We feel blessed by the success of Extremecarving.com and the high enthusiasm of a number of you have manifested to our discipline and prototype boards
. But how could we further share our passion to you if you do not have access to the adequate gear & equipment ?We have worked on the extremecarving discipline over the last 12 years and developed our own prototypes because the boards on the market have never been suitable for this riding technique. Due to the complex construction of our custom boards, we thought that mass production was virtually impossible and it never crossed our mind to market them.
Your enthusiasm and feedback led us to look at the problem from scratch, so we worked hard on a manufacturing concept that now combines industrial process with hand made construction. As a result, we are now able to build and market the same replica of our current prototypes: same shape, material, technology, development and ultimately, the same performances ! The only difference is the deck “look” which helps protect our secret technology.
If, like us, you are head over heal for this new sport, and if there is a good number interested to purchase a board, we can then start to build a limited edition of extremecarving boards.
Please keep in mind that even though snowboarding is our passion and hobby, we are just two regular guys with a family and a full time job. With these obligations, we will commit progressively the best we can.
The cost of our snowboards should be somewhere between a production race board and a high end custom board.
To get the maximum performance out of the board, it is important that the board is matched perfectly the rider’s physical characteristics. To make the board custom-like, we will pre-build three different board lengths with three different flexes for each length. This combination results in nine boards of different lengths and/or stiffness. This idea is a new concept by itself !
To go ahead in our limited edition process, we need your help! We need a head count of how many board to produce and, above all, to determine our (your) future “custom” board characteristics.
For those interested, please forward to info@extremecarving.com with the following info:
1) Name
2) Height (cm)
3) Weight (clothes and boots excluded…Kg)
4) Shoe size (the number written on your snowboard boots, ex: 275).
The above information is strictly for statistic reasons and you are not bound whatsoever to purchase a board. In addition, we will use those info to tweak the different parameters of our models. As expected, all info are and will be strictly confidential.
If there is a high number of carvers interested in our products and when we are ready, we will add a purchase order page on our website for your convenience.
Should you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to share your views on this forum which would benefit all of us.
Thanks to all !!
Jacques Rilliet and Patrice Fivat.
