Counter steer for carving or not?

[Jeff C]

I have heard that it is a good idea to countersteer when carving.

Is this the best way to do it or is it just a beginner move?


Thoughts?

Counter steering helps a ton when you carving. The only time I don't counter steer is when the snow is super deep then, I don't have to use it as much, but i would recommend do it.

Counter steering is not only for beginners.IMHO

LMAO. I think OT is the expert here.

I have tried it, I mostly fell off my sled. I don't think it's a good idea.

Why try to muscle the sled over when you can just counter-steer.
Save your strength for getting unstuck.

Counter steering is for wimps that don't know how to ride.
REAL sledders don't need it.

Does the oil you run help or hinder the counter steer?

go to about 5:20 into the video where I am carving around close to the camera, you will see every countersteer input to get the sled to tip over and then steering normal once up on one ski, it works! It makes riding on hardpack even easy and kinda fun!

Chaincase or Injection?

Chaincase or Injection?

Pretty sure it's scratcher fluid the causes the issues.

Only if your chaincase is ported..

 

[BossRev]

Does any one know who sells the best priced counter steering fluid?

I need to stock up.

My chain case is ported and my carbon fiber piston return spring is ready to be installed. Also I updated my muffler bearing over the summer.
