Snowboarding Question. What is a good technique to use to learn how to carve?

Question

I've been riding for a few years but have not mastered the art of carving yet. It seems that every time i think i'm going to carve, i catch an edge. I've become a master at pulling out of that so i'm not busting my a$$. I just look like an idiot b/c i'm all squirley. Are there any surefire techniques i can use to really get the feel and hang of carving up the mountain? I ride a big board, Timeless 161 and it's a free-ride beast.

Answer 1

since carving has to do with wipping the back of the board around a long board can make it alot harder.  i would suggest trying it with a shorter board if you can... see if that makes it easier for you.
