K2 Slayblade with Formulas my take

Back at the On Snow earlier this year I tried this deck out since then it’s been tweaked to what they were thinking of doing for the 2011 version. Here’s my updated look at this freeriding behemoth.

Bloody Board

Here’s the full movie from the APO team over in Europe. You get swallow tail pow slashes, doubles, jibs, pipe, and the whole gamut of riding. The sound track doesn’t suck and it’s a solid flick.

Burton Joystick with Exiles a closer look

Every once in a while a board comes along from a company I despise that makes me say god damn this is a great stick. Well with Burton this just happens to be that deck, I can’t really fault this deck as it fits perfectly into the criteria I look for with a deck for [...]

Burton Hate with Infidels my take

Could it be irony that Burton actually named one of their decks the Hate for all the flack they receive from those less inclined to cream in their pants over them? Perhaps, needless to say here’s a review of a zero cambered deck of theirs that wasn’t anything spectacular.

Ride Slackcountry with Delta’s a closer look

There’s only one way to describe idiots that think riding on the side of a resort is “backcountry” and that’s idiots. This boards name definitely mocks these individuals, but don’t let the name fool you this board can handle what true backcountry riding has to offer.

People or Sheeple?

Has anyone else noticed that snowboarding has a herd of sheep that follow it around? They aren’t necessarily sheep in the sense that you’re thinking with their whole white fluffy bodies grazing on grass and then eventually either getting molested by some drunken farmer or eaten by a wolf.

Capita Horrorscope with Union Forces my take

Here’s a board that was a late release last year that has now entered the production line. This thing is popping up all over the terrain parks here in Summit County and for good reason it’s a solid deck for hitting some jumps, doing some jibs, and getting your gypsy dance on. Check out my [...]
