Hi!

I know a _lot_ of Austrian hardbootriders. Allmost all locals of the village I teached drove alpineboards. But, actually, a lot of people go back to skiing...

I'd say Kaprun, Solden, Kaunertal are perfect hardboot-area's...

Bye,

Jasper

hi all! Thanks for the help. I guess a mountainbiking-trip to Belgium is what flared it all. I never actually had any problems during my stay in Austria. I did warm up very well very morning (with my pupils), that was a good thing. I don't do jogging (hate it), but a lot of swimming. But as said, I'...

Hi! I've been riding the complete last winter and it was great. I mountainbiked a lot this summer and then hell broke lose. I had terrible knee aches. Couldn't wlk properly etc. I got x-rays and the verdict was the space between the two bones was too narrow. Arthrose... My 'housedoctor' told me not ...

Are you trying to get me jealous?
Well, you succeeded...

I'm having my first day in the office...

Hey there!

Yesterday I met two friends who have been snowboarding die-hards for a long time (one rides european boardercross) and I told them about extremecarving.com.
They were thrilled about the movies and even more when I told them about the meeting. So, plus 3...

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Very helpfull... My fellow-snowboardinstructor always had wounded arms after a day of carving. He thought that was cool, I thought ´that must hurt as hell´... :wink: Although snowboarding is a lot safer than a lot of people think (esp. alpine snowboarding!), this...

Hi!

I´ve been studying the EC movies and instructions carefully this summer, as some of you might have noticed...
I noticed the hands are producing quite a lot of spray and I wonder if you actually ´lean´ on you hand(s). I suppose not, but somehow I´m not sure...

Hey!

Just wanna stick a huge feather up your bum (a Dutch expression)...
GREAT MOVIE! I really liked the shots where you´re carving into the picture so to say (is this english? )...
A very worthwhile 2 hour download....

what, really? That really is too bad. I was told once by a friend of mine who owns a snowboardshop that there´s not much money being made with selling snowboards. Clothing does have a huge margin though. So I guess that´s why these brands leave the market. Just selling snowboards isn´t enough. I sti...

About 10 years ago I started out with a Mistral Escape 63 with Emery bindings (the ones you have to especially drill holes for). Broke a few screws and then the inserts went. Dangerous times... 8) then it was time for a Burton E63 (I think) with Burton Performance plates and Raichle 325 (if I recall...

Well, I was in Grossarl, Austria the whole last winter and I must say that I gues 90 percent of the locals rode alpine. And they rode it HARD! The pupils were all riding softboots but I had some that switched to alpine because they were highly impressed by their teachers´ riding... :roll: :wink: I c...

hey all! Wow, this was an extremely usefull thread. Richard, I have the same style as you have, almost identical... Funny! A racing trainer at the school I got my instructor diploma told me this is the slalom style. So the way to get around the gates ASAP. We should compete once... :D Can´t wait to ...

hey Nils! Wow, no reason at all to be unmodest! Superb frontside. Could you get up and ride on or was this just one lay-down? I know from my teaching that arm-movement is very very bad. (BTW: especially boys suffer this. girls take on snowboarding quicker, I learned to my surprise, when they aren´t ...

Hi!

So you´re actually going to sell your boards? Where can I find more details?

Thanks!
Jasper

thanks for the comments both of you!! I can see the counterrotation I´m making in the upper pic. What should I think to avoid this? I can think of a few things (right shoulder into the snow, turning your face into the center of the curve-which works wonderfully with pupils!, or laying the other hand...
