滑板基地 Taiwan Snowboarding Station - 滑雪就從這裡開始!

請問一下, 有人是用positive & negative angle在 carving 的嗎? 因為我覺得把兩個bindings都調成positive angle(同邊)的話比較好carve, 但是我後腳的binding調成negative的角度時, 我的heelside carve都會刮到雪....Frustrating...

因為最近想練不擅常的Regular, 可是有時又想要好好的carving一下滿足速度感..請前輩們指點一下了...

I can carve with forward (+,+) or duck (+,-) stance, regular or switch with soft/hard boots.
As an alpine rider, yes, it's easier to carve with forward stance (both positive binding angles). If you use freeride/ freestyle equipment to carve, you want to use a stiffer boots, bindings and board. If you set up an edge properly, it's all the same for soft/hard boots equipment. For addicted carver, but still want to stick with soft boots, I strongly recommend boardercross board.



You mean practicing switch? If you know how to use your edges and has the basic movement, riding switch is no big difference.

*A good freestyler, should be able to carve comfortably on regular or switch.

Cheers Pan. Just out of curiosity, what's your stance on your board and your height? like how far apart are your bindings and what angle? Is your stance twin (in middle) or a bit set back when you freeride? thanks.

coz i can carve good when setting both of my bindings on positive angle, but when i set my bindings on positive and negative, I cant do a clean heelside carve :S

can you please teach me some tips on how to carve on positive and negative binding angles? :)

My stance has changed a lot recently. I'm 170 and weight 135-40. I like very stiff and long board and my riding style is more like racer. The following are my binding setup last year and this year:

Last year:
Alpine: +50,+40, 1 degree front and back cant, 20 inch apart, 5-7 cm setback
Freeride: +18, +6, 3 degree front forward lean and 5-7 back forward lean, 23.5 inch apart, 5-7cm setback
Freestyle: +12, -3, 3 degree back forward lean, 5 cm setback

This year:
Alpine: +50, +45, 3 degree back lift and 1 degree back cant, 19.5 inch apart, 5-6 cm setback
Freeride and freestyle: +18, +6, 3 mm riser, 1 degree front forward lean and 3 degree back forward lean, 23 inch apart, 5 cm setback

Recently:
Alpine: +55, +50, 1 degree front lift and 3 degree back lift, 19 inch apart, 5cm setback
Boardercross: +21, +9, 3mm riser,1 degree front forward lean and 3 degree back forward lean, 22.5 inch apart, 5 cm setback
Freeride and freestyle: +12, +3 to -3, w/ or w/o riser, 0-1 degree back forward lean. 22 inch apart, 2-4 cm setback

I change my stance according to the equipment, terrain, and riding style. There is no one setup perfect for everything, but only more efficient setup. I heard Shawn has both positives on his bindings.

There is no secret in carving, it's all about balancing on your edges. Wait for the pressure build-up on your board. Tip your body into the turn and let your board do the work. Start from easy groom terrain, then to steeper slope. Once you master it, you can carve on any place with any setup. Make sure it's not too icy and your edges are not too dull.

有機會的話，來點影片，會比較好看出問題在哪裡!

恩恩謝謝, 最近幾次都練習Duck feet stance Carving, 已經比之前蠻習慣很多了 :)
