Here is a small and late info that we did not mention on the Forum because of the effervescence in March:
The extremecarving movie STOKED has been shown (in high quality) at the French TV on 17th March 2003! Channel:
Sport+ (available on Canalsatellite and the cable). Program: "Infinidade". Three repeat broadcasts.
Being shown on TV is a good way to defend our sport and to increase interest for alpine snowboarding... During the days that followed the broadcasting the movie has been downloaded from our site more than 1000 times per day, what is considerable for the bandwidth requirement!
Next winter we will have probably a reporting on the Swiss TV ("Télévision Suisse Romande": TSR1). We will inform you...
Have a nice summer!

Guys, Congrats!
Any chance of putting the video on Extreme Channel or any other TVs with extreme sport sessions?
The point is that people really do not know this sport. I know many skiers and softbooters to whom I have to keep explaining at least an hour what EC is. And they still do not understand. Fortunately I always have my laptop with me, so I usually just show them one of the videos to make them understand
So, arrange some more TV broadcasts, so that I do not have to explain it no more to anyone.
Cheers,
István
