Mintyjulep 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Yup, screw the actual technical bits, what is the best looking gear you have seen? These are fairly cool, but when I was in Dunedin I saw some seriously awesome ski's with a anime'd up Maiko type girl on a grey toned smokey background with a few flowers floating around Unfortunately my skis are boring blue and white, not to mention second hand. Being a beginner makes me sad. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 rofl. I like the girly designs ... I think it is a rebellion from being totally surrounded by boys in my home. But I don't think my Troop qualifies as 'girly' even though it is a girls board. So I stuck some round stomp studs on that have diamantes on the tops. Blinged it up a tad!! Only problem is I have lost a few of the diamante's - one in Hakuba, one in Thredbo and a few in Niseko! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 That does look sexy! Is that centre painted to look raised or is it actually raised? The ends are shaped the same as Reapers "The Coffin" board. Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It is raised by the looks - U2 snowaboard Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 are the tips shaped like that for a reason or just for aesthetics? Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Originally Posted By: Tubby Beaver are the tips shaped like that for a reason or just for aesthetics? From what I understand that is a downright spitting image of what Moment skis look like. I think pretty much just for aesthetics. That's what their tips are for. The only thing they do is make it harder for skins to grab onto them. Some frustrating days when your skins won't loop on the ski. Link to post Share on other sites
Mintyjulep 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 The whip looks like the snowboard of choice for Deckard in Bladerunner! Very cool looking. Is the centre painted white or is it a hole down the middle? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 THAT bit looks painted. Solid snowboard with raised binding attachments - no need for risers! And the shape is all about aesthetics. I was worried it would catch or not ride a well - but the Reaper's board rides the same as the others with rounded ends. Looks funky though. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 here's a close up. The centre bit is hollow. That's right, you are seeing the floor which the board is lying on . The 4x4 binding plate is raised on spider legs. I read it's not recommended in deep pow. Link to post Share on other sites
