Hi everyone! I wore out my Raichle boots, and now I'm looking for a new pair of boots. As many of you I've encountered a problem of choice. Apart from Raichle there really is nothing to buy, and in my opinion new Raichles are overly expensive if you buy them at regular price. I've found an offer for...

Hi Rancid! It really depends on what you'd like to do. Eliminator is a good board, you can even carve with it, but it is far from alpine carving board and even further from EC still. I would also suggest you don't set harboots on that board, simply because it is the board made for softboots and I do...

Hi Time! Unfortunately I haven't seen Swoard live, but as I can speculate from the specs on EC page, your boot shouldn't touch snow. 55° is a quite high angle and mondo 27 is not big at all. What kind of binding do you use though? Some bindings (e.g. Burton race plates) have such boot size adjustmen...

Hi Bowen! Don't panic. As I see it, the bindings on the linked picture are set incorrectly. They are set for a rider with goofy stance and the board is made for rider with regular stance. On asy board you can only ride if you have the same stance the board is made for, otherwise the result is not at...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask whether you guys make these RAB's alone or you take it from some other boots or you can buy RAB as accessories? :?: I kind of don't want to modify my boots with something that might ruin my boots (clumsy as I am :oops: ), but would sure like get my hands on that sys...

Hi everyone! For the last couple of days I was out on the snow and I experimented a bit with my bindings setting. First of all I need to say that I had to open this new topic because all cant/lift topics have been locked. Anyway, the snow was rather soft, but otherwise quite good for carving, especi...

I'm from Slovenija too, we could buy three, and perhaps J&P could give us discount because of the quantity, what do you say?

I can't wait going back on snow, I have been stuck in my office for far too long. Thank god I', leaving for snowboarding vacation on wednesday!

Hi! saw our video?? I just say: ICY sometimes...... :bravo: Yeah, I saw your video :clap: , but I've noticed that your knees are very flexed throughout the turn. I often ride that way when it's icy. But sometimes jumping from a turn to another allows the edges to penetrate more deeply in the ice. Th...

I broke my wrist in my first hour on the board 14 years ago. It was a nasty injury with plaster and all and the most stupid thing is that it happened on the easiest skilift ever... Never since (knock knock) had I had any serious arm injuries on board, apart from some minor finger twists, where the p...

Hi! By now we have all figured out that best EC is done in perfect snow conditions, on not too crowded slope, possibly in good visibility... :roll: :roll: That means that most of the time (at least on our slopes) those conditions are not met. The biggest problem I find is icy snow, especially when i...

Well, I must say that since I have rather big feet (46) and rather narrow board (Elan Ballistic) my angles have to be well over 60. But I've been riding high angles ever since I've started snowboarding (14 years) and I got quite used to it. It took a bit longer for me to learn how to ride well, but ...

There is another way of protecting the palm part of the glove (I haven't figured out how to attach the stuff on the fingers yet) that I haven't seen mentioned in any topic before. It goes like this: you take an old tube that got penetrated or simply went flat from no obvious reason off the bicycle. ...
