Posted by: @spenser Of course there were some good parts and spicy moments, but did anyone else find this one kind of boring overall? I really enjoyed it, but definitely thought level of riding dropped off later in the day…. Read more»

Posted by: @c-fuzzy In my mind there’s a correlation between more “eco friendly” materials and boards having issues. From the epoxy and resins to missing top sheets or finishes to using different woods or sidewalls, it’s cool to support the… Read more»

Great competition. Zoi is clearly on another level than the other women. Can’t wait until the generation of girls she inspires reaches that stage. Frankly she’s on a different level than her predecessors and probably needs to wait for the… Read more»

As someone who professionally works with data, I would LOVE to see warranty and return data for different companies in a standardized format. Anecdotally the “Snapita” reputation seems deserved, but that’s still with like… maybe 12 random data points over… Read more»

Posted by: @unsatisfiedus is it possible to cut a few stiches on the lexicon and get the articulation of the tactical? [attach]6119[/attach] Don’t think so. Theoretically yes, but the entire Tactical shell is faux leather with more structure. The Lexicon… Read more»

Posted by: @unsatisfiedus anyone have thoughts on the sambas (ideally in the next 6 hours or so)? A buddy told me they’re pretty soft and I believe they don’t have the same sole reduction as the higher-end boots.

Adidas doesn’t care about snowboarding… if we ever seen anything “official” about them pulling out, I suspect it’ll be buried in a shareholder report somewhere and then Slush Mag or someone will pick up on it. I heard the rumors… Read more»

Contrary perspective to @c-fuzzy, I haven’t ridden the Selects but owned the Pilots and found them a hair too soft for me– suspect Selects would be even more so. But I’m also a big-ish boy (210 lbs), so I probably… Read more»

Posted by: @c-fuzzy I’m noticing this move to more ‘late release’ boards and collabs (like Winfields) to capture some exclusivity or buzz. Wondering how long this can last. Nidecker brands (Jones and Yes) kind of mastered the “early release” in… Read more»
