Heyyo,
Here's a video of me trying to have a nice carvy run:

I've always thought I have a weaker carve but I don't know how to improve it.
As you can see I struggle to hold an edge even when I lean in. Around 1:10 I'm fully committed to that heelside turn but you can see me struggling to keep the board from washing out under me and it's sliding left and right. I don't think I could get any lower without washing out. Maybe I'm distributing pressure incorrectly?
In this video I'm riding a YES Greats from 2013 which is Camrock. It's not supposed to be a washy board, the edges were sharpened with 2 degree bevel at the beginning of the season, and this day wasn't particularly icy in condition - the groomers were perfect. I don't ride rocker boards in general and I can't imagine trying to carve with one LOL. I just don't understand how some people can eurocarve rocker-dominant boards and I can barely hold an edge with this camber-dominant one.
Thanks for any input!
