This is for those who understand EC

keep remember where you are, RicHard

Alexey, you have to give a bit more context to those vids - this young lady just started to practice EC in Moscow indoor slope which is desperately flat and crowded.So, i think she is good.

Context ? Unnecessary ! Im looking only for comments. No more.

I think on the first 2 the push is done with a wrong timing that is why she (?) falls on her belly... (besides the low speed). Also bending over too much. But if this is only the beginning of the learning curve, she'll do fine.

Most probably flat indoor slopes were not designed to EC.

Cheers

Hey, this girl managed to get down lower than I ever got since I started carving three years ago. Especially the last video isn't bad at all (in my humble opinion).
This is the kind of people I'd like to go carving with, to learn from each other.

Christian, if you do everything right and there is a person who you can learn from - this is a matter of 2-3 hours to make you lay down in frontside completely. Come to Moscow

Hello Starikashka,

2-3 hours to learn how to lay down? Let me see, if I leave now (Friday evening), I could be in Moscow on Sunday morning! After all, it's only 2221 km / 30 hours.
OK, just joking.
But your remark gives me new hope.
Last winter I got down as low as this photo shows, and I hope to really lay down on frontside this winter.

Sorry man

did not get your point

I just wanted to say that extremecarving is a bit better than what your can see in those video

Post by **starikashka** » Saturday 8 November 2008, 11:18

yes, what is Patrcie and Jaques doing is better

Can you do the same?

Last year I tried to get down as far as possible WITHOUT touching the snow, only held up by g-forces. Maybe I should try lying down like the girl does (but with a bit more speed on a steeper slope).

Don't forget that not everybody here is a professional extremecarver. I began carving in hardboots two years ago, and I joined this forum in order to learn from others.

"I'm also learning", like starikashka, and I hope to keep learning and getting better!
