I love your latest video. You guys look so effortless. Thanks so much for providing us with such inspiration. It's great to see the faces, too!

Thanks again for such a wonderful video.

I think that Egyptian style *really* works on the toeside. I did it today with my hands down at my sides as well. And then I looked over my shoulder. But the really great breakthrough came when I practiced hip turns on my skateboard. You can really get the acceleration feel that way. The skateboard ...

Great tips, Peter. Thanks so much. Because of the new super hip turn my backside improved immediately. But my toeside is still my weak side. When you ride with Rob, you tend to get very motivated to improve. Rob rides deceptively smoothly. He can lay it down at very low speeds because he generates s...

Hi, Peter: You're doing a lot of great explaining. I find it very helpful. I should say from the start that I've just spent three days boarding with e-carve maestro, Rob Crobar. Nearly every run, I saw him fully lay out 8 to 12 e-carves in a row on a variety of terrain. (You can tell a true e-carver...

Thanks for a great post, Peter. Any tidbits on hand positions or exercises we can do?

As usual Jacques, you impress me with your common sense responses. I realize that unlike other snowboard techniques, the EC method depends largely on the edges of the board. Most boards are not made for this, so most riders don't wax and sharpen the edges of the their board, unless they ride in icy ...

They have a sexy new Intec redesign but the small base seems to be unchanged.

What changes would be required to make these Cateks suitable for e-carve?

I agree with you Jacques. I am just dreaming out loud.

Great pictures. All you need is a spring that changes load at different rates of compression.

I kind of like black topsheets(timeless, enduring and mysterious) but I also like the natural wood look of your Wild Ducks. The natural look (top secret e-carve technology hidden underneath)has that oneness with nature feel to it. I'm sure nobody else prefers the natural wood look, right?

This is my site of choice when it comes to learning about the kind of snowboarding I am interested in. I no longer have much time for the rantings and egomaniacal outbursts of some on Bomber. (Yes, there are some very helpful people there, too.) Really, I don't have time for people who make fun of ...

Northwave boots are next to impossible to find.
What are the next best choices?

Great, detailed response. It tells me a lot about Bruce's level of board making. I think I have to try a board with 150-155 effective edge with no other variables in order to experiment. The only problem is that my longer race boards have a different flex than my all-mountain board. I am guessing th...

Nate, It's good to know that you're linking hip dragging turns. I'm interested in hearing how you feel about your Coiler's effective edge and flex. Does the board work for you when you're laying out a series of carved turns? I certainly like Canada's custom board manfacturer's, Coiler and Prior, but...
