Thank you, Patrice!
Hope to see you in December!

Hope to see you all in Hintertux next December!

Dear friends, for all those who are prevented from carving due to the pandemic, here is a short fitness workout to stay in shape for the time when we can hit the slopes again. Of course you can use any board - provided it's a SWOARD! :wink: However, the last exercise requires a secret feature of the...

If you are over 40, then you are old

OK, so I was already an old man when I began snowboarding. No problem for me.

@user: It's nice you agree, user. To close this topic, I'd like to quote Patrice's contribution from above: :clap: You got the point, Slayer. :D Our Swoard-EC technique is inspired from surfing (as we write it everywhere since day one), and also from skateboarding.

Also, the plus and minus positions of the shoulders can be clearly seen from above. In times witho...

Here's another video where you can see what I mean:

Wonderful!

...aber irgendwie komm ich jetzt auch nicht tiefer runter, bringt das Federsystem ohne "Schuhschalentuning" nichts? Bin vorher im Walkmodus gefahren, der Bewegungsbereich war gefühlt der selbe!? Der 225 ist sehr weich, der passt für mich mit meinen 60 kg. Spätestens ab 70 kg wird der, glaube ich, z...
