Cheers. Too much win for one person. Now it's out there for anyone that wants it. When the student is ready, the teacher will come.Quote:

So short skis are back in now?
I thought heart carving was something inmates do to make the new arrivals (asses) feel welcome...
Skiboarding: The future is calling. Are you brave enough to answer?
So, the future is kid's skis and beginner slopes?
They were looking at you because you are a giant ass muncher and your faggotry is a spectacleQuote:

But it's also without poles, and to a large extent injuries, worrying about powder with new and better sensations.
If you're a drummer it's like switching to the Moeller technique. Better to begin with it, switching is harder.
Good luck - I'd advise hiring a parabolic slalom ski for a day and seeing if you want to go that way.
Funny you have that thought, I am looking at your avatar like that right now, so you'd have to know.Quote:

off topic but charles martel - that's an awesome sig.
did you have to learn to live with the white paint??
Not even close to that snowboarder who "bowed" down to the greatness of the heartcarve. Nice work man. You are winning. You have the spirit to post up essentially a 14.5 minute POV on TGR that doesn't have any powder in it. I mean the pow is there, but you aren't in it.Quote:

Don't you fucking dare. It will make everything you have accomplished here be totally pissed away.Quote:

Just because many of the detractors here are balking at receiving the lesson - the subconscious has. And is better for it.
Ski on heart carve man, and if you do pull this thread - I hope every little kid in Europe pees on you from the chairlift everytime they cross your very short ski track.
Thanks... but need more likes on my vids.... haters don't buy.Quote:

Do you have any videos of your big airs?Quote:

biff chalupa - you're a true hero, thanks anyway. (the video on this thread is the consolidation)

If only my uninitiated mass could have intuited the hidden secrets of heartcarving over the thousands of snow days I've accumulated in the last 40 yrs I could have left this lowly plane of existence and ascended to the great green groomers of the next realm.
Wasting all that time on those alpine skis, nordic skis, monoskis, ski bikes, snurfers, snowboards, race boards, powder boards, carving boards, flexible flyers, inner tubes and saucers, fills me with laughter thinking If only I'd spent a couple more days on the Head Liners I too could be enlightened:confused:
b0ardski - you're not alone, but your experience has certainly lent you skill, and with it humility:
So what was your favorite? Were you seeking of finding?Quote:
I "wasted" 3 years learning how to snowboard and getting good at it only to find skiboarding that was fun right from the start and had a much easier learning curve so I know how you feel.....

f2f: welcome to the world of old-school heartcarving.. I never expected it to lead me to skiboarding or tgr. But it has and I've accepted it.Quote:

So I'm gathering interest on the limited edition Heart Carver I am aiming to produce to get this tsunami on its way, to ride it, and to devastate the haters and pole-using jackasses.

They look as stable as Lindsay Lohan. I don't see the appeal. But, have fun with 'em.
They could help, but they didn't help him. The OP is still way backseat. So umm, why would I ski these rather than a WC SL ski if I wanted to rail turns?Quote:

This is for real and there's a whole website dedicated to ski boarding?
Although I guess there would have to be.
This is what happens when delusion, super ego and a slight mental impairment all combine. Can you imagine if this supergaper, Tom from Rax and the GSA all combined powers...unstopable.

Didn't the "future" already happen during the mid 90's?
Biff - yes to a large degree... the (heart) carves come at slower speeds with the shorter boards and the smaller radius skis and the skis also seem to be more responsive to one's movements.
Longer radius skis have a higher take off speed. I can carve on either, but when I was experimenting with it on 15-16m radius skis in 2003 in Snowbird/Alta, it was like driving around Nürburgring in a van with an AMG engine, it's possible but it's not pretty.
A WC SL will carve for sure, and the narrow waist and stiff tail makes them edge-to-edge quickly - that's a real positive that I think the Marauders miss out on - a narrower waist. Need some sort of hybrid.
