La prossima volta vedrete del carving più estremo con la flexboardz.

Hi raphael this seems to be a good tool to learn rotation and push&pull ...I'm very interested
about this board, but there's not many (traffics free) steep streets next to me

It is indeed very good to learn and train rotation and push-pull. Best tool for that.

After all that's what it was invented for: train leg muscles for wave surfing.

Of course it is more fun on steeps, but practicing on flats is really the best for training.

Example of pumping on flats:

Traffic on the other hand can be a problem.

Really it's not a problem to learn

I tried Flexboardz last week with Raph' in Paris...(not in the Trocadéro

)

I'm fell in love with this board/technology (& 'cause you can use WindFlex on it) but unfortunately out of order until autumn (thx Chinese production)

Wo, wo, wo... this is not to be shown. My carving is not good yet.

Don't spoil everything.

Plus, a wipeout certainly isn't good advertising for flexboardz (its my fault actually).
Can you remove it, please David ?

I promise to show better quality images soon.
... And then better carving (i hope).

P.S: Anyway, I wonder what Alex and Silber would do with my secret weapon, they're already on snow all year.
