I am sure that you can all ride really fast, but do you dare ride SLOW???

I had to change the numbering to get the items in a more natural progression

the manifesto items are like a checklist

you have to say YES to all the statements ...i.e. you have to watch the clips and read som of the references so that you can reall agree that you understand and agree ...

then next step is to do the exercises in the videos that will published soon 

when you have filmed yourself doing them you are a certified EUC Slow Carver

and you will get the sticker and a part of the "inner circle" of EUC Slow Carvers

and we will togehter develop EUC Slow Carvers manifesto part 2 - advanced

I am sure that you can all ride really fast, but do you dare ride SLOW???
