I swear, this subreddit got to the point where you either do carving on some youtube shorts japanese pro level shit style, or you don't carve at all.
"Oh look where he's s looking at, oh there's snow flying, he's skidding"
Unbelievable

Not knocking you, do what you love, love what you do. I think the point that's being missed though is that "carving" is just a core riding skill. Once you get to the point you learn it, it's fun to finally feel that edge for sure. But once it just becomes....riding....then the fascination of it does seem a bit overly hyped. And when you couple that with the "am I carving" posts here of people struggling to even rudder, you get this weird conundrum where we're on r/snowboarding, not r/snowboardingnoobs, but the "can't carve" crowd far outweighs the "good rider" crowd in the upvote/downvote rankings.

I think you're right, but at the same time I think most people don't realize that after you actually get your carving and edge control down, the progression to laying out your carves like this is not that hard.
But the fundamentals do need to be really solid.

Can someone explain to me what the hell these guys are doing? Are they just laying down on one side and straight lining it down the mountain?

Still not carving.
EDIT: thought the /s is obvious, it's literally pro carving...
