Carving a twintip

Posted: 02 March 2011 01:04 PM

I find it a bit diffrent to carve my Rossi One Mag than my old standard chamber board. The stance I am using is +21/+6 or +21/-6 from time to time.

When I carve in the +6 mode I find that the board as some tail release at the exit of the turn. I try to counteract this by rotating my back leg out a bit rather than rotating hip and knee on the back legs towards the centre of the board.

The counteraction works so so.

I think I feel this a bit less in the -6 mode.

So. Don´t say that I should ride -6 all the time. Just thinking about if someone else have had the same experience. Is it that a mild duckstance is good on this directional twins even in carv / freeride situation?
