Carve one way, spin the other.

[Rosbif]

So today I was playing around with carving in one way, then spinning the other direction, so I was drifting right in the air, but spinning left. I got the idea from a snowboarder spinning frontside off his toes. Anyhow, what do people call this?

 

[BITS]

for rodeos/flatspins mostly

 

[Mike-O]

I don't think it has any particular name, just carving and it does feel nice to do a floaty 180 like that.

 

[kingskier]

i guess would that throw you bio?

 

[NWilkins]

It definitely adds some style to nice slow spins like 1,3 and 5. Because you 'travel' right or left across the deck.....it just looks nice.

 

[Dudesinpools]

any videos/edits of this???

 

[BITS]

Check "whats hood?" on vimeo. Hornbeck is doing a rodeo 5 like that at 2nd or 3rd shot

 

[hendriab]

its like the alley op in a pipe

 

[ESB]

I call it an "opposite carve" spin. It's fun eh?

 

[snowking249]

haha so simple

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

fun trick, add a shifty to this carve spin and its real dope

 

[Evilchris]

this. But I'm not sure if the term is really used in skiing

 

[J-Evs]

im pretty sure theres an actual term for it. its something funny i believe

 

[wintersway]

in pipe, in would be alley oop. thats the closest thing i can think of as a real name for it but i dont think it actually applies to regular jumps.

 

[stefC]

False, think about that for a second.

 

[finchski]

in one of the salomon adds with simon dumont it looks like he dose that at the end with his misty 9

 

[brogilvie]

Yup. Dumont does it all the time. And it does help with a misty/bio set.

 

[Rosbif]

Simple, but effective! And yeah, really fun, I don't want to take off of flat skis anymore!

 

[skodeo7]

Hornbeck really does it well on that 3 in "Whats Hood". He calls it alley oop as well, seems appropriate.

 

[BITS]

But that would be the natural way of carving for a rodeo or what? Seems unnatural to carve right and do a rodeo to me

 

[technique.]

i love doing these, except last time i was skiing i carved a 3 wayyyy too hard, knuckled, and tore my ACL
if its a 180 i call it a shifty drifty 1 though

 

[Blurst]

Ya last season I saw some

 

[Blurst]

Snowboardera doing it so I started playing around and I noticed that anything more than a five sets

 

[Blurst]

FUCKING PHONE!!!! Pretty cork. Bringing this to dubs or something would be wild

 

[BITS]

iPhone? Got the same problem. I don't even press SEND, but sometimes it just fucks up ...

 

[hemlockjibber8]

apparently thats the proper technique for spinning frontside on a board. Carve in on toes>spin frontside without rolling onto your heels. Heels are inefficient and have no pop. Crazy. seems weird but makes sense.
