ExtremeCarving FORUM

It's a big country and there are various groups there. The riders from St-Petersburg are different from Moscow and the other towns. So saying "Russian" means nothing (it sounds a bit patriotic actually). And the riders there do not all carve the same way of course. Mainly from 2008 to 2011, groups o...

Sehr schöne Pisten!

As written here : Is this a 1st April fool? :doh: Below the inserts, this is absolutely normal. Something I see for 35 years on almost all snowboards, all brands. Not seeing this is in contrary a bad sign regarding the gluing inside. When screwing the bindings, the inserts pull the base very slightl...

Nowadays the hardboots makers are producing super stiff hardboots (almost no flexibility in the ankles). We are getting messages from many softboots riders who are disgusted by alpine snowboarding after one day trying. Of course there are many things which are different (like the bindings angles, th...

Si le noyau n'a pas été endommagé, ce dont je doute, il est forcément fragilisé. En plus, de l'eau a dû s'introduire. Le noyau peut définitivement lâcher et te gâcher une journée de poudre. Moi je ne riderais plus avec ça. Comme avec une voiture accidentée, même si elle roule toujours. ;-) Patrice F...

You are welcome! 8) Indeed, in some of your turns, you go a bit too much in the line of the slope. Another common mistake is to lay down too late, in the second part of the turn. It must be made earlier. There are other technical details which we can't judge from your video (too small). Anyway, the ...

This is a recurrent question which the students are asking when we teach extremecarving. The reply is: "Close more your turns!". Make turns with the "C" shape, on not the "(" shape as shown in your pictures (what we also name "banana turns"). At the end of each turn, you must have the feeling (or in...

You ride with your surgical mask!? Hmm... one day this will be be a historic film to show to your grandchildren.

Let's ride together one day in Austria or Switzerland and I will explain/show you. Now we enter in the details. And this is a cool part too. 8) Liebe Grüsse! Patrice Fivat

Ja Michael, I got it during the 19th ECS, thank you!
I will also give you mines, after the public release of the Stoke. Activity is very high right now!

Bis bald!

Auf den Swoard Videos sehe ich nur, dass die Jungs sehr lange, weitgezogene Laydowns machen, im Gegensatz zu mir. Viele Extremecarvers möchten den Spass in die Länge ziehen. :lol: Aber du konntest Jacques schon 2003 in diesem Video bei 02:28 sehr kleine Kurven fahren sehen. Alex im Swoard Team mag ...
