Our first test board is fantastic!

[rilliet]

For the first time today, I had the opportunity to test the new board (175 medium test board) on ice (very hard artificial snow).

It is the best board I ever had on ice!
When carving, it precisely glides on its edge like in good snow.
The same in EC where I have been even very surprised of the comfort: no vibration or parasitic scratching. A hole or an strong piste uneveness is needed to make the edge "jump", after what it goes back in its path as if nothing had happened.

I felt in total safety even on very step slopes.

I imagine that you think I'm trying to make an ad for our boards.
That's true, but this won't change anything. Today, I was just the happiest carver on ice. Our hand made prototypes have never been able of such a performance.

Make sure you get video of the SWOARD in those circumstances (ice, hard slope), and try to get sound too!

That (including scratching sound...) would be the ideal way to convince the people on bomber that both EC and the board are perfect not only on "hero-snow", but also on ice.
Because that's the basic comment they always have over there:

" yeaahh, looks nice, but only possible on soft snow"

"do you see that snow spitting from the edge? proves it's soft euro-snow"

I remember reading somewhere that you testride at Verbier (Savoleyres etc). I've been there 10 years ago.

Is that where you go most often?
I would like to see and meet other EC-ers.
If possible even take EC-lessons.

What would be the location with the best chances for that?

Hello i was wondering if you left your cant on your Bomber Bindings?
and can you take the canting off since you said on your web site that
you dont believe in the cant system.
