Carve one way, spin the other.

So today I was playing around with carving in one way, then spinning the other direction, so I was drifting right in the air, but spinning left. I got the idea from a snowboarder spinning frontside off his toes. Anyhow, what do people call this?

I don't think it has any particular name, just carving and it does feel nice to do a floaty 180 like that.

It definitely adds some style to nice slow spins like 1,3 and 5. Because you 'travel' right or left across the deck.....it just looks nice.

Check "whats hood?" on vimeo. Hornbeck is doing a rodeo 5 like that at 2nd or 3rd shot

I call it an "opposite carve" spin. It's fun eh?

in pipe, in would be alley oop. thats the closest thing i can think of as a real name for it but i dont think it actually applies to regular jumps.

Yup. Dumont does it all the time. And it does help with a misty/bio set.

Hornbeck really does it well on that 3 in "Whats Hood". He calls it alley oop as well, seems appropriate.

But that would be the natural way of carving for a rodeo or what? Seems unnatural to carve right and do a rodeo to me

apparently thats the proper technique for spinning frontside on a board. Carve in on toes>spin frontside without rolling onto your heels. Heels are inefficient and have no pop. Crazy. seems weird but makes sense.
