Carving

Carving is a fun way to cruise down huge hills and roads whilst still keeping control of your board. It’s basically just a cool way to bomb a hill, but also if done properly it can help you control your speed wile your riding.

Carving is a simple maneuver. To carve turn left and right on the hill, keeping your weight on the side that you turn on.


· First turn up the hill heel side, putting your weight on your heels and lean back up the hill to turn left (only if your regular footed, the opposite if your goofy).

· Then turn back down the hill toe side again applying weight on your toes so that your turn back up the hill.

· Then continue down the hill for as long as you like doing the same thing and also try to add in some grabs for style and to carve harder all the way to the bottom.

Carving is just like weaving down the hill, the wider theses weaves are the more control you will keep over your board due to a smaller amount of speed. The tighter you turn, the more speed you will lose, but if you do the opposite you can cruise down the hill as fast as you like and style out the road.

Now get out there, go carve up your hills!
