ExtremeCarving FORUM

I have a 10 yrs old pair of Salomon Malamute. Even though they are quite stiff, they were not designed to ride with high angles. Above 25 degrees and I would start feeling painful pressure points that makes carving less than ideal. That is my personal experience on a 10 yrs old pair so please take i...

The "problem" that I have is that when it go the slopes, I usually go with my family. Most of slopes I am going to have a bus shuttle service to go to/from the car so it is a real pain to go back and forth to the car to swap carving gear. So I bring my ski blades to ski with the kids and also my Swo...

Just curious what people use out there for locking their dear Swoard? Just run a locked cable through the bindings hoping that someone will not unscrew the bindings? I never had my board stolen but it is nice to know that you can leave it out there without constantly keeping an eye on it. Thanks bef...

The Swoard logo is clearly visible.
Great job at cleaning up the snow on the board before the photo shoot.
=)

I cannot believe you guys are already carving!!
I am still at the tail end of windsurfing season.

Nice carving pix!

Leucistic, As mentioned by other, the Dual is a great board for your needs. I own the Dual and can attest the board can do what you are looking for: riding powder and carving. I have tried the Dual in harboot (carving) and softboot (powder) and the board will meet your needs very well. In deeper pow...

En ce qui concerne les conseils entre la S et M + bottes + ressorts etc.... je prefere laisser les autres repondre....ce n'est pas trop mon fort. Bon ok, je vais essayer un peu avec le conseil de planche. Tu fais 180cm pour 65kg. Je dirais que t'es plutot du cote maigre pour ta taille (je fais 165cm...

oui je connais Shark. C'est la ou j'ai achete mes premiers matos de bottes durs: c'etait en 1998 pendant la fameuse tempete de glace. La boite ou je travaillais etait fermee. Je glandais completement pendant cette semaine de tempete et donc je suis alle chez Shark pour acheter du matos alpin. A l'ep...

Salut mon chum, j'espere que tu vas pas pire pan toute.... 8) J'ai commene les bottes durs au Quebec et plus precisement a Avila. La Swoard est souple et marche bien pour les conditons glacees que t'as au Quebec. Avila est tres bien pour commencer le push pull avec quelques EC en debut de pente ou c...

Work has been quite stressful for me as well so I will keep it short 1) Double check you do not boot out on both front/back side or else... 8O 2) When you first learn, it is ok to over rotate and remember, rotation start from the waist up and not necessarily just the shoulders 3) You do angulate fir...

is really stylish but what were you guys doing (or thinking )?

I finally got to ride the Dual so here is my first impressions report. Short report Great mix of all-mountain/freestyle board with EC in mind. Longer Report Weather conditions were groomed snow + 3cm of fresh snow on top. Well, even though I had the Dual with me, I could not help myself to go out fi...

Bah, j'habite pres de San Francisco, j'ai trouve ton film tres excitant!!

Meme commentaire que Fanfoue: tes jambes sont droites et avec ca, le push-pull n'est pas present et le dynamisme disprarait. Regarde a quel point les maitres ont les deux jambes archi-pliees avant d'engager la courbe. De plus, leurs bustes restent droits car les suisses sont des gens tres fiers. :lo...

Si tu vas avec qq, essaye de prendre un film de ton front side.

Avec les fesses en l'air ca ferait un beau film erotique...

Mieux, le forum va pouvoir pointer precisement la source du probleme.
