ippy 66 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Camber humps is a take on flying v aiming more towards zero camber i guess. That is, you take flying V (c2), make the pivot almost flat, and voila you have a board with a bit more of a camber lean. Though honestly, i prefer looking at it as a tweak to zero camber. Advantages off the top of my head: more resistance when you load it so you get a bit of snap back on it compared to a straight zero camber ride. Weighted i assume the board can be pivoted in the same way you might pivot c2 releasing the contacts. Catch free ish. But not as loose. It also helps mellow out the forstbite edges since the humps are at the exact point of those (the insert pack). You get a slightly poppier less loose version of c2 i reckons. Something mroe akin to a zero camber ride only with releasable contacts and a bit of snap to it. It seems interesting to be honest. But i think i saw somewhere that burton arent doing it for 2013. So its probably not where they want it exactly on the snow. It might be one of those "sounds good on paper" type ideas. Link to post Share on other sites
