    Sweet tips and drills. I watched some of your older videos and saw the toe heel drill. I was up the mountains a week ago and I still can't get myself to switch back and forth between the toe and heel so fast. More practice for me.

    Awesome videos Tommie! What really brought my carving to the next level was focusing on the edge change drills by doing down unweighted and up unweighted edge changes. After the down unweighted edge change by gradually standing up building pressure on the edge really helps the edge hold. And vice versa on the up unweighted edge changes.

    I can’t say enough about tommie b’s drills. Every time out I do a few warmup laps and incorporate about a half a dozen of them, both regular and switch. I credit them for me getting my mojo back. I had a number of years with infrequent riding with injuries and fatigue. Bad habits formed. I came very close to giving up snowboarding. Now I’m on pace for 60 days this season. I wanted to run into you up at copper and personally thank you, but it looks like I’ll just have to buy a hoodie instead. Btw…. Those one of a kinds rock. The patterns and color schemes are so steezy. No offense, but your gf had to had some input on that. Luv ya, man!

      @@tommiebennett Tommie could I ask your opinion please on a board for my massive feet (EUR 50). I ride a Palmer timeless 167 which they said would be wide enough, but I boot out on decent carved turns, which rips me a new a*hole .... I'm looking for a really wide waist like 30 or even 31. Come across anything like that? Ideally a bit less stiff than the timeless too to allow more freestyle possibilities. Thanks!

    I have trouble trying to fully extend my body out horizontally on toeside. I can get low enough to touch my knee, and even elbow, but I'm struggling to stay balanced when I attempt to extend all the way out.

      I can't say specifically without watching you ride, but you might have your hips too far back for proper balance

    I am ski and Snowboard instructor, and I do teach all my students to identify the edge on transition from the beginning, without necessarily explaining to them that they are carving, and I find that you overcomplicate things, and in my opinion, you are not using your back hand corectly, therefore, I hope you don't mind my comment, and I wish you the best, we all want to become better snowboarders aren't we?

    • @tommiebennett
      @tommiebennett  Před 2 měsíci

      lol. All good. Funny how you may see a lot of pro riders using the back had as a counter balance. As an instructor myself, I def don’t want to ride like an AASI robot. Have your own personal style is what snowboarding is about but obviously style is subjective

    • @kristiangrau8283
      @kristiangrau8283 Před 2 měsíci

      @@tommiebennett my impression, does not come from necessarily watching pro riders, but more from the fact that snowboarding being an asymmetric sport, I find that the back hand gives you extra control of your muscle on the oblique fascias, therefore it helps you to become much more smooth and controlled with your entire body, cause snowboaring opposed to skiing and especially when carving, as you are mentioning as well, is not relying on rotarional separation or contra rotation!!!
