We received recently feedbacks from people who switched back to Swoard after trying clone attempts (made with no real developments and no real tests by EC specialists). Let's give also the Koreans some time to come back to the original.

Come back to the original, or just ride a Fanatic Grand-Ride 162, a Hooger Euro-Carve 66, or a Town & Country Freecarve 170 - all from 1995/96, at 21-21.8 cm waist and long radius sidecut!

I hope, we will see in a view weeks actionfull snowboarding animation from Korea on 2009 World Snowboard Championship in Gangwon (Hyundai Sungwoo Ski-Resort) with this new copies. If Korean riders win there some WCS-medals with this golden AX-176-board and the MBT-system, they are definitive some steps ahead, compared to Swoard! Otherwise - I saw the pictures from the boards, including the photographer on it - I think it's hard for them, to reach a higher level like Swoard/Nidecker do!

dear, all

we think swoard is the best of the best board for ec-carver. we like swoard team and snowboard.

up to now ax is test proto model. (we maked few boards for testing. the movie and photo is sample board.) we want to include the some function for korea slope style. (so many days ice slope at korea) so that we maked the ax proto.

Koreans some time to come back to the original. original is the original.... we agree to Patrice Fivat opinion.

ax is the other test clone.

Various countries and various continents.
Thank you for not starting flame wars there or on other Forum. Blabla is useless. Let people try all what they want, even copies attempts if they want. But for sure I would never stop riding my Swoard. The amazing last sequence of the movie "Carved" shows how the board is phenomenal and how it is working perfectly. The slow motion reveals all details and gives me a lot of emotion when I watch it.
Experience, long developments and, above all, the movies are not blabla.

Are You sure?
Last 1½ week I spend at many days hours of riding on my bicycle - You know there was nice weather, gentle temperatures (some degrees over freezing point), no salt on streets and about 95% less Germans around/on streets as usual (they disappeard nearly all like magic in only one or two days (20/21.12.) back to home or to ski resorts) - a feeling now, just like I would live in my own country (Switzerland) - a stressless time to ride on a bicycle for not have to concentrate only to traffic and with no more agressions; and for having time to watch what happens beside/around me.

At a small village I pass than a secondhand-store with wide open doors. A white stroke next to a door flashes up for an instant. Due of my too high speed, it tooks about another 100 m to do a turn for pedaling back to the store.
The white stroke was a Rossignol Alpine Freecarving 165 from 1997/98, the white-silver one, with Fritschi Pure bindings. But the woman there, prices this board a little to expensive: SFr. 50.- (orginal price, board only, was at cheep SFr. 599.- in 1997/98 )
Data's: Runnng lenght 140 cm, Waist 21.0 cm, sidecut 10 m, construction: Microcell-core - with 3.6 kg at the heavy side, but the board gives a well damped impression.

Rossignol's description: - Carving on smooth trails just behind the rotrack!
A good product for joining the gravity seekers' universe.
These confidence-building boards will take you to the Nirvana of carving with well rounded, elegant, beautyfull turns that skiers just cannot do.

Are here any riders who knows more about this board?

[starikashka]

no salt on streets and about 95% less Germans around/on streets as usual (they disappeard nearly all like magic in only one or two days

It could be a very bad sign for you ))))))) Magic with similar effect was already used in 40th of last century Not sure it happens again, but do not rush with conclusions

"Carving on smooth trails just behind the rotrack!"

[starikashka]

The image of Schneewurm which i have in my head does not envisages such a behavior like following rotrack. He should be in front of it, showing to driver the way for a steepest slopes to make "German premium carvers" follow the rotrack and break the necks ))

joke if so
