Personal Best Carving Photos

[Pow]

Now that the season's over for almost everyone on here, I thought i'd start a thread about your best carving photos. c'mon, be vain:ices_ange

Here's mine, cropped from a short video made by paragon:

[pebu]

I wish I had photos of myself. Somehow whenever I go boardin with my friends, nobody wants to take a run or two off to man the camera. The only pic I have is this one.

Ooooh, what a day!:D

I know it's not carving and I know it's not even an action shot, but still that is one of my favorite pictures.

[Pow]

all i want to know is... how did you get your board back on?:lol:

Taken in April, on my favorite board the Virus Cyborg Titanal… at one of my favorite runs, Aztec on Aspen Mountain :1luvu:

all i want to know is... how did you get your board back on?:lol:

My buddy, who took the picture, was on groom. It only took me about 20 minutes to get the 20 feet that I was away from the groom/hardpack. Totally worth it though.

[Ray]

wow Ray, very cool:cool: who takes your pictures???:confused:

These two pics were taken by Richard (Switzerland). He was part of Joerg’s (Pureboarding) group in April. Yea, I got lucky, two really high-quality shots he took.

[BlueB]

Just about the only close-up I've got...

[oldvolvosrule]

Here's mine, thanks to Scott Firestone!! These were taken at Park City at the 06 WTC.

I really like how you can see your trench in the background. Was that on purpose or just by chance?

[Surf Quebec]

Boy, do I hate the month of May ....

Only 7 months to carve unless I win at the lottery and go carving in Chile

You've still got time for a quick trip to Colorado. Maybe even until June sometime this year.

Can't find it GRRRRR ! I have a few more, but need to locate the buddy who has them, lost his email from Bromley.

[Istvan]

Pebu, nice pic.... ;) next time add some snow spray and board bending.... :biggthump

[colintkemp]

Spil,

The trench backdrop was totally by chance. I was trying to get a heel side right in front of my better half (she's great with a camera). So, to get situated for that, I put down a toe side that would get me aiming right at her (probably pretty dumb actually). As it would turn out the angle of her shot, capture the trench.

Thanks for the email.

Kurt,

Thanks buddy. I think Tara and I will need to make Canada next year, or we can meet somewhere half way (SES....).

Beer? I use it when I brush my teeth.

Colin

[colintkemp]

PS - I know I should not post numerous shots, but take a look at the trenches I dug on this one. Amazing, really...

[colintkemp]

Take 2

[Vahur]

Oh well, decided also to show off (though it's from season 06/07). Showing here how low person can fall (without touching the snow :) ) Backside not so good, but I'm working on it...

Hows this at 65 years old at Park City this year? On Sitka run. Too much fun! BC: Thanks! I was lucky enough to follow the late John Goodwin down the hiil at Sun Valley. He got me going, then I hooked up with Terry English, Frank Moreles and Ray! I think you can see Ray on this thread. Frank raced for Sims when it all started and Terry is still one of the best in the world!

[big canuck]

I looked that good at 40!! Dude you're killing it and, on a Burner!!!??? Adopt me and teach me your ways!!

Willy Witt, I didnt realize it to now the shot you posted is you!! Killer guy. Edit: **** not WW but Mud. Nice shot.

[KingCrimson]

Quentin, that heelside is fantastic! Mid-carve Indy grab!

:D

[photodad2001]

Sean Martin that is!!!

Is that on a Razor?

[Quentin]

NNNNOOOOOO!!!! :nono: I wish I could take the credit, but that was Ray. He is WWWAAAAYYYY out of my league. I am sure he appreciates the compliment. And yes he is phenomenal!!!

[KingCrimson]

Ahh okay thanks for the clarification.

It must be such a treat to see that funky grab-carving!

Hanging on for dear life after a BAD mistake is the only time I could see that happening on my board.

Check out the knee cap trench in the 2nd shot, that is some fine work on both side of the cameras :biggthump

I love the smooth arc of the board as opposed to the kink at the front binding; IE nose about to fold

blue on the front, yellow on the back? I like that idea.

[Dave*]

A rare photo of me this spring at Cypress in some spring slush, photo emailed to me by Rod the softbooter.

