Ok, sorry my misunderstanding. I just connect in my mind your slalom boards, videos and some of your words.WinterGold wrote:.. in my books ... - it is just an English saying - it means that for me a racing technique doesn´t really exist, because there is no special technique for racing. Racers just use different technique elements and combine them for their own purpose. But nevermind ...
Advantages for freecarving? An advantage for what? That is the question!
The SL in the title just refers to slalom boards and not to any race technique.
What i consider a good technique for a freecarving. It is a set of skills to steer a snowboard that help the rider to ride on any kind of surface keeping speed, stability, maneurability and not spend much of energy, i.e. have fun for a whole day.It is about advantages that i seek in racer skills.
I call counter-rotation that movements when rider`s body moves against the direction of the turn.WinterGold wrote: There is no counter rotation that I´m aware of. Maybe you have a different definition what a counter rotation is.
Sometimes it can happen if you hit a bump, etc. (see the picture taken from your mentioned CMC video).
Maybe you can post a few screen shots where I use counter rotation?
For example if regular rider does backside turn his left hand and shoulder moves forward a bit. This turn upper body and hips against the direction of the turn. Do you agree with that definition?
I do not like the idea to make a screenshot because static picture is not illustrate my point. Would you like to get a PM with a time of your videos where i spotted what i call counter-rotation?
