.
It is the best 6 month's of therapy i get, regardless of style. That line is all that matter's.
Right? Wait... your season is six months long??!! Where you at?
Colorado
Your riding is as awesome as your commentaries ! You are so right on ! Thank you and KUDO ! 😊
Thanks Martin!
James is the real deal love ya bro
🤙Yo Russ! Fresh dusting on the peaks last week, it'll be winter again before you know it. See you in Montucky!
"slicing down the mountain" I'll be using this to explain the difference when I'm asked.
Hey Troy! How's that noboard treating ya?
Ты первый человек на ютубе который катается карвингом на красных и черных склонах! Ты крутой 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The modern wide soft boot boards can do anything the hard boot boards can!
Yeah... crowds, ice, and poor grooming are the bane of my winters!
🤙🏻 you sound like Warren Miller ….. was waiting to heal “You’ll only be one year older when you do”

It's not something I think about but yes, a good pencil line carve will throw less snow than a slarve or a Eurocarve.

@@MrAwyork Sounds good to me...

Amen 🙌

Yeah, I know carving but I have no idea what I'm doing on TH-cam and I'm open to advice for sure. Email me? Jamescherry@gmail.com
