Welcome everybody!
We hope you will enjoy visiting this new site and using the forum!
We ask everyone to use english to be understood by everyone. We could make later another forum in french for example.

Beautiful site. Can't wait to get through all the vids. Now all I need is a broadband connection!

Congratulations on a very informative and visually pleasing site! The description of the turning process is good. Love the the videos! I'll have to try it (although I only have a freeride board). I expect frustration

I did not have time to view the entire site yet, but what I've seen look great. The videos with the instructions are really great, they make it much easier to understand. And I totally agree with your opinions on technique, exactly what I found to work best. I am just not that good and fluent at it as you guys are......
Great work!

Thank you for this nice european webpage! Very clean looking. I like especially the description of the push-pull turn. The videos are very helpfull.
Hope this forum gets more frequented than other carving-forums in europa.

I think more people in europe and in the world speak english and not french.
I think it is better to use english all the time in this forum

Hi people,
Great site, spent the evening on it

... very interesting. Thanks to you I hope i will improve my backside but I have to face with this pb: with my feet and my board I have 65° on my front foot so I cant follow the first point of your settings advises!!! I have lifts on my bindings, so I will try without to see the difference.
I'm currently downloading your huge video with my 56K modem...is that not a good proof of my motivation ??!!!!

Nice! One should do the effort of trying our technique proposed here. It can take some time to change "wrong" moves, but it's really worth, I promise you. Extreme carving is the sport who gives me the most incredible feelings (though I do parachuting)

Thanks for a great site. I am glad to finally see a good, informative dialogue and user manual on this type of alpine riding. I am looking forward to playing around with some of this. Way to go guys.
