Hi Tom,

i bought my springs online at http://www.gutekunst-co.com/.

Just put in the specs (e.g. diameter, length, max. force) of the springs and you´ll be able to choose from many different type of springs.

@Mc Fussel: Holy sh.t, :silenced: i´ll not be able to join you next weekend, but perhaps we can meet somewhere in January. I´ll stay 3 days in Bruneck (Kronplatz) the weekend before X-mas :xmas: , and i´ll take some photos and a video. It´s a really cool place for carving, i like it even more than s...

Naah, that´s not all..... but i´m afraid there are no pictures. :wall: :doh: The slopes were so perfect (especially the steep one at the "Rettenbach"glacier) that nobody wanted to lose time with taking pictures. The first time when i had a look at my watch it was 11.30 am, so there was even no time ...

Hello, the weather seems to be good at the weekend in the alps, so i think i´ll be in sölden at sunday. 8) I was in sölden last sunday, and the slopes are in a quite good condition there. :bravo: Especially the steep one at the "Rettenbacher" glacier, where the ski worldcup (GS) takes place, was in ...

Congratulations Nils,

there is NOTHING to add.................

The first snow has fallen, and i can´t wait to try the SWOARD again

1) Resort Not crowded, like the middle of Canada not crowded, I think it´s hard to find a place in the alps that is not too crowded AND perfect for carving. But i would like to recommend you a place in northern Italy. Check out www.kronplatz.org It´s my favourite resort although i´m from southern g...

Hi Peter, i can´t help you with your questions, BUT don´t waste your money on Raichle X-Bones. They are not stable enough for EC-Carving, even not for normal carving. I used the Carbon ones too, and broke two of them during carving. And it is really no fun, to walk down the perfect groomed slopes in...

Hello, i´m riding the second factory prime now and i´m really satisfied with this board. At the beginning of my boarding i rode a Nidecker Concept. I broke two of them. I used the second one only two or three days. Afterwards i tested a F2 Speedster RS, a Oxygen, and the Factory Prime. And for me th...

Hi lorenzo, i´m just back from boarding and must correct my number of broken X-Bones. Now i broke two of them. And it was always the part, where the Intec-part(heelside) is fixed. This time it happened during "normal" high speed carving. Last time it broke when i was trying to get back on my feet af...

Hi lobella,

i broke the Carbon X-Bone once, and the Carbon-part is just a fake.
So i think, the Carbon is not really stiffer than the "normal" X-Bone.
In fact it is a really soft binding.

And it is quite broad at the heelside, so it is hard to choose flat angles for EC.

But just try it!

Hi roman, in germany you cannot order a Head boot at the moment, so how should they be tested?? Head produced only a little amount of hardboots for this season, and obviously they don´t give a cent on alpine boarders. Just look at their homepage, where you can´t find anything for us. So i bought the...

Hello, today the next store told me that there are no Head boots left for this season. Now i have got a problem. My old UPS is totally worn out, and the deelux boots do not fit to my feet. I have heard about custom foamed liners and therefore i contacted www.strolz.at for information. They only have...

Hi cr, you´re right. I´m trying to get a new Head Stratos Pro for this season. Therefore i´ve been to 5 stores in Munich. Only one store had the boot, but of course not my size. So i tried the next size to mine, and afterwards i orderd the boot at my local store. After a few days i got a recall, tha...

Hi nils, thanks for your reply. the high angles in my setting result not from my boots (UPS MachII, Mondo 280). Due to the fact, that the X-Bone-bindings are very broad at the heelside, i cannot choose flater angles without getting my binding stick out of the board. Well, the broadest board i tested...

Hello, first i want to thank you for this site, the movies are incredible!!! THIS IS THE SITE ALL THE ALPINE BOARDERS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!! My actual snowboard is a factory prime 7.3 with a Raichle Carbon X-Bone Step in. It´s very hard to EC because of my used binding settings (next time i´ll try ...
