how do u lay down on a heel side?

Post by Mphdemon » Tuesday 20 January 2004, 18:16

Hey everyone, I have been carving for a couple of years now and I can get pretty low. I can do ec carves on my toe side, but on my heel side I'm in kind of a sitting possiton. The bottom half of my body is close enough that I would be doing and EC carve if my upper body continued that line. I've tried to just stand up straight but when I do that then I loose my edge. do i need more speed, or am I doing it wrong? When you're doing and EC carve on your heel, are you still in that sitting position and you have just rotated your body so that it's in-line with your board? Any advice would be appreciated. 8) :D 8) :D
