Almost no carving for two years due to covid. :( Back on the slope, I felt like a beginner. 8O It took some time to get used to carving again. This is a short film I made last weekend together with a friend on a small hill in the middle of Germany, far away from the mountains. In case you've got not...

Das is aber auf mittelsteilen Pisten wenn ma ned flachliegt unmöglich.

Man kann aber auch auf sehr flachen Pisten flachliegen... aber zugegebenermaßen werden die Turns dann eher kurz.
Ich muss demnächst mal wieder ein entsprechendes Video zur Volksbelustigung posten.

Hallo Paco, deine Situation erinnert mich an meinen eigenen Werdegang! Ich bin auch auf Hardboots umgestiegen, weil ich Opus 4 gesehen hatte, und ich mit Softboots nicht so richtig tief runterkam. Hab erst Jahre später gelernt, dass es vor allem an meiner Fahrtechnik lag. Ich hab mir damals auch ers...

Richtig erkannt, Jörg! Lars und Petr sind zwar vom Beruf her nicht "Arzt oder Apotheker", aber mit EC kennen die beiden sich auf jeden Fall aus!

Obviously, there is no limit to stupidity.
Another sad example of what social media can do to people.

Hi Charlie, here is some advice: Step 1: Find out what kind of style you prefer. Watch videos with different riding styles. Step 2: Have a look at the board width of the people in the videos you like: narrow or wide? Wide boards are better for EC style. Narrow boards are better for quick turns. Of c...

It'a bit late for another comment, but: I hope you recognized the irony in Joemzl's answer. :wink: Some years ago I was in the same situation as you, Cithomp. Then I discovered how much better the new boards are. Much better grip (better torsional stiffness), and easier to ride at the same time. My ...

Je pensais que tous les propriétaires d'une SWOARD ont la "license to kill - euh - carve"...

Jörg, you're completely insane!

I'll show your video with the sleigh to my wife - to prove how normal I am, compared to you!

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

You're lucky, Dalibor. No rides for me at all this season.
Hope to see you all in Hintertux next December!
Christian

Thank you, Joemzl and Huuska!
Hope to see you on the slope soon!
Christian

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. This is related to the fact that t...
