Technique
Rotation Timing — Funcarve
GLOSSARY
Funcarve describes the shoulders rotating gradually through each turn and returning toward the basic position at the edge change, warning against abrupt or early twisting.
Context and distinction
It is Funcarve's model; rotation is not presented as the only way to turn.

Rotation Timing: Funcarve
Funcarve's rotation timing moves orientation through the turn and returns toward its basic position at transfer. It is one teaching model, not proof that rotation is the only edge-change mechanism.
Preparation and setting
The school's orientation vocabulary and a controlled basic turn.
Execution / practice sequence
- Begin with its basic orientation.
- Progress the model's rotation through the arc rather than twisting immediately to maximum.
- Observe fore/aft support as orientation changes.
- Return toward the basic position at transition.
- Connect to the next turn with available balance.
How to learn / practise
Use one edge at a time before linking. Compare early versus progressive preparation at low demand with a coach.
Errors and corrections
Abrupt early twisting can create unwanted pivot or nose overload. Adding more rotation to every problem ignores the actual board outcome.
Observable checks
Timing, orientation and support are described as a sequence, not a single pose.

editorial review notes
Warns against abrupt, early or excessive twisting and unintended nose overload. Rotation is not declared the only way to change edges.
