Hihi, you are talking about the 9 radar control boxes on the highway? ;-)

Aha, You have count them. So, I was not too wrong, for to compare the amount of boards to these boxes I saw Yesterday. Otherwise, they should mount more of them, also as mobile boxes in tunnels of Geneva. Some drivers with an leading F on their car, like to use the tunnels of Geneva in the early morning going-to-work-trafic for races like on Formula-1 in Monaco!
What about the Nidecker Proto. No more production in Switzerland?
Megalight CamRock? It seems that realy any board-maker is comming now with rocker-outline boards!

Not really interested in a softboot (carver) board, but found these pictures on the french forum, so I thought may be there is some intrest overhere.
By the way, beautiful mountain pictures :wink:

What are your boots and bindings preferences for this softboot carving?

Thanks.

Nice, a board for new carving-horizons!
Just approved on the well known high risk avalanche mountains of Evolène!

But is the new shape also approved for changing edges on the fly? So, a run all on the left of the picture down from M-Rouge (2979m) can also be done, e.g. like I did once with my swallow like on the second picture?
