Carving advice needed!

I bet you could pick up the first thing I see you need to work on from reewatching JC's videos, as to where you should be reaching, Id suggest work on the tray drill. I've always reached for my lifted edge heal side for the front edge between my fee and toe side twist and reach for the heel side edge.

Binding angles on this rental

Rental!!!  No wonder...  Where's the JJA SPW???

Just kidding.  You're looking good.

Hard to analyze this video, you're all in black and so far away, and there's only four turns.  But here are a few things to work on:

1. Go faster.  This is flat terrain, even on a rental you can up the speed and create more g force and lean.

2. Drive with your hips into the heelside turn.  Your hand is close to the front knee but it's coming across your torso to get there.  Use the hips instead to get it there.  Looks to me that your hips are facing the toe edge on heelside, a very common mistake.  Get them to face in line with your front foot or even with the nose of the board on steeps.

3. On toeside, exaggerate the lifting of the back hand.  You're reaching down for the snow, reach up with the hand and down with the knees, stretching through the rear obliques to get a high edge angle while keeping the shoulders level.

4.  Try to angulate the board even higher, practice the J-Turn, work on finding the Heelside Position and the Toeside Position as demonstrated in the J-Turn video.  Once you attain the position, find patience there and let the board come around.

I've always reached for my lifted edge heel side for the front edge between my feet, and on toeside twist and reach for the heel side edge.

This is an excellent cue to remind riders to keep the shoulders level!  I might have to steal it...

Thanks @highliner!

@highliner thanks for the cue! will try that next time!

@wild-cherry I know! I wish I could've brought it. Next time I will be on the SPW! Will rewatch the videos and try this out.

Cheers everyone!
