Drones are giving interesting images of extremecarving to understand how it is possible riding like this.
The original technique by the founders in 2002 is inspired from surfing: rotation of upper body and push-pull of the legs. The rider leads the board in rotation and can control pressure on toes and heels. Specific setup: modified hard boots (soft and long springs), reduced bindings angles and... the original extremecarving snowboards, which are wide alpine boards, not stiff longitudinally but with great torsion control, very stable and totally controllable: the rider is never locked in the turns. This is really different from snowboard racing with different timing and setup. It's also quite different from the tricks of the nineties, like the frontside Vitelli turn made in counter-rotation (sometimes called eurocarving, what is obsolete). Swoard created a new discipline of snowboarding by linking the fully laid turns with ease and smoothness on specific snowboards which are really fun to ride, from beginner to expert.
World is now back to excitement of making great turns, what is the essence of snowboarding.
