Last year I've met a German guy in Livigno, we caught site of each other since we were the only two carvers.

He had a Choc Race (a black one), he said it was fine. Seeing him carving I can believe that, he was rather good (nice frontsides, a bit sitting backsides, but two palms on the snow, nice and smooth linked turnes)

So at least the boad is usable for EC.

Kindest,

István

No experiences though, but I know that this store are selling them for years. And these are very kind and helpful people. So may be you can phone or email them if you want something to know.

I had Choc Race B 175, a blue one(year 1999) and I rode it for 3 seasons. I had no problem with quality and I think that the board is pretty durable - though I bought it really cheap directly at factory (15km far from my home

) like a faulty one...

At this time I had no idea about EC, so I dont know if it is suitable - this type is narrow - 18 cm and the flex is pretty hard, at least for my 70 kilos...
But if you ride it fast and hard you get great egde grip and board is really stable

I hope I have helped you little bit.

I've already invested into an other brand, but still curious about Choc. Do you know if there are test days somewhere for Choc?

Kindest,

They don't like czech market at all so they sell it to Austria by another brand name.

I asked them for test days last summer and they told me, that for czech republic is not planed anythink.

I don't know how is it in your country...

Maybe I do not get it well: Choc does not like the Czech market so they sell abroad, or Austria does not like Czech sport goods, so Choc must sell under a different name.

Well, we all remember the old days behind the iron curtain. Every country had some special product group in which the country was specialized - and lets face it, most of the products were of very poor quality.

Everyone from the former communist block remembers Hungarian salami, Czechoslovakian sport goods (hiking, skiing, etc.), Russian small machines (all of them packed in an ugly type of paper covered with grease...) Yugoslavian sportwear, Polish clothing and shoes, DDR fishing rod and Rambo type of knives. Leave alone cars.... (Lada, Wartburg, Polonez, Skoda, Zaporosec, Trabant, etc.)

What I want to point out is that most of those products were ridiculous, but Czechoslovakian sportware was OK - so I do not see a reason for being shy about Czech spoting products.

Kindest,

István
