Ride techniques > The Snow Coach application for smartphones

Available now for the iPhone, and in summer 2013 for Android! :bravo:

Our friends Pierre ("Petit Pierre") and Fred, who often shot movies and pictures for the Swoard Demo Tour, have created with two other mates this great application for the smartphones. On the snow, or on the chairlifts, you can follow exercises and progress by yourself, at your rhythm.

The basic technique is the one taught by Swoard. So this is about rotation! :D
Of course all disciplines are explained: freeride, freestyle (many tricks), freecarve, alpine racing, etc.
In advanced lessons, there will be soon EC lessons with pictures and videos, on the basis of the Swoard-EC technique explained here since 2002 and used now worldwide (France, Italy, Germany, Russia, ...).

We hope that the application will bring new riders to alpine snowboarding, especially the young who are precisely using the smartphones a lot.
And we wish good success to Pierre and Fred! Congratulations for their initiative and the huge work! :clap3:

Very nice ;-) But!

How many of good extremecarvers have used some gadget to improve?

There should an innovative trainig guide with this program. For example you shot yourself and post to facebook and then someone comment on your device ;-)
