Bawbawbel, I have a feeling that some might think they are seeing partially skidded turns on the videos because of the volume of spray coming from their boards. Check out Jacques post entitled “Best snow conditions” where he writes: “The snow sprays that appears in extreme carving are caused by the ...

Dear Jacques and Patrice,

I’m curious as to what stance angles, width and lean you guys ride on your freeride boards.

Dear Jacques and Patrice, I really found the info on Swiss vs. French technique on the CERN Ski club page very helpful (it especially compliments your discussion on counter-rotations) and would love to get my hands on the SSBS Book and CD. Is the SSBS book available in French (or better yet English)...

Dear Jacques or Patrice.

thanks for your reply,

Dear Extreme Carving Crew, Thanks for an outstanding website!! The information, videos and photos are spectacular! Your style of extreme carving is pure visual magic! I crossed over to snowboarding from skiing two seasons ago primarily because of the laid out powder turns sometimes featured in snowb...

Has anyone had a chance to check out the new Raichle AF 700 boots? They seem to have gone to some kind of spring system to control forward lean but I haven’t been able to get enough info to know exactly how it works. I’m wondering if they’ve finally caught on to what Northwave discovered years ago. ...

Jacques, Just a minor correction to your calculations on Rob's stance: - 19.5 inche (=53.5 cm I think) stance width seems to me a little bit too much. Changing this parameter very few can make huge feeling defferences. 19.5" x 2.54 (conversion factor inches to cm's)= 49.53 cm which is very similar t...

Jacques,

I’d also like to add my name to the Canadian contingent interested in one of your boards - providing it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg

By the looks of things you guys are on to something with your specs.
