------------------------------

We are very excited to announce here the dates of the "Swoard Demo Tour". :D This "Tour" includes of course the main event "ExtremeCarving Session (ECS)" (9th edition) and four other smaller meetings (in resorts we have "certified for EC"). "Demo" does not only mean that the participants can test Swoard boards, but also that they can watch demonstrations of extremecarving by the Swoard team (the founders and Swoard instructors).
  • 17-18 December 2011: Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy) > more info
  • 14-15 January 2012: Peyragudes (Pyrenees, France) > more info
  • 28-29-30 January 2012: Zinal (Valais, Switzerland) - MAIN EVENT - ECS > more info
  • 17-18 March 2012: La Thuile (Italy) > more info
  • 31 March - 1 April 2012: Courchevel (France) > more info
Free lessons or advices are given to explain the ride technique we have developed from 1995 to 2001. This technique, easily identifiable, is especially adapted to the width and other specificities of the SWOARD Extremecarver Gen4, the snowboard that inspired extremecarving. The words "rotation", "push-pull", "fluidity" and "gesture purity" will be part of your vocabulary. Advices on the settings of bindings and boots are also provided to fully benefit from all the advantages of the SWOARD snowboards.

At least 2-3 Swoard instructors will be present at each event. The Swoard team will be complete with 7 instructors during the main event "ExtremeCarving Session" in Zinal.

The model SWOARD Dual will also be available. Therefore the riders in soft boots are welcome!


Big thanks to all the people who are now also part of the Swoard team: :pray2:
- the Swoard instructors: Arnaud, Alex, Sylvain, Anthony, Julien, Evgeny (= BEN), Rey
- the staff in organization: Arnaud, Alex, Francesco, Alberto, François (= Le Fanfoué), Sébastien
- the staff in backstage: Tali, Hugo, Salomeya, Jörg and the Forum moderators
- the numerous volunteers helping us in the stands (they will be listed after the events).
Without your help and passion, those events would not be possible. We believe that this is contributing to make alpine snowboarding more visible in Europe and in the world, what is good for the future of our sport.

Patrice Fivat and Jacques Rilliet

The "Swoard Demo Tour 2012" is now over!

The first event in December (Cortina, Italy) has been "almost" cancelled because of the lack of snow. But then with the 4 other events, more than 330 persons in total have participated in the Tour! Yes, alpine snowboarding is alive! :D

Be ready for the "Swoard Demo Tour 2013", as well as for the "10th ExtremeCarving Session" (26-27-28 January 2013, Zinal, Switzerland). We will celebrate this anniversary. Stay tuned! :chinese:

The results of the "Test and Win a DUAL" contest are published in this thread.

Cheers!

The Swoard team
