There’s always that one board you go to for everything, it’s like an old friend you can just count on it, no matter what the circumstances it just feels so natural riding it. Five years ago if you said that board would be an Arbor I would have laughed at you, but now it’s a [...]
Companies come and companies go often without any notice. When Omatic packed it in a piece of me died inside because I knew I wasn’t going to be riding anything with BS Tech anymore in the future. Fast forward to the present and Echelon has scooped up their tech along with their designer Jason Kanes. [...]
Some people go on and on about how camber is dead, while others keep talking about how it’s going to come back. Love it or hate it, there’s definitely a need to keep it around. Academy might not be a big brand but they certainly understand about why they need to keep it around.
I’ve ridden this board since it first came out in the Nitro line. It’s a jack of all trades master to none type of board that I think just about anyone that’s cruising around playing on the mountain would be happy. Since it’s a new year here’s another review.
Seems this year every company is dropping an entirely new model with some kind of hybrid camber. The good thing about Salomon is they know how to make a board and make it ride very well. Here’s how it stacked up.

What could be better than a bearded tranny with it’s tits flapping in the breeze on roller blades? Well probably a slew of things like a unicorn or something majestic like that. But being that this is the board of choice for the Salomon jib team the graphics just go wherever they want. Question will [...]
Now that everyone has figured out the whole alternate camber thing and it’s pretty much a done deal base shape is the new thing. You have TBT, BS Tech, 3d Base, Snake Transition, blah blah blah etc. etc. Rome is playing around with this diamond shape that elevates the contact points but keeps the majority [...]
Big mountain freestyle is one of those awe inspiring things to watch, but it’s even better to do. The Grip is designed for just that. Utilizing G.I.F.T. technology you would be hard pressed to find a more green snowboard.
Sometimes the little guys surprise you and send you a deck that is just phenomenal to ride. This was one of those decks. With a solid camber profile utilizing their Mustache Rocker, flex, and come on who can hate a board with a fucking Unicorn on it. MarHar made one of the best riding decks [...]
