  1. hi all, I know everybody is stoked after MCC, but I wanted to share our own stoke with you! see below a couple clips from Polish carving session - 30 carvers together rocking a slope. part 1: part 2 : Have fun watching! Notable mentions: - Canman - Bart is riding with us - i know some of you know him. praised be the edge!
  2. Gerald - i love looking back at these and i think - you have come a long way bro! whats funny though, at the time i would think that i have reached an absolute max of my ability - a wall! how perspective changes...
  3. Boot - definitely MS951 with Zipfit liners Board - hmm all depends what you want out of the board. My personal fav with best money to value ratio is polish made Nobile. Full camber and very lively. Oxess rides the best out of all the gear that I have ridden, however I cannot justify the price difference for the amount additional fun vs say Nobile or Apex snowboards. But hey I am cheap so it might be different to you! All in all - as you probably noticed through the clip, board hinders my riding least....
  4. hi all, wanted to share a clip showing my progression through the years, since I have put on hard boots, some of you probably seen this before, at least in pieces - decided to put it together finally. i still do have many problems, but at least i know where the edges are finally. to all the strugglers out there - take it easy and keep on riding! any advice on what to do next appreciated!
  5. Ladies and Gents, friend of mine made a very costly mistake. he bought recently a brand new pair of the latest UPZ RCR 2022 - used them 4 times and decided they are too big. he is looking to offload them. state is almost like new, bar a few scratches. this is the latest construction with four buckles, front mounted tongue and new RCR spring box. he is asking 500 euro plus shipping PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP HIM!
  6. this was my board before - Signed by Sigi on the Carve camp in 2018 i think. Super fun ride - my usual daily driver as well. @alpinegirl- sorry to hear about your accident!
  7. Sounds like you never removed your helmet...
  8. come on! Viruses are not that trendy since like 2 years now.... Jesus....
  9. I contacted Minuole directly and he send them to me. But in the end they cost much less then 600 bux... Have a word with him direct.
  10. Unfortunately what Daveo says seem true. At least this is what I have heard from one of the Czech junior racers - she changed the board due to issues with SG. Seems she isn't the only one - Stefan rings a bell ?
  11. They have been designed by her brother true She is still posted as SG prorider on their website ...
  12. Hi all, Did anybody hear anything that capita went out of business ? I heard some rumors that the factory has been closed down Seeing this picture below made me think too Looks like ledecka is riding F2 with SG graphics...
  13. Canman is a great guy at explaining carving here is his youtube channel if you got time...
  14. That said about the resolution of the Vid, note that content watched on mobile devices an most pc monitors will be actually all right. How many of you have got 4k monitors ? Issue becomes apparent when watching on TV. For watching on TV it's worth looking at the Hugh Hou tutorials on how to export for best quality https://youtube.com/c/HughHouFilm
  15. Hi all, I am very happy with back belt from insta. Works really well and don't have to hold anything which is an advantage imho.
  16. That's crazy. I had the same exact plate with soft stiffness too. Rode it on oxess 164 medium and nobile 166 with ptex and I couldn't complain how they had worked. Oxess https://youtu.be/k8IPo9oogeg Nobile https://youtube.com/shorts/psayEi5KM58?feature=share Also the weight didn't seem so much of a problem for carving. For sliding and holding in your hand maybe.
  17. If lateral flex in F2s is not an issue to the racing teams, why would it be an issue to a carver? Also if later flex is a bad thing, why bomber has sidewinder option? F2s race arent a noodle imho.
  18. Not sure whats the issue with the allflex on @Jack Mboards - why it wouldnt let you carve? mind you there is a third option for allflex insert pattern - Sinline and so far it has been working great for me with stellar hold that doesnt sacrifice the feel of the snow, like it did with Apex X plate. Dont get me wrong Apex X rode really good, but I just didnt like the detached feeling. I mainly ride man made snow/ice so plates come in really handy even though I am just a carver not a racer.
  19. Don't see why would you pay the extra for SG bindings. I can understand bomber being made out of different material to F2s. SGs are just an evolution of F2s at more then double the price? How many racers actually race SG bindings ? And yes I did have SGs.
  20. this is sorted!! thanks
  21. Hi I use the back bar from insta360 with 120 cm selfie stick https://store.insta360.com/product/The_Back_Bar You can wear it on the front too, as it has an adjustable angle for the pole. Not sure how to set it up for extreme carving...
  22. Right, I finally had a chance to ride both the race mounts and the carve mounts. on both the grip of the board/plate is immense, however with my nobile race the race mounts work much better. When discussed with Gaspar he told me the race mounts work better for short/slalom turns and give back much more energy at the turn exit. This became apparent only after riding in a much steeper terrain. I have a medium flex plate with medium flex board. a bit of footage riding black diamonds and the reds.
