Well mine was in 1991 and I was a poor student:-)

Well my first board was some sort of crazy banana, binding was done by me (broken constantly every second day). There were some radii but I had no clue as how to use them. I was falling back and forth most of the time but finally I managed. I had this board for two long years. At that time I was alm...

Are you bringing someone from Asia?

sounds promising so I hope this time we'll finally hop in car and go! Perhaps with Swissmike or Ferfer. And perhaps we'll bring some good Czech beer too!

Well the truth is that I had the UPS asymetrical but that was no good shoe. I would love to have Megaflex at that time! Then I switched to Raichle for about ten years

Yes I tried the UPS in 2001 and they were like a spanish shoe for me... very bad fit. But a friend of mine is riding them since they were around in the market and he's quite happy though he confirms that the fit is not very good.

Apparently in Czech Republic too... but they start to open even local slopes here in Swiss Jura! And some of them are with night skiing and just 15 minutes drive away!

il y a aussi Labune avec un tas des Hot mais lui c'est plutot la competition. Il m'a envoyé une photo avec un backside superbien couché. Sur Hot 17x je pense. Mais je pense que j'y arriverai même avec ma 159 (rayon 9.5m/19cm)

The makers of Choc (known in Germany as Trans too). Unfortunately this year they're not producing the Race series B 180cm but only 175 and then a 184cm with 18m radius. Anyway very good boards - but probably too stiff for EC.

On l'a mis comme ça que pour un trajet très court, pas de Chine en Europe

Et nous on sera obligés d'acheter les barres de toit + le coffre car avec le bambinot on n'arrive pas à abaisser les sièges arrières et si le ski de ma femme passe dans le coffre (Octavia Break) ma planche longue non. Une solution à la con: enlever les fixs et mettre la planche le long des portes. C...

Il y a ... oui je pense, en automne ils font aussi une solde. Va sur leur site pour le télépone pour se renseigner, c'est le plus simple. D'ailleurs n'ayant pas eu acheté F2 pour un très bon prix j'irai un jour voir chez eux aussi. Pour essayer Nidecker un jour finalement.

Yeah, Beamer was a reference! I've never had one though. Being student at that time we rode local brand boards - that do not exist anymore.

Try to have a look at Raichle ski shoes site... This is a ski shoe, I remember Raichle were producing a modification of snowboard Track 325 shoes for skiers a few years ago. Stiffness should be lower than that of both Indy and Suzuka.

Il y l'usine de Nidecker à Rolle, pas loin de Genève et Lausanne. Ouvert jusqu'à 17h, fermé à midi et samedi.
