Vallée-Jonction Surf Session | A snowboard carving video
Рет қаралды 111,230
2 жыл бұрынA simple video of a snowboard session filmed during the dry winter of 2020-21, in the little ski resort of Vallée-Jonction, an hour south of Quebec city. 20 seconds of motion, that's all you get from this tiny hill. Just enough to enjoy a couple turns in those huge banks, just like surfing.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks Chris! No problem. I’m 6 foot and 150lbs. I’m riding the Tranny Finder in 157cm.

Hell yeah! You gotta love these small resorts in the province of Quebec. Their way less crowded than the bigger one which is perfect to make some pretty sweet turns. How do you like that Tranny Finder for carving? I've been thinking of getting one but I don't know if I should go for something a little bit more aggressive like the cafe racer to lay deeper trenches
@roulericard 2 жыл бұрын
Salut! Il y a une bonne différence entre les deux boards (je ride les deux). Le Café Racer est pas mal plus dessiné pour carver, il est aussi plus stiff. Si on compare le Tranny Finder aux autres boards sur le marché, il carve super bien! Mais si on le compare au Café Racer, il est beaucoup plus versatile et joueur. Pour moi, le TF est mon board de tous les jours et je peux lui en donner en masse. Le CR est mon board pour les sessions de carving, quand on a le goût d’aller vite! 🤙

Sick Styles. Can you do this with a standard park board? Or is it easier on like a mountain/powder board?
@roulericard 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you. You can do it on a twintips but it's definitely easier on a directional shape, camber profil and a larger board. Just avoid the duck stance and go full positive ;)
@filipvitek204 2 жыл бұрын
You can do it even with duck stance, if you´re used to it. I love doing cab 1 to euro carve. What helps the most is 1) the stiffer board (between bindings) - it avoids a chatter 2) wider board - so that you don´t wash out because of toe or heeldrag in heavy carve Cheers and enjoy shreding!

Amazing video and style. I’m looking at the TF for my next board. How do you find it holds an edge in icy conditions?
@roulericard Жыл бұрын
Thanks Derrick. From my point of view, with a good tunning, the TF is all good for carving in all snow conditions. Here in Eastern Canada, we get not much snow in the winter and regular rain episode, so the snow conditions are pretty damn hardpack all the time. The TF is my everyday board and I'm a turnning guy ;) It's a good choice.

Funny coincidence, I tried the Genesis again yesterday by curiosity, since I am now using the Karakoram Layback. The Genesis are good, comfortable and an « ok » flex on a Korua. But my memory was better than reality. I love more my Laybacks now, the support is widespread and the flex points are surprising, they are super effective on different board. Now, I prefer the Karakoram to the Genesis.
