Wow...
Wow... wonderful!
I can't wait for winter... what a wonderful snow! Not so powder, not so icy: the best you can find to extremecarve, I think!
Just a question: I see that the board is not stuck to the snow in every cm and the carve is not very thin; how can you mantain such an inclination and direction without having a strong edge grip?! When my edge loose the grip even for a thousanth of second, I go straight ahead outside the slope!!!...
Great video and great sensations in me while watching it!... Can't wait for snow to coooooooooooooooooooooooooome!!!

Hi Richard,
At the begining of the season, the snow was good, but there was stones, sothat we had to be very careful and could not ride at our maximum.
When finally we had enough snow, there was an icy ground.
This is very rare with ours. We have to make a big mistake to loose the edge control (in example, being totaly unbalanced, or bite with the edge the powder snow on the side of the piste).
Most of the time, when the edge has a problem, it is very easy to make it grip again. We just put the edge on the snow or ice, and it does the job by itself. But perhaps our technique helps a little bit...

Unfortunatly not... It was the worst snow since years!what a wonderful snow! Not so powder, not so icy: the best you can find to extremecarve, I think!

When the slope is icy and not flat, the edge cannot be "stuck to the snow in every cm". The carve track is not very thin in EC because the boots are touching the snow, adding their own track to the edge one.I see that the board is not stuck to the snow in every cm and the carve is not very thin
It's probably your board...When my edge loose the grip even for a thousanth of second, I go straight ahead outside the slope!!!...
