What about copyright for "EXTREMECARVER", "EXTREMECARVING" and etc. titles ?
7 months ago SG already tried it. Is't it ? :-)
Why Frank got luck with it in contrast to SG ?

Must be an April Fool. Sigi couldn't be so stupid to invite Virus Snowboards to his SG Open - its him who wants to sell boards. Also look at the price - that's far too cheap for Virus.

If Frank appears there he'll get a kick in the **** from me. :D :D

@ Alexy - what exactly did SG try to copy except Kesslers' perfomance in the racecourse?

Anyhow - I'm sure the SG Open will be a great event. I'ld hope to see some extremecarvers around though many racers don't believe in extemecarving at all (it's against "everything" they have learned - just came back from a training camp this week where the coach, a former worldcup racer and BXer from Austria and coach (not headcoach) of the Austrian B Team couldn't really believe in the extremecarving videos I showed to him and didn't like the style - his comment was "looks like some unsuccesfull former worldcup racers trying to go for something else")

Funny humor no?

I would fire the guy playing with the image of my company for just a moment of fun...but its not my company...
Takes 1 minute to get your image down, and many years to rebuild...

Leaving for easter away from snow...

We'll announce what we are up to when it is time, meaning when deals are secured and contracts signs... We do not believe in advertising news for just advertising purposes. But stay tuned because news are going to be good. We have kept the same directing line since before day one, and we will never cross it...so be patient few more weeks.

we'd appreciate...

Post by nils » Wednesday 11 April 2007, 12:08

we'd appreciate some low profile when it comes to announcing that news, since we are currently working on legal and media communication solutions regarding the announcement made by Virus.

Until then, the topic is closed
thnx for your comprehension: this is an EC forum alright, but since we (swoard) run it, we feel like only fair competition can be announced here ( which was the case for other brands until now )