Sure people can ride, but my hat is off the the guys that can take a picture, I cant take a decent snowboarding picture to save my life.

[alexgforce]

Is that on a Razor?

You are correct. The 2 last photos of ma are on the RAZOR with Cateks and burton boots.

I think that's photoshopped. Burners don't ride that good.

Sweet pics JJ. Seeing those together I can almost see how your ride. May not make sense to some - great glimpse into your style.

:biggthump

It's a very relaxed style. You can tell he's not scared of going down or anything. Arms are low, sometimes hands even on the knees. It's a pretty pure style.

Not super hi res LOL but it was some of my best carving. It's funny how it's hard to get those perfect days...the right light, the right snow, light crowds, and time off of work to enjoy it. Oh yeah, and somebody with a camera to grab a picture at just the right moment. The pictures in this thread are really great!

[alpinegirl]

but nothing beats a work in progress... WCS ladies, as of 2 seasons ago i was closer to taming the beast, even on a bad day. i've worked on ceasing to flap my arms and continued the separation of "ze knees." goal on recentering has been helping my riding a lot. also finally succumbing to repairing my knee has allowed for improvement as well. looking forward to a much more productive season this year. winter where are you??

I don't have many pictures but this is a "best carving picture" because the landscape was just amazing

not a single mention of an alpine set up, or any catek or bombers in it.......

such hogwash.......

[b0ardski]

when is the last time TWS had plate binders or carving boards, I gave up on that waste of ink 10 yrs ago when the add to article ratio topped 60-40:barf:

[Dave ESPI]

Boardski, AGREE totaly man!

I look through it and I say to myself " a bunch of jaggofds snowboarding (more like jibbing) in places they should not be, and usualy doing stuff that is "NOT RECCOMENDED" for anyone, and it tends to be "pass pulling" sort of antics on any mountain by ski-patrol.

Not to mention they must have a colorblind ghey ape working for the clothing design department for most of these companies..... SERIOUSLY . WHO WEARS THIS S H I T ! >?


gappers?

must be, because atleast in this thread here on BOL, we all look like we know W.T.F. we are doing, and have some corridnated fashion sense!

I only got the subscription (by default) with my USASA membership.

the Mag also "pisses me off" too. I think I'll cancel, and ask for my "refund". Just not sure of the "three dollar value" connotation that they card says........ if all I get is a crappy magazine for 12 months, or 3.00, I think I'll take the 12 months of fire starting material to burn at the lodge fireplace ;)

[Corduroy Artisan]

This is a great thread!!! Im so computer incompetent that i cannot post mine but its really cool!!!

Thanks to the MES get together I have some cool pics of me carving, I've only been doing it half my life now. It was about time I got some pics:biggthump

[Wun]

Im so computer incompetent that i cannot post mine but its really cool!!!

If you've got anything worth sharing, everyone would love to see them! I encourage you to read here (http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=9730) in order to try to learn!

I almost think this thread should be stickied :D Oh well.

[carvedog]

on the idea of a sticky on this.

[Wun]

It's a great idea, until the thread ages and picture links start breaking like they are destined to on ze internets.:smashfrea Not that I would complain if it did end up stickied.

There are always other options, but just about any solution that's actually good will probably end up being a big time sink. I can only imagine what will be done about the gear reviews section.

[kildy]

two people do euro carves one circle inside the other at the same time. The outside guy holds onto the snowboard of inside guy's, off snow edge.....
be careful when the outside guy holding the edge pushes off the inside guys board to get back up, he will most definitely screw the inside guy real quick, but what a photo it would be. Bill Enos was the inside guy he almost hit a lift tower (very close)... I could never get him to do again for that photo...... <O:p</O:p
I never understood why

Here's a couple more. Time frame: 1996, Mammoth, CA. Chair 4. Equipment: 171 Burton Asym Alp, Burton Race plates, Burton Reactors. Thoughts running through my mind: Damn, I am looking good carving. Little did I know I was doing it allllllll so wrong.

Wrong? You look like you're having a blast.

