more seriously:
They have decided to build their own version of an EC board...i assume its made in SKorea or in Japan.
Interesting to see that since they started this they stopped importing our board...and their sells at the same price without the developpment and swiss quality of our production...a bit disappointing for us, but as we said, its competition that builds the community.

well maybe but we are yet to see a board with similar performance for the program its designed for....as coca-cola says...always prefer the original :).

And about the price: i find it always strange that people buy boards from Pogo or Virus at 1500 euros without any blink of the eye, but cough when they want to buy our boards that are made with the same quality and durability.... I'm not arguing about the fact that those company sell 1500 or 2000 euros boards ( because its their business model), but to the reactions that people have when it comes to the price of the Extremecarver for example... Believe me, the construction cost of a high quality material and manufacturing board made in Switzerland really outputs high retail prices...

starikashka, if You want to get similar things for less money, just tune to the chinese boardmakers like:
Tianxia / Ningbo-Heli / Hotspot / NBH / Benpat / Tonglian / Halege and so on.
They can shape You any board at a very-very-very low price. But You should take at least 50 of them, up to over 100'000 pieces!

- - - - -

It's incredible how much time on videos can be spend to be/carve not like flat (carving like flat on such easy, equalized slope -> so called "lazy-carving")
Come on people, making a video about siting on a chairlift, or to get in to bindings and taking so long time for get some speed is soooo boring - minutes of boring stuff compared to only a handfull seconds of carving on a residental area ! I think there is not any demand at all, to ride on snowboards!

- - - - -

@ Nils
Migros (magasin d'allimentation en suisse) sells Years ago a freeride-freestyle snowboard from the M-Budget Line. Made in Austria, full wood-core, three length (152/157/163), price with bindings (Made in Germany): SFr. 280.- - and of course You can do EC with it (157, but its hard with 152 / 163, used with plate-bindings and hardboots)

Limited to 444 pieces over all 3 length!

And of course on the liftque and on slope in Switzerland it's the absolute eye-catcher, not compareable with any other boards like Kessler/ Virus or e.g. a Burton T6 - just because everyone knows the label M-Budget in Switzerland (similar design like any food or non-food items).

http://www.gotteron-forum.ch/viewtopic.php?t=338 (bottom)
Gliding on Snowboards,
like Pogo, Kessler, Virus, Hot, Nidecker and others,
from 151 up to 183 cm and 14 to 27.4 cm width,
covering any kind of shapes with
any kind of boots and bindings.
