Mpride/La Griffe

Post by Skwalleur » Sunday 14 December 2008, 16:03

Hey carvers.
Does anyone have any experience of comparing the Mpride or new La Griffe Skwals to the Thias Line (F183 for example which I ride mostly) or the Monocarver by Völkl?

Thanks Pokkis.
Hey I was out all night on your Burner yesterday. Really sweet. Kind of reminds me on what I started riding on - my old 162 burner.

The lifts were open for 36 hours...

They do have an english part, but the navigation still is in french, so I just find it a bit tedious... Mais je suis d'apprentissage!

Yeah, I know Pokkis - but that does not come out so good most of the times, especially when the forum is in English and nav in French...

And I prefer translate.google.com

Try to set your default language to English?

Thanks!

It should also work if you can change your browser's language preferences (in Firefox you can do this). I've never seen this forum in French at any time. But if it can't find a compatible language it gives you French because that's the default language.

I have 1) Dutch, 2) English, 3) German (I can't read other languages) as preferred languages.

Probably your browser is set to Norwegian (I presume your from Norway), with no fallback language that is known to this forum.

Sweden, close enough. Fallback is english though... Maybe chrome isn't smart enough.
