2. Free-carve
This is similar to the skiing, the only difference is that you have to take certain steps while performing any task, in this curves are preset and the track is clear. You are not allowed to take many jumps and you have to control the drift since this is all about drift. Whoever controls the drift very professionally he is sure to win the sport.
