Nice Video! while most of videos on RUclips describe this kind of turn as dynamic turn, your video explained very well from a different angle, much easier for beginners to understand the concept without knowing the technical terms. Please post more!
The body alignment is amazing in the video. However, when should snowboarders try to open up the shoulder ? when doing small quick turns? Or should avoid opening shoulder at any stage?Thank you.
Thanks for your comment Supernovasia! Rotating your shoulders is just to help rotating your hips and lower body. And it's used for starting a turn. Thus, I recommend you not to focus just on rotating your shoulders but with your hips and lower body. My shoulders looks like rotating by its self but it is actually the result of rotating my hips and front knee. Rotating hips and front knee is not visible much so I can understand why people are locked their eyes on shoulder movement. While working on short radios turns you certainly need to rotate your whole body quick. So helping to rotate your hips by rotating your shoulders will be necessary. When you will need the rotating your shoulders is at the beginning to change edges and to start next turn. If you add a rotation after changing edges it's too late and it will cause extra spinning and skidding your board while turning.
@@snowboarddojowiz2928 Thank you very much. I will focus more on rotating the knees and hips in the future. BTW, is there a video about how to make quick short radius turn, (rocking from edge to edge) in your channel? thank you.
That's the idea I'm recently requested from others on the comment section in the Revert Carve tutorial. Now you are requesting it too so I must make it! It's now on the top priority in our future tutorial list. Hope we can publish it in a few weeks!
Thanks for your comment Andy! If you are riding in pow, you are obviously required to put your weight on back leg all the time. If you are riding in trees and moguls, you will be required quick turns where you won't have much time to move your weight fore and back. On steep slopes, you can move your weight barely forward in the beginning and back in the bottom half of a turn. Racers are using this method to bent the nose side of the board in the beginning with more weight on fore leg so that they can get into the turn quick. And they move their weight to back leg to release pressure forward so that they can finish turns cleaner and will get more acceleration. However if the slopes are groomed you will be fine staying in the center of the board as I don't move my weight fore and aft while riding. My weight is not in the center but barely on the back leg. It's just my case and you can try moving weight fore and back if you have more time to do while riding. It's certainly useful technique when you need a pressure management on the steep slopes, while riding with high speed and so on.
Being a native Mandarin speaker, I think the translation is legit. Translating moguls into mushrooms in Chinese captures the essence of both the sound and shape. Well done actually.

Thanks for your comment Mike!
Great content. My coach told me to do exactly the same exercise to improve my posture while riding. This helps alot to visualise. Thx !
Thanks for your comment JuGgY!
Dam you guys go into the small details 👌🏻

really looking forward to it
I really need that skill to tackle cat tracks and narrow runs.
Thanks in advance
Any tips on managing fore and aft pressure during these types of turns?

Very helpful tips. Thank you!
Btw. we don’t call moguls mushrooms.😉
Thanks for pointing it again Rui! I will let it know to my translation team!

Thanks for your comment again Supernovasia!
Supernovasia Actually I didn’t find a word for moguls in Chinese. But it sounds similar indeed.😉
