ippy 66 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 haha! check this dude! FEATURES: - Unique combination if soft flex and ubeliveable torsion perfromance: + 35% MORE FLEX COMBINED WITH +10% MORE TORSIONAL RIDGILITY (combined to common constructions). - Maximum riding performance in all conditions - No compromise between freestyle flex and torsional rigidity - Added protection from nasty edge catches - Impressive carving performance and edge-to-edge response - Unprecedented stability + Unilimited speed - Improved control - Great Fun Factor Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Whoa....Kinky. Looks like a mistake. Snake Transition or ....is it Snake Oil? Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 oooh ooh! When i was a kid, about 13 years old, there was a competition at my school to design a bridge that could support the most weight before collapsing. I remember the dude that won it did it through some kind of wavy pattern like this in fact. It sticks in my memory because he didnt just win, he kicked the **** out of the nearest competition. Maybe he designed this board Basically its a way of creating a board that its edge to edge super stiff and responsive, without at the same time having to sacrifice longitudinal stiffness. In fact, theres a picture they have somewhere of the board basically bending from the center and its fairly clear that the little humps will allow for this. So maybe its true. Theyve delivered a board that solves the whole torsional/longitudinal flex issue without resorting to strategic carbon or kevlar stringers. Actually, theyd have to do edge to edge stringers to make it happen, and i have never seen a board thats done that. Closest might be the indoor FK with carbon cross beams. It also looks like the shape gives a kind of mtx and offers a tonne of contact points between the bindings (more like nideckers version actually now i thin about it since this is localised between the bindings). This might give what is a soft board, just a little extra middle grip to stop it folding and washing in a carve when the weight shifts. Still concerned with that wobble base though. ETA: SUPER huge radius on the sidecut. Its almost straight by the looks of it. Oooh! just saw this definition...Bit confused... since when has more flex = more pop and better turning? More flex means better turning, easier control, better pop and more fun, but weak grip on ice or hard-pack conditions . Link to post Share on other sites

norcal 5 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just youtubed this board.....CRAZY flex!! Where are these guys based out of? Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 TWENTY METER SIDECUT RADIUS!!! Plus wider board = "157 The same area as a 176 deck with 7.7m radius". Its like a nug, only insane The video is pretty awesome as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h20bUC2YOrI Truthfully, unlike the others, this is really interesting. ETA: Polska.

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 So they have snake transition skis as well as snowboards? Be curious to hear a review of the performance of those. Is torsion a big issue with skis? Any thoughts, ippy? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not a lik of snow in that video.... Link to post Share on other sites

Is torsion a big issue with skis? Any thoughts, ippy? Id honestly have no idea. Ive never strapped on a set of skis in my life. I tried finding their ski info, but maybe those are just internal samples. The site is called contractsnowboards. Which makes me think the skis might be a) a new addition or a wholly different brand name altogether Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 LIbtech NAS are the skis. We saw a pair at Furano. Some snow magazine dude was demoing them. I thought they looked too thick and heavy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUyGY6D5U4w here is a photo of the edges. Link to post Share on other sites
