Last two videos are really great!
But what can you say about this computer modulation:

This modulation was created by moscow raiders, such Starikashka, Dron, Irina Serchagina.
This video shows exactly how they understand the style of Extreme Carving.
Do not you think that something strange is happening with the figure at 0:05 second?
Unfortunately in Russia, such an understanding of your style prevails..
Is there something wrong? :-)))

Imho : Computer simulation is ok! It shows, perhaps a bit exaggerated but very clearly, rotation the torso and arms.
As previously said, Patrice and Jacques - training the body rotation is an essential exercise for any beginner.

I'm learning at this stage. :)

There are some important details that you do not see. For example that neither Jacques nor Patrice never twist to this extent. It's amazing that people are familiar with them, focus attention on the twisting, while ignoring the more important components of extremecarving!
But nobody talks about them.

I have seen so many examples of "next level" raiders..br-r-r-r

fivat wrote: I have a small remark for the students about the "4. Frontside laid turn" sequence. Cross the slope already low on the legs and then push the legs when you lay down. The video gives the feeling that one has to pull the legs (instead of push) because Ben is quite straight in the transitions.
First thanks a lot Ben for this video, I'll have it on my i-phone to start EC practicing this winter !

And I have a remark on what patrice said, from a student point of view of course.

In Ben's video the rotation technique seems natural when he's standing, the board turns when the body stops the rotation

Thinking of rotating the torso while already low on the legs doesn't seem natural to me ... is it easier to induce the turn this way ? Also isn't it much more tough for the legs (and knees) to stay low while crossing the slope ?

Thanks !
