But since all the old skwal posts are locked, I've decided to create a new one.
Please don't kill me snowboarders...
After a 15-year break from my amateur skwalling days, I got back into the sport seriously in 2021/22. I started by training for an entire summer on the Zermatt/Cervinia glacier, and since 2022, I've been in Andorra, where I work hard on my skwalling nearly all season.
Youtubers skwalers have been my main source of inspiration and my "teachers", and of course all swoard youtube video. I also did a lot of reading on this site about EC techniques and gear, constantly asking myself, "How do they do that?!"
I finally reached a level I'm not ashamed to post here, as a tribute to the skwaler community and, more generally, to EC riders.
I'm ready for the harsh feedback. Lay it on me
Long live EC!

2024, 3 seasons later, my first season laying down, it took a while!
