I see numerous comments questioning Kevin on putting weight on the back foot and you guys saying you should weight the front foot. Kevin is correct here. You do want to weight the front leg to initiate the carve but as the carve comes around you want to shift your weight to the center of the board and then towards the back of the board. This will give a better edge hold and prevent it from washing out. Malcolm Moore talks about the same thing. It's called fore and aft pressure along the length of the entire edge.

Hi Kevin, I wanted to say thank you for creating this video and all of your other content. I am an intermediate snowboarder that has snowboarded around 12 times over the last 16 years or so. Yesterday I got on a board for the first time in three years and had one of my best days yet on the slopes. They way you explain transitioning from your toe to hill edges as well as steering with your lead knee is very easy to follow, and really helped me out yesterday when I tried it. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures for others to enjoy!

Interesting you say at # 2 to put weight on back leg… I might challenge that and say people tend to put too much weight on the back leg and use it too much to pump the breaks by spinning it around. It really is a feel thing tho I think, we just “feel” different things on the carve but get the same result. Good video :)

Definitely. Carving on a freestyle board is different kind of movement in duck stance. If you have both feet to the front its different.Also DO NOT put weight on the back foot. Here you can see that you always keep centered, this guy is really good: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uq6Lsn-npqd3hHY See how he slowly changes edges before the turn without "catching an edge", which shows perfect control of the board. Also no hand movement.

Hoi Lambert, if I could add due to maybe translation error 1 - "carving" board - slightly stiffer, no boot overhang? Don't need wide unless you have big feet 2 - to not counter rotate - initate with upper body - (head/shoulders) to avoid counter rotation? 3 - bum in = commit 🙂 4- stretch during turn - push out at apex of turn (perpendicular to piste direction) - sort of the opposite of instruction for beginner boarding I guess. +1: look over your shoulder for fast movers before initiating turn. Please - carver video creators - bake this in to your videos. these techniques use up the entire piste, let's be responsible.

Ur wasting ur snow days if u ride only half day. And I think the guy who asked the question probably just hasn't a good posture on the board and charges too much on the legs so he feel tired before, because I don't practice any sport and I can handle a 7 week trip with 8 hours every day riding, as any of my friends who come with me, also my parents can... if u want to improve it and ride more time without feeling ur legs tired just try 1h with an instructor and trust me then everything will change and u will be able to ride as long as u want, u just have to learn in which position ur legs can impress the same force or maybe less if not needed but with a much more comfortable angle😀

Start with weight over the back but as you advance it's about the front foot. You want extremely balanced weight and body position. It is about getting low. Deep squats. You can push out to ark a carve tighter, but squatting and engaging the squat deeper through the carve will give you the edge power and hold to rip on steep blues, through chopped and variable. A solid front foot is the key to all of this. It becomes painfully obvious as you start to train switch carving to the same level and your front foot weight, control and power isn't there at all compared, which creates the limitations to skill between the stance as you build up muscle, nervous system connections and confidence. Xavier de la rue has a great few minute clip of content ripping a carve and explaining and he rides big steep lines in back country on ice sheet lol.

#2 is not great advice and seems to be confusing people. Turns are most optimally initiated with weight slightly on the front foot (in most situations). To your point, it is important to shift weight towards the back foot through the control and completion phases of the turn to lock in the carve and prevent chatter/skidding out, but you're fighting gravity if you're leaning back as you try to initiate a carve. When I teach people carving and start showing them different ways to get dynamic, I literally have them initiate turns with weight on the back foot so they get a feel for how much harder it is to turn your board compared to having proper posture (knees bent, balanced stance, shoulders parallel to the slope of the hill). The steeper the terrain, the more obvious this becomes. For anybody trying to work on carving steeper terrain, be sure that you start with your weight slightly forward and shift it back for control throughout the turn.

Really love your videos, but this time i have to comment: I really advise against putting weight on the back. With the weight back you do not have control to hold on the edge. If you get on ice with the weight on the back foot, you lose traction. Always try to lean forward. If you think you are too far on the front foot, let someone make a photo. Chances are 100%, that you are perfectly centered. Also in the video you did have much weight on the back foot all through, maybe a bad habit from powder riding? ;-) One very good Move is to start turning by moving the front hand to the back knee for frontside turn and then moving the back hand to front knee for backside turn. Gives you perfect rotation and good weight shift. Another one: Try putting both hands on your thighs, it really helps against the hand movements and to develop feeling for the board which is essential for good carving.

In Europe I was taught to compress the knees before entering the turning phase of the carve so you don’t unload the edge before the turn. Then as you enter the second half of the carve release the compression pushing the loading down through your edge to maintain traction and power out of the turn. This takes commitment and confidence in your edges, but the acceleration out of the carve is great.
