What’s the obsession with carving

As a long term noob, am I missing something with all of the “am I carving yet” posts? Is it bad that I don’t care and just want to be able to ride safely and enjoy the outdoors?

EDIT:

Was not expecting my random thought to get so many responses. Thanks for all of your opinions.

I’m not sure if my question sounded judgey but I’m definitely not. If that’s a goal of yours that’s awesome. I’m old so my goals for riding are simple, learning to ride safely (with decent form of course) and enjoy my time outside. I do actually have long term goals but also realistic based on the amount of time I get to ride.

I might have to share a video of my riding and see what people think.

Shred happy people 🤙
