 |
|
hello everybody!
I'm sure some of you have heard of skwal, and that few have riden one before.
If you dont know what skwal is, here is a short explaination...
Skwal, is a sort of mix between Ski, Monoboard, snowboard ans as it's been said, waterski.
The inventor was a ski and snowboard instructor and he came to invent "skwal" realizing that it would allow both skiers and snowboarder to get carving skill.
Skwal is a true carving machine. The facing forward position deletes the frontside and backside turn that you have in snowboard, and everything gets more symmetrical.
SkwalZone.org is a Skwal-dedicated website, and in order to celebrate its first year, we are offering you the opportunitie to watch a movie, that use to be sold few year ago.
SkwalMasutra (evocating name  ) is a 30minutes movie and shows many different ride sessions from the Alps to New Zealand... This is the skwaler's holy book!!
Carving, freeride and contest, everything! Moreover, at the end of the movie you'll find a step by step learning program.
We would like to thank Thias Balmain for allowing us to show this movie online.
We encourage you to show it around on skwalzone, but regarding to copyrights, any other kind of broadcasting and sharing is prohibited.
Enjoy !
You can download Skwalmasutra on this page.
by clicking this link: "71Mo format wmv" you'll get the best quality version 71Mb, and this one "19Mo format wmv" the lightest one 19Mb.
feel free to ask more question here, or on skwalzone.org own forum.

PS: I know the turns arent as laid as extremecarving ones... skwal is just different...

Very cool. Good lord - what is that: a 15 cm stance width? Crazy. As well as skwalling through the bordercross course and the front flips - I didn't know you could do that on a skwal.

angles are around 90°...

Yeah, I have a friend out here that rides a Skwal occasionally. The Volkl one, I think. I could have sworn he's got a boot-width worth of space between his two boots, but I could be wrong.
The fact that he takes the front foot off to get on and off the lift scares me :)
