I really love watching people carve on their snowboard. However most of the extreme carving was done using alpine boards and hardboots. These Japanese are sick though. Here are two videos that I find has the best quality.

That is rad!
I never thought I’d enjoy a video of people just turning, but that is absolutely awsome. Damn the Japanese can make anything cool!
Right, that has set a precedent. Over the next season, we’ll put up a prize for the best carving video posted. I don’t have a clue what prize yet… but I’m on the case. Extreme soft coot carving video comp on Snowboard-Review coming soon.

A pretty cheesy edit and the soundtrack isn’t my cup of tea, but damn there is some good carving in there!
Proper chin scrapers!
I love the way the Japenese have got a scene for every type of riding… and they alway look so damn stylish.
Have you seen the Japenese flat land trick (buttering basically) movies?

Yes I have and I can say that they are super sicckkk. I think the Japanese has got it down for carve and flatland tricks and American/Europeans. is doing more crazy shit on backcountry jumps, big mountain lines, and urban rails.
