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).
