We did a bit of synchronized carving in Finland. Though to get the turns laid down seems to take a few more runs.. 8)
.. and come to think of it, might seem even more odd than the tandem already does..

Luomu !
Again, you have invented something interesting! :clap3:
Synchronization a'la Finland? :lol: It is really synchronization at 100% - two riders, one trail in the snow ... and this on one board!?

And now, quite seriously: despite appearances - is not easy to do. It takes two good players ...

mirekd: Yes, we were riding a GML tandem snowboard. Quite a curiosity since it's also my shortest board!

But back to the topic.
What to do in the summer without snow and a Swoard?

Well, as we all know, Finland is located SO HIGH UP in the north, we have SNOW and POLAR BEARS running wild around the year.
So of course we go Swoarding across the year. Push-pull you know.

I went through the archives and found a few pictures from last July, shot by our Court photographer mr. Saarelainen, as usual..

Stretching before runs is essential:

It's all about the gear:

Sometimes the training is really tough

All photos (4) visible. Date 10.7.2010 is ok, but 10.7.2011 it's probably a vision of the future!? 8O

Wow, such many-sided summer activities!
Our way to spend summer is trivial: we carve an asphalt. That's why the roads are always bad in Russia!
And... Not Swoard riding but still Swoard wearing:)
