Yes, It's not EC that I linked.
Please, view his another movie below.

Alexey, great sequence, great rider!

Isn't it possible to host it on this site?

Kindest,

István

Круто, Алексей!
(Hopefully these characters get correctly through net

)
Nice show of different techniques (though I couldn't watch Choc's video properly, as I have old computer and Windows media player started to choke on Choc video, pun intended

) In some cases it seems that your hands position is not as relaxed as it is with Swiss masters, but overall very nice style (at least much better than mine)

Additionally seems that Volen's slopes are not best for EC (it's steepest slope has 60 meter drop for 400 meters length according to web site), as you seem to lost quite much of speed during turns. So I really suggest, that you should participate in EC session in Zinal, if you have possibility!
Very good and informative web site also, I really liked it!

It's great to see the learning progression. Not that it's not fun to see a perfect EC but to see the progression from total newbie to the real thing seems very important as well. If there is anyone else out there with videos while learning it would be great to see. Thanks for the video!

Alexey i'm interesting of following issue:
Do you use bomber style on Choc board because of EC style can't be accomodated on such narrow race board ?

BTW it is nice to see someone riding both styles ....

Post by **Alexey** » Wednesday 19 October 2005, 11:01

Choc making narrow boards. It is not situable for proper EC.

Alexey, I'm afraid I made you inconvenient.

Woud you let me know your binding setting (angle, lift or side cant)? Many people recommend flat binding setting for EC but I have very short time to train EC because there are so many people on piste in my country.

I wanna enjoy both EC and general carving, so I think it is difficult to set the binding to flat for only EC.

or is there any success EC carver with not-flat binding setting?

Post by **Alexey** » Sunday 23 October 2005, 16:42

to betacarver: No any inconvenient.
I have other settings for other boards.
EC settings: Front: catek os 55, rear catek si 48 with bit heel lifting.
Narrow board: Front catek os 66, rear catek si 60 with high heel lifting. Both bindings have mid lifting under board.
I never did't try flat settings becouse I have discomfort for flexion rear leg is set up rear binding in flat position.

Thanks, but you mean you didn't set any toe lifting on front feet?
