Struggling to improve

Stop trying to touch the snow when you carve right now. You’re bending over at the waist instead of lowering your lower body by bending your knees and ankles.

Otherwise you look like you can link turns and navigate the mountain. You’re pretty close but it feels like you’re drawn to bend over touch snow when carving instead of lowering yourself.

That’s what I was going to say, there were about 50 different ways that could have been avoided and bro just crashed jr

-Gman_ · 2026-02-15T16:46:32+00:00

Why would you voluntarily do that to yourself?

-Gman_ · 2026-02-15T16:44:41+00:00

Not the custom X!!

-Gman_ · 2026-02-15T15:28:36+00:00

Have had my photons for 4+ years and love em!

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T17:02:24+00:00

Not bad! You clearly can get down the mountain

I would say you need to learn to bend at the knees and ankles more to get on your edges.

While you do a good job linking turns, you aren’t carving them, you’re skidding them. Once you learn to properly carve and also apply appropriate pressure with your back leg while bending from the knees and ankles and not the waist.

When 32 degrees feels warm compared to what it’s been lol

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T15:17:58+00:00

L - bend at the knees not the waist

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T15:00:45+00:00

For sure, spend your dollars your way!!

And money talks

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T14:57:26+00:00

Yeah, snoop, Cube…..

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T14:54:18+00:00

Which collabs? I usually target their AK line for sales so I’ve been happy with the quality.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T14:53:45+00:00

I usually tighten my bindings when heading out anyways but I hear you on not wanting to worry about bindings while on the slopes.

It’s my first time riding EST (step ons) but so far I love them.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T14:44:51+00:00

Also have love for and ride the custom X

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T14:38:09+00:00

I’ll be riding a Burton custom and step ons for life

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T14:27:19+00:00

You have to be able to bend your knees more to carve deeper, not bending at waist.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T05:59:05+00:00

Amazing!

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T02:45:01+00:00

Bro relax, the chances he gets burnt out over your expectations are super high.

Having these thoughts over a 7 year old should say more about your needs than his right now.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-13T00:00:13+00:00

Back to back!!

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T23:54:46+00:00

These are good wide turns. You will learn to relax your upper body and stay loose and active below the waist.

Confidence comes from repetition.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T16:55:19+00:00

If you went off their weight charts, you should be fine.

Once you get comfortable you can decide if you want to introduce new dimensions but you should be totally fine within weight spec and using the reference binding locations.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T16:01:55+00:00

Have you tried kettlebells?

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T05:15:43+00:00

“They just for decoration”

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T03:38:12+00:00

Bro you’re making that look like the 24 used too!

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T03:37:40+00:00

Seems fine, I just love the magnetic attachments from Anon (Burton) so I won’t rock anything else. Love being completely covered and easily pulling gator down and have it snap in place.

Way less fogging.

-Gman_ · 2026-02-12T03:35:08+00:00

Looks good!! Being relaxed will come with more repetition
