 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Has anyone tried this board? If so, what's it like? Seems like a cool idea (the edge has multiple edges, almost as if it is serated), but does it work?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Simon (Mr T), Philip Prior, Didn't Gary's Lib Tech board have a serated edge when we were in Saalbach?? Much to his disgust!

It was a Ride board but I think his edges were DIY!!!

Bataleon boards also have an interesting take on new board design. I'm waiting to hear reports from some people who have actually ridden either them or the Lib-Tech before I even think about buying one though.

Board4Life, one of our users David@traxvax (i think that's right), I think i'm right in saying his son is the distributer/main agent for them in France. If in La Rosiere or Tarentaise i'm sure they can arrange a trial/demo if you are interested as they both have chalet businesses out there??? I heard good reports from them but then i guess i would, unfortunately i didn't get to try them out.

I've a Bataleon Hero, used it for the first time last week. Stunning board on and off piste but this model is very stiff and needed more strength than I have at the min. to get the best out of it. It needs a bit more input (but not effort) to crank it over from edge to edge but is much more forgiving when you balls up. What was interesting in powder it needed very little change of style to keep it planing and is incredibly stable.
The base is very tough and even after a very hard hit off a rock it's hardly marked.
On flat ice it’s a nightmare if you can’t keep it on an edge and you’ve got the reactions of a cat.
It’s a 157 and with me at 90kl, I was very pleased with its powder handling and fast kick turns through the trees were sheer pleasure, For the first time ever I didn’t hit one. Considering my lack of fitness, I’m also very surprised at how few times I stacked . . . couldn’t say it was because of the board but if it is I’ll be one happy monkey.
I wouldn’t say it’s huge step forward but it is a Great Board.
PS. it’s a heavy booger so once you spin it up in the air it wants to keep turning, beware, it’s dead easy to over-rotate coming into a landing if you’re used to winding up a light board.
