Ohhh, Eurocarver!!
I've tried narrow race boards a few times over the years and I have so little confidence and stability that I quickly give them back. Maybe I'll break out my 142 lunch tray with a 26" duck stance. Paul |

wow!
I always wanted to try a carving board, especially the Burton stuff. So how's it like going from a soft binding + free-style board to a hard boot + carving board? maybe one day I'll divert my car mod fund back into snowboard equipment. |

I've always had much trouble going on ice with my current setup. Carving boards sounds like it will fix that problem. |

thats alot of board...
that reminds me that i really need a new board. I'm on last years Nidecker Smoke 58XL. Little bit of a de-lam problem behind my front binding, it'll hold up hor a while till I can allocate some funds for a new board. I'm so glad that companies are starting to realize how stupid Cap boards and move away from that design. In the last 2 seasons, I have had 3 boards De-Lam: 2 Smoke XLs and a K2 Wisdom Wide. I was most pissed about the Wisdom, that board ruled. |

That would imply a couple of things for us... I'm sure really good technique can carve on any freestyle board though. I too can only carve on either soft snow. |

Carving boards!!
SWEAT boards! I can't wait to start the season.
This year I'll be riding a Volkl RennTiger SL 163 with Bomber Trench Digger Step-ins. When I'm not ripping on my RT, I'll be on my Volkl P50's! Yeah, I like to go fast! PS-For you carvers, check out this web site: Bomber Online EDIT: Carving on Ice: it's a combination of technique and equipment. A carving setup will allow you to transfer more pressure to the edge (Hardboots, stiff bindings) and thus get better edge hold in all conditions. A good technique uses the tools to their highest potential. If you go to the link above, there are all kinds of great articles by Jack Michaud and others on how to carve, etcetera. Dig 'em deep!

cool site! more stuff to drool over.
I am such a n00b to this stuff, I've never heard of any (well, almost) of these companies... If you ppl don't mind, can anyone do some brief reviews of the stuff they own? Much appreciated. |

I'm a Volkl snob, so I'm biased here. However, I've heard great reviews on Volkl, Donek, Niddekker(sp?) , and Prior. Most of the carvers I know prefer to stay away from Burton, but I have heard great reviews about the Factory Prime.
As far as bindings go, it seems that the most desired gear is from Bomber(what I have) and Catek. Very stiff, very strong stuff from those companies. The Burton Race plates are good (I also have a set) but they are flexible, and I worry about the plastic breaking. My only experience with boots is an old pair of Rossi ski boots, which were horrible for carving a snowboard, and a new pair of Raichle snowboard boots which rock! If anyone has any questions, or would like to chat about carving, email me [email protected], or IM me at yahoo messenger or AIM. |
