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?

I thought countersteering was an ADVANCED move?

You know I had the damndest time learning how to carve correctly. Then one day, at the suggestion of more experienced rider I put the right decals on and she laid right over.

I've heard it only works with the proper amount of track stand tuning before you hit the snow.

Counter steering is for smart riders that know how to conserve energy and ride longer.
REAL dumb sledders don't know how to do it.

There, I fixed it for ya, Ollie.

Counter-steering = Ride smarter, not harder.

Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

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

I too was wondering about this? I want to have optimum counter steer skills? Is there an oil that will help with this and add HP?


Good thread Jeff, this is what the place needed, good technical informative discussion!