Tim, it was either 95 or 96. That was the first year of the Blue wood grained Alp. Not only the equipment changed, I did too. Just checked Derf's catalogs, it was 95

Steve, I was carrying "a fair whack of speed". You can tell, I was going so fast the air friction burned the hair right off the top of my head!!!

[KingCrimson]

I was gonna say..I thought it was the topsheet of the board most people polish to a mirror finish.

[Hotbeans]

:lol:. Let me know what polish you use. As my hairline recedes, I'm thinking a good base prep wax, then (depending on outside temp, of course.) a good hot wax should do it..

Hair burned? U turns under the sheets maybe?

He posts sometimes on the Swoard forum.

Ehm... did anybody call me?

Uhmmm... you've got a spy... beacuse... someone found me, telling that my name was mentioned on this forum! :-)
I hope it has been mentioned for nothing that's considered "wrong"!!!

RicHard, people just wanted to know if the picture in post #126 above is you. Looking at your photo gallery, it must be you (pic 20 (http://www.riccardoriccardo.com/Galleria/VARIE/Snowboard%20%28RicHard%29/slides/RicHard01.html)).

LOL... yeah it does sorta enhance the lame-attude of my shot! And I think the board makes my butt look big.

[Kimo]

I don't think there's any lameness in the shot. I just like the contrast between you and the skier. You're rockin' it and she's... uh... definitely not rockin' it. In all honesty, I can't see your butt in that pic, but I would guess that it's all that pizza and beer that's making your butt look big. :D

[shawndoggy]

This is a Cool shot...nice Form :biggthump

I'm sure that none will complain if you continue to ride this way during ECS. :D
Not that there is something wrong with SES in Aspen, I myself am thinking about hitting those slopes once again sometimes in future...



Also if anyone thinks I am doing something wrong, please tell me as I am always looking to improve.

Looks nice to me, but what do I know about technique :rolleyes:

For race style heelside turn suggestions maybe this thread is of help:
Backside turn.... (http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=22333)

As per last comment by philfell you should rise your leading hand to avoid hitting snow with it.

[Willow 15]

When i raced, a long time ago it was with ski gates so we had to punch/body check them out of the way(if you are any good the boot's/ankles got a hammering). No broken wrists just a wickedly fast punches if trouble came our way. Bring back long poles.

[KingCrimson]

DECAMBER! Wow!

[BlueB]

Scrutton? It looks more like a nose fold... I wander what happened right after that shot?
Below is our local "boardbender", Dave. Photo by Rod Dorras.

Bro, besides me, there was Dave, Rod and Tony "Cousin", then later Jeff joined in, too.

Yup, I could take your 177 for a spin, but what I'm going to find out that I don't know already? I rode Prior metals 183/19.5 custom, 173/19.5, and 177/23 FatJack - they are all great. I know that 177 is bang on flex for you, as it is a tad stiffer then 173 and you are a tad heavier then me. However, recover soon, then you can take both 173 and 177 for a spin, yourself!

[Kimo]

I was thinking nose fold too. Either that or a catapult.

[scrutton]

Testing my memory now, but yeah as I recall. the nose did fold, then sprung back, and I managed to ride it out. Think I was loading it up quite a bit for that photo.

The nose bend - is that a common phenomenon?

The board was fine, and I still ride it - its my main carving stick.

Second question - now that I have three alpine boards, I just made the discovery yesterday, that the progression in length is directly proportional to the decrease in width. ie. my 190cm board is the skinniest, and my 166cm board is the widest. The Prior (175cm) shown in the photos is bang in the middle.

Is this just a function of getting the similar performance out of a board, you have to have a certain amount of physical material to work with, in terms of providing stiffness and response, or is it perhaps due to short slalom boards working at lower speeds, that maybe you can get away with a fatter board; easier to ride at lower speeds? ie. everything is moving at slower speeds, so you have time to make the wider edge to edge transition.

[KingCrimson]

I think it's ultimately down to the flex pattern and where you are in the turn. If you're in the middle of your hard "drive" through the fall line, that's probably when it will be kinked the most.

Look at Swoards- they almost all kink in the nose.

There's a picture of Jack on a big Donek FC (?) where the nose is WAY up.

There's definitely something aesthetically pleasing about that Prior under Dave's feet. Perfect radial flex.

