 Poster: A snowHead
|
Burton Custom V rocker - Didnt waste my time with the normal custom, I know exactly how that rides, never really liked it tbh. The new V rocker brings this board to life, definitely joint top of the boards I did today.
Ride Society - Sharing top with the custom, this board was so easy to ride, gunning it speed, jibbing it, stable in the air.
Atomic Axum - New shape for 2010, squared off nose and tail, weird rocker in the nose and tail, 1st board I tried and it's a massive improvement on the old axum, which I loved.
Salomon Sanchez - This board is freakin insane, monster rocker on it. Was actually easier to rode on the nose or the tail sideways than go straight. Insane freestyle board, a bit too specialised for me though, was excellent in the powder. I was maxed out on the stance and it just floated. A real eye opener to rocker.
Salomon Official - top end freestyle board, was good but for me would have benefited from a de tune, or riding harder.
Salomon Ivy (not tested, I'm not a girl innit) Did notice Salomon have ditched the torsion X they were using in the past and added bamboo and carbon things to get the pop in their boards.
Ride DH - Again was good but somehow felt like it needed detuning, just wanted to turn. Felt much like my nitro misfit. After speaking to the rep about the detune he said the DH2 is less agressive and has more rocker, wish I tried that one now.
Other notable entries, Salomon Sick Stick, Ride Yukon, Atomic Alibi, Custom X.
All in all the best day of my life, paid to board. Just rocked up, said my name, free ski pass and every board for 2010 at my disposal. Worst thing was only having 7 hours to test them. Missed out on DC, Bataleon, Rome, K2, Flow, NeverSummer, Ftwo, Nidecker etc etc.

Man, I'd love to have the oportunity to do that - can't see it ever happening though as I work in poxy IT.
You can pay to go to one of the board test days at Tam or MK but I somehow don't think it will be quite the same

bar shaker, no, must be the picture. I was riding it slightly set back. since that day i don't want to ride my board anymore, that sanchez was mental. Turns anyone into a jib king. Next year i wouldn't be suprised if i was on the custom v, the sanchez or the society. Rockers rock.
