360° EC turn

Post by **cmachine** » Wednesday 18 December 2002, 18:32

Hi all

Some carver told me that they can do a 360° turn. Unfortunately I've never seen one.
Has one of you experience with this? How is the technique; same as EC (push/pull)?
Is it possible to get up after a full circle?

A snowboard teacher even told me that he can do a 360 with soft boots

. (But he told me this after some beers at a party

)

Would be nice if one can post a link with a video here.

Hi cmachine,

In the winter 2002 video J&P make a 360 carving turn. I guess it must be possible, but you probably need quite some speed so you wont' lose momentum in the turn.

Hi cmachine,

The second "inside" EC turn in EXTREME DREAMER is a 360° one.
The people standing at the beginning of the turn are back at the end.

These two "inside" turns are real EC turns holding the video camera in one hand.

Hi

I've seen this "inside" turns on the video too. But would be interesting to see it from "outside".

Wow, I'm amazed about this. Doing a 360 and even be able to hold a camera

How ist the technique? Is the turn fully laid with the whole body in the snow as the "normal" EC-turns are? Frontside and backside possible?