[bonestock]

Really really nice pictures!


Backside edge... I was never able to figure that one out. Don't get me wrong, I can carve on the frontside edge no problem (lay flat on the ground), but to lean really far on the backside edge (lay flat on the ground) while carving, well, no. Maybe someone could give me a couple of hints... And the board I ride is PJ 5.4 (which IMO is capable of doing so, the problem is the test pilot). :rolleyes:

[BlueB]

The best place to learn EC technique on-line:
http://www.extremecarving.com/index.html

I'm not an expert, but few key words are:
- commitment
- rotation
- timing of flexion/extension

Also, the boards have come long way since your PJ... Although, PJ is probably better choice then some of the supper stiff narrow boards of the area that followed the PJs.
Metal made it easier for everyone, EC included.

Thanks for the tips! Now let's see..

Don't set more than 55 degrees on the front foot. Check!

Set the rear foot 5 to 8 degrees less than the front one. Check!

Set enough stance between the feet and place them in the middle of the contact length. Check!

Avoid any canting pad (set your bindings flat on the board), WRONG! because it harms significantly the correct body movement and edge control. The pad under the heel of the rear foot pushes the chest in counter-rotation position (facing the nose) and reduces the frontside edge grip under this foot (the nose will bite the snow, which causes a beautiful frontside flip!). The lateral canting pads put the knees together and reduce the backside edge grip under the rear foot (the tail will sideslip) and also reduce the movement ability.

So getting rid of the cant plate is needed and is the first step! And all these years I tought the little plastic device was helping me.Furthermore, the board bending during the laid turns already induces a canting under both feet.
Set the same calf canting to both of your boots .

So were you quoting someone's list of things there. Black is someone?

Red is you?

You have confused me.

[BlueB]

Well, you need to go by the width of the board and size of your boots, really. I those pics I ride 19.5 wide Prior metal, which dictated 60/55 angles.
Also, I ride 6deg heel lift back and 3deg toe lift forward - this is highly individual.

We better start an EC tips tread before we totally highjacked this tread...
Can one of the mods copy-paste the last few posts into the new tread in the main forum?

As for moving this into a new thread. I agree 100%

[BlueB]

Well, we can transfer it to the new tread oureslves:
Start a new tread, say "EC tips" in the main forum;
Copy/Paste your first EC related question (post #165), then delete it in this tread;
Then I copy/past my reply, delete;
Then you, with your next, and so on until it's all in the new tread...

Chubz, it's the GoPro 5 wide. 5mp camera, with a fisheye lens. I got mine at REI with the 20% off coupon. It's $190, so I got it for $152. They're all over ebay for about that price too.

I used the archos 605 in the past, and I'm very stoked on the GoPro. The Archos was way finnicky, and the GoPro just works. I just posted a vid too... check it out. For the money it's a way cool device. It can also be set up to shoot stills every two seconds.

Huh...maybe it's my contacts. I have Dailies. I've had them dry out sprinting the 100m and had my left one fall out once. Also once when I was on the slopes. I always carry eye drops to moisten them up once or twice a day on the mtn. I'll look into it, thanks King.

KingCrimson is correct, they are made by "BUGZ".
I've always worn glasses and surprisingly, these fit better over my Oakley Square Wire frames than any others I tried, which is the main reason I chose them. They're also lightweight, and don't fog up or scratch easily. They do let some air in at high speeds, but that's mainly due to the frames of my glasses not allowing them to seal perfectly on the sides. You might want to give them a try... :biggthump

Guess I shouldn't have made the snobs down here statement, you're in the OC! :lol:

I've found the most useful part of goggles is they catch your contacts when you slam your face into the ground so hard they pop out.

Low res but you get the idea....

From NES last weekend, too bad the picture isn't rotated properly - look at the trees.

this is what happens when a juvenile (read: a young inkaholic) encounters drifts along the side of a groomer. while he's technically not carving, he is on an alpine board.

while the old inkaholic hasn't done a backflip on plates in a while (notice I only said plates), we still get to see 360's on a near weekly basis.

[corey_dyck]

That's really cool! The picture perspective makes it look like he's riding a snowblade version of a monoski. ;)
