Patrice, Jacques why don't we ever see you guys wearing a helmet in your pictures :?: I use a helmet only off piste since last season. Especially in December and January, there are invisible rocks right below the fresh snow: what a danger! Of course the visible rocks are also dangerous when one jum...

Par contre je peux vous affirmer une chose : la tenue du talon est très bonne. Dans les Raich que j'avais en loc, je ridais quasiment sur la pointe des pieds ! La c'est un bonheur de precision. Perso, je les adore, et je ne veux pas en changer. Merci infiniment! Ca c'est une information primordiale...

Re: Qui ride en Head Stratos Pro ?
Je n'ai jamais essayé ce modèle "Head Stratos Pro". Mais comme nous sommes en contact avec Head, nous aurons peut-être l'occasion de faire des tests cet hiver... Nous vous tiendrons au courant si cela se réalise. Reste à savoir si ces modèles seront toujours produits, puisqu'ils ne figurent même pas...

Re: Le skwal, d'apres vous ca aide?
Oui, probablement ça doit aider! Oser se lancer dans la pente et apprendre à incliner le corps au maximum dans les virages est une nécessité pour l'EC. Bref tout ca pour vous dire que meme si vous voulez rester au surf alpin, si une occasion se presente a vous d'essayer un skwal, n'hesitez pas, il y...

Push pull technique
The EC technique is the "push pull" technique applied to extreme angulations of the body with the snow. The "push pull" technique is an advanced turn that requires a proper movement of the legs, while the upper part of the body do rotations as taught in the swiss snowboard schools. It comes from sur...

Re: Boots and Bindings
I however, was fascinated by the grace, power and fluid carves. Welcome CarveJunky and thank you for your compliments! The fluidity and the way our turns seem easy (even on difficult snow) come from 3 factors mainly: 1) Our "push pull" technique. Check out a recent thread here . 2) Our extremecarvi...

Dangerous for the shoulders?
Although snowboarding is a lot safer than a lot of people think (esp. alpine snowboarding!), this way of riding is a bit dangerous for the shoulders I guess. Good warming up required... Yes, it may be dangerous, especially if the visibility is bad... Running into a bump or a block of ice that one h...

Re: Give us a clue
Slow chairs or surface lifts? Mainly slow surface lifts :D For extremecarving, we prefer the slow lifts: a small flow implies few people on the slope and room for our turns! Resorts with fast chair lifts like Verbier are crowded hells for all the good carvers (snowboard and ski too!) :evil: Last ti...

Who wants an extremecarving board?
We have to precise that our (your) EC boards could be sold to anyone around the world. The cost of our snowboards should be somewhere between a production race board and a high end custom board. We hope it won't exceed 800 Euros, taxes and shipping exclusive. For now we are making tests and we still...
