Re: Little help understanding spring and Td3

EC: carving with maximum angle, trying to lie down on the snow. It is by far not only a question of body inclination, but a complete philosophy (ride technique, board, setup, etc.) which we presented 20 years ago exactly when we created the word "extremecarving" (EC) for the Website with the same n...

Re: 20th anniversary of Extremecarving.com and this Forum!

Re: 20th anniversary of Extremecarving.com and this Forum!

Were you there when the Website opened? If so, you may laugh, or shed a tear, at the melody linked below. ;-) At the time, it was the fashion to place music on the homepages of Websites. But after a few months we took it out. And now it's something you hardly see anymore. So here is the MP3 version ...

Re: 20ème anniversaire de Extremecarving.com et du Forum

Etiez-vous là à l'ouverture du site Web? Si oui, vous allez peut-être rigoler, ou verser une petite larme, à l'écoute de la mélodie en lien ci-dessous. ;-) A l'époque, la mode était de placer de la musique sur les pages d'accueil des sites Web. Mais après quelques mois, nous l'avons retirée. Et main...

@slayer: Nils is architect. That's why he made the graphics of the Extremecarver Gen1 and Gen2. :D Since Extremecarver Gen3, Pro1, Dual1, Stoke and the next generations, Lionel and I made all graphics (Lionel as the artist bringing the ideas, and me for the finalization and technical part).

Re: Question about Russian EC style

You didn't generalize, you are just victim of people who want to make generalizations. The riders at Funcarve have a good spirit and are not playing on patriotism. Did you know that we organized, with another Russian group, a session of the Swoard Demo Tour 2011 in Ezhovaya (Oural, Russia)? See this...

Re: Deeluxe ground control boots

I have been told that this model won't be continued next season.
But it's maybe just a rumour. We will have more info this autumn.
