Oh, then my IIRC was incorrect :D But I think that they are still not suitable for EC. If they are available really cheaply, then perhaps I'd consider them, otherwise I'd look something more rigid. Soft boots don't support legs enough for forces, experienced during EC: I damaged my legs with my 423 ...

IIRC, it's 5-position forward-flex model with walking mode? I have Raichle 423, which is similar and I had problems with it while riding (not EC yet, but freecarving): in locked mode it was too stiff for me to bend boots for push-pull technique, for cross-over turns (where you stand up between turns...

From other post it could be seen, that he uses F2 RS and SP (Silberpfeil). Both boards are quite stiff and need agressive riding: when I rode my SP then it was quite mandatory to move weight forward in order to make it turn (I use Conshox, which makes it even stiffer). So no wonder, that such board ...

Nils, is this pdf document updated version of last years? It's because :

Reservations have to be quick because we didn ’t book anything in this
hotel.There was available rooms by november 20th.

I used F2 Silberpfeil with Conshox before Swoard. If you consider Silberpfeil or other F2 board, then Conshox is good idea (if you can afford it). I had chance to test Silberpfeil without Conshox as well and Conshox added considerable amount of stability and confidence. About high angles: SP is narr...

It was discussed couple of threads back, look for thread
"90 degrees ... 87 degrees edges ? what are your experiences" (click!)
Nils shares there his experience (edges 88/1)....

Original springed boots are intended for racers and therefore they are so stiff. Racing ain't freecarving and therefore requirements are different: racers have strong legs, e.g. in bomberonline someone said, that Canadian racing team members can hold in sitting position (back against wall) 10 minute...

About board suggestion: in this message board Swoard is must, no. 1, then everything else comes :P More seriously: if you can afford Swoard, then go for it, it is well worth of money. But if your budget is tight, then go for some other freecarving board. Bumps: what kind of bumps you are talking abo...

You know, if you're on a crowded slope, just dont go as fast as you'd like to. It also comes back to the "ambasador" point. Dont let ppl think carvers are crazy and dangerous.... It is opposite, carvers don't go fast, but (mostly) skiers and other snowboarders. When I carve, then I go so slow, that...

Think about that, one carver needs/takes more space that 6 skiers or 20 sitting freestylers If all they start to carve, then there will be 20 sitting carvers and 1 rider ;) But I don't think that there is need for 'Big Bang' in order to popularize carving. Slogan from green community: "Think global...

First my background: snowboarding since 1996, but on hard gear last 2 seasons. Before that I rode 1-2 weeks per season and my riding ability was not anything to talk about, in last 2 seasons I've got 21 and 27 riding days accordingly and this has helped me considerably (along with good learning mate...

In Carving Session @ Aspen I discussed with Jörg Egli (leader of Pureboarding) and he was quite confident that in near future we see more wider carving boards, so I guess that he shares more or less same ideas, as you (after all, he is also from Switzerland:). And #one board which he rides is also w...

Great shots with the Sunset ( or was it dawn?)! Actually it was noon and my inability to take good pictures :oops: . I set white balance according to snow in shadows and this caused this yellow cast on sunlight. I tried to correct pics later, but all the adjustments seemed to make it worse, so I le...

100 days is number, which I've seen in snowboarding forum, don't know how accurate it is or from where it was pulled out (probably by looking to ceil and figuring, that it is nice round number :) And carving sticks are probably more durable, than foam-core/freecarving boards. And they are maintained...
