new video

Post by caspercarver » Thursday 5 August 2010, 9:13

nothing new just in HD quality and and a different venue. Snow King ski resort, a bit steeper than my usual hangout Teton village resort. i used the software supplied with my camera i cannot edit the video at all so it is very short. hopefully i will be doing this on a SWOARD next season. Cheers!

As always, you ride with great seemingly effortless style 8)

No Swoard movies at all?

8O Holy ****, that is really nice 8)
You give extremecarving a new dimension :clap:

Would be phenomenal to do a few (or more) linked backward extremecarvingturns!

Can't wait to go on winterholiday: think I will try a single one to begin with :D

I'm trying the backwards riding thing as well. I now can reliably reverse and do a few scraped turns, but no carved turns yet. First advice: don't try to look where you're going (yet), unless you want to reverse back. Keep looking where you're coming from.

And wear a helmet, you're going to fall like you've never snowboarded before in the first few attempts :lol:

i agree, i cannot see where i am going when i turn around. as you can see from my video the groomers were empty of people. i think a helmet is a very good idea, i have only caught the tail a couple of times but when you do it slams you hard into ground! i think shorter radius boards make this a bit easier, due to slower speed.

I ordered a 158cm Dual and the 161cm M Extremecarver. I am enjoying riding my uni-cycle this summer but cannot wait to ride the new Swoards!!!
