Well, this is my favorite subject and sport. What is Freeride snowboarding, what is freeriding itself. Many people think that if I'm not freestyling, I'm freeriding. Not quite. And anyway, the 2 are not completely mutually exclusive, since a serious freeriding can be filled with beautiful freestyle elements.
So there is CARVING. This means slaloming, we pack the snowboard neatly from edge to edge, on the treated track surface.
WHEN we are able to do this stably in the abandoned landscape, even in the god-given snow (BACKCOUNTRY), that is FREERIDE!
And the word FREESTYLE means artist-like, tricky, jumping, forward and backward playful snowboarding. If someone cultivates this not only on an artificial track and as an element, but the landscape itself becomes the playground, the high school of snowboarding itself is the pinnacle. This is very complex knowledge.
Of course, this is for few. Many people freestyle solidly without a park on the track and on the side of the track. (flatland style, I go the other way around, Nose and tailpress tricks - nose in Hungarian, sliding on the farm, etc.).
And most of them freeride in such a way that they don't stray far from the edge of the course, towards its "backcountry", the truly wild countryside. They are afraid that they will get lost, that they have to fumble a lot in the deep snow, that there could be anything under the snow, or simply that they don't have the technique. The snowboard shop, the "FREERIDE" column, is for them, we want to help them for free, but that's a different matter now.
So, anyone who wants to slalom in style, at a fast pace, is CARVING.
