Stop Skidding Your Turns (Learn To Carve)

Stop Skidding Your Turns (Learn To Carve)

Are you carving… or just skidding your turns?

In this live coaching session, Nev breaks down the key differences between sliding turns and carving, and shows you how to start riding on a clean edge.

We cover:

• The difference between sliding and carving turns
• Why carving is faster and smoother
• How to practice edging on flat terrain
• The role of balance vs upper body movement
• How angulation increases edge control

Most riders rely on sliding turns to control speed, but learning to carve will unlock smoother, faster and more controlled riding.

Start on mellow terrain, focus on holding your edge, and build from there.
