The first time I ever set foot on an Arbor it was this exact model and with that maiden voyage on that years Coda I saw everything Arbor had to offer. Their combination of reverse camber and grip tech makes all the difference in the world with how these boards ride. In all those seasons [...]
For 10 years now Endeavor has been building boards in the great white north to the hype of many Canadians. I was finally able to get them to send me two of their decks and the Color Series was one of them. Here’s how it stacked up.
The T1 isn’t a board for everyone and by that I mean it’s built for bigger park features and high speed trickery. I have a long standing love/hate relationship with this board. At least this current incarnation of it has finally moved more towards where I believe it should be.
I have to believe that the graphics for this are directly inspired by the Bloods vs Crips gang war. So just be careful of where you’re rocking this thing. I will say this board is a bit on the stiffer side and probably not for everyone.
Boards with boob implants are the new thing evidently. Who doesn’t want to get their board augmented and slam some rails down on them. I’ll let the review talk for itself.
Sometimes I really wonder why companies have so many SKU’s in their line up especially when the boards basically over lap. The idea of the Classics line by Salomon is one of those things I can’t wrap my head around. Sure the boards ride great but is there really a point for that much overlap? [...]
I’m sure everyone probably thought Sims was dead or at least irrelevant in snowboarding. I can assure you it’s not and the E-Board with their patented X-Wedge technology defines the brand as being more alive than anything. Rarely do gimmicky technologies survive in snowboarding and it’s easy to make something look visible even if it [...]
Everyone is adding some form of hybrid camber to their line up. The only variation amongst companies is how big the camber zones are. With Lamar theirs is so prevalent it makes the board almost hook free and keeps the contact points off the snow immensely reducing drag.
Who says camber is dead? Definitely not Jake Olson-Elm he sticks to the tried and true in his pro model from Signal. This boards not as soft as people make it out to be and the graphic does draw attention. Here’s what I had to say about it.
New for this year the Cinema is a mid wide based somewhat off the Sub-Pop. With production shifting completely to Playmaker Nitro is really putting all it’s eggs in one basket. But don’t worry the graphics are still the same darker inspired one.
