Carving technics?

[Polaris_shift]

How do you carve? Do you sit or stand on one side?
Personaly i sit down. Think i have more control and it's easier to trow the sled around. And it's really funny to have one hand in the snow while you carve But when i sidehill i stand on one side.
How do you guys do it?

The lack of snow is killing me... I try to be a smartass, but it gets misconstrued for something else...when will I ever win? haha

And your countersteering pendulum hasn't even fully developed.
Maybe you have too many stickers on one side of the ol' ZX?

You are certain to be a legend.

When you say "Throw the sled around or trow the sled around" you are already on the wrong track. Learn to countersteer and sitting or standing is all the same. You should only have to shift your weight and countersteer.
