Check the vids here https://www.extremecarving.com/tech/tech.html Yes it's 2002 / 15 years old, but it's exactly the same thing that helped Jacques and Patrice spread the technique Velvet is using (remember the Russians learned from first Opus videos, from Web pages https://www.extremecarving.com an...

Hola Rotation, rotation, rotation.... 1. training non EC with arms crossed, or glued to your sides > you need to train your body not to use the arms..the rotation will start from the shoulders, and it will pull the rest of the body into turning providing you are "locked" at the hips ( tight ) 2. aft...

Je ride aussi la Dual en HB, ça m'évite d'avoir 3 paires de chaussures et des coques surtout > ca prends de la place ( les .900 sont si comfortables que je les ride sur la pro, sur la dual et sur mes swallows, pour la rando je switch en Dynafit de rando) Je trouve que la Dual se ride pas mal en HB, ...

Attention > la Gen1 ( fabrication usine Duret) n'a pas de talon caoutchouc mais un ABS ( ne pas taper la board au sol). Le topsheet est vernis en usine et donc semi brillant un peu rayable. Le talon caoutchouc est apparu avec la production en Allemagne ( Gen2) ( c'est en fait de l'uréthane), le top ...

Il y a plein de raisons...citées dans le lien publié par Arnaud mais les principales - La chute de l’asymétrique est venue principalement du fait que c'était ingérable au niveau des ventes et que les revendeurs en ont eu marre d'avoir des goofy en stock ou vice versa... - La deuxième raison est que ...

Its all a matter of taste, there is no rule fine tuning a board with more agressive angles takes longer and is not easy if you have many boards and skis to prepare. I ride my EC boards with 89° total and -1° on base, and the dual with same setting because my tools are all set for the same, but my po...

Check the forum ( search function) for many detailed answered

Normal edge tuning: 90°

Better: -1° base and total 90°

even better: -1° and total 89° using tooltonic technique ( check the videos online from tooltonic.ch on youtube)

Hello EC fans.... I have finally decided to sell my spare brand new .900 in 285 mondo because I am getting a backcountry oriented these days, and my existing .900 will be able to last for at least 10 more years... I have put a ebay auction here http://www.ebay.fr/itm/-/112234925251? Yes: price will ...

Am working on an improved tail assembly part for my Phénix split 4 swallowtail board, and need to find someone that could help me machining aluminium for a prototype...at minimum cost of course :) If any of you has access and small time to process the cad file and send it back to me would be very gr...

Faut surtout que tu passes chez Krakatoa et que tu essayes une Swoard! Y'a quelques locaux qui tournent à Serre-Che avec des swoards (si tu es dans le nord du 05 of course)... dont Laurent M.

Great article! After the creation of Swoard in 2002, I contacted the factory, following different people names and phone they gave me, until I talked to a production guy that told me they sold the molds for aluminium recycling because it took up too much space mostly and someone in an office decided...

Interesting topic indeed, As Rob says: I prefer to rely on springs that I can adapt, modify to set the motion I want, rather to rely on plastic deformation which is too much related to outside temperature change.. What works perfectly on a -5°C will become a very stiff boot at -15/-20 and before I s...

Salut les bidouilleurs... Ne pas oublier que l'EPDM se soude a chaud...Ca serait une solution interessante pour résoudre la question de la couture compliquée à étancher..un systeme cousu/soudé serait a tester. Les EPDM soudables sont par exemples fabriqués par Sopréma pour les étanchéité de toitures...
