Burton Deuce – 2010

The 2010 Burton Deuce is the one of the best value snowboards this season, selling for less than $400. Light on Price, and Heavy on Features, the Burton Deuce provides superior edge hold, great pop and solid strength.

The Deuce features Burton’s own Super Fly core and Sintered base which allow the board to perform well in virtually any mountain condition. Burton recommends pairing the Deuce with their Custom bindings and Moto boots, which complements the Deuces performance and value. The graphics on the Deuce are pretty flat, but that’s typical with most of Burton’s boards; your money is going into board technology, not the graphics, and that’s a good thing.

Additional Deuce features include:

Twin Shape and Flex
Biax React Fiberglass
Grip and Rip Tune Edges
Slanwall Sidewalls
Pro Tip

K2 Parkstar 2010

Leave a reply

The 2010 K2 Parkstar snowboard was created because they did not want to mess with the Darkstar, and they wanted to try something different. Therefore K2 decided to take all that people love about tech K2 Darkstar and add some new tech to come up with the K2 Parkstar.

The 2010 K2 Parkstar is a twin tip, high performance, FreeStyle machine. The difference between the Parkstar and the Darkstar is this board is built with the K2 Jib Rocker. The Jib Rocker is described by K2 as “loose, buttery feel while jibbing around the park or slaughtering the streets. Whether you’re pressing boxes or just playing around on the flats, JIB ROCKER has a forgiving no-catch feel that allows you to pull off even the most wild combinations. The flat mid-section allows you to lock into rails like you were on a skateboard.”

One thing to note on the K2 Parkstar is not to let the name fool you, even though this board has the name Park in it does not mean that is what it is all about. When K2 designed this snowboard that wanted to create a board that rip up the mountain from the top all the way till you hit the park. So for all the FreeStyle riders out there that like to treat the mountain like a playground, you may want to give this K2 a chance.

Leave a reply

If you live in the park, than the 2010 K2 Jibpan is the board for you. The K2 Jibpan features the K2 JIB TIP which integrates a longer effective edge with a shorter nose and and tail to provide a more maneuverable board without losing stability. As great as this board is in the park, it can also hold its own carving through the powder.

Hyper Progressive sidecuts and carbon inlays provides a quick response and a powerful pop. Like most of K2’s boards this year, the Jipan features the 4000 Sintered base, which K2 calls the “fastest natural material available”. Bottom line, this is a good all mountain board, and GREAT board for the park.

Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX 2010

3 Replies

The Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX 2010 snowboard is back and has already picked up two awards for the 2010 season; Snowboard-Mag 2010 Excellence in Board design and TransWorld Snowboarding 2010 Good Wood Test. For those of you who have not rode a Lib Tech board, this is one you need to try.

The 2010 Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX has the “Banana Tech”, which basically gives you a a ton of control and feel between your feet. This snowboard rides catch-free and is loose even though you will notice that the tip and tail are pretty stiff. I think a lot of the Jib riders are really going to love this board, as the stiff tip and tail are going to make pressing off the boxes and rails a lot easier and then the low spin weight of this Lib Tech board are going to make it a ton of fun.

Overall the Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX is going to make your 2010 season a ton of fun no matter if it is hitting the park, just ripping up the mountain or cruising in the powder as this board can do it all.

Forum Destroyer Chilly Dog 2010

Leave a reply

The Forum Destroyer Chilly Dog 2010 snowboard is a board that is based off the classic Forum Destroyer with some new tricks up it sleeve. This board is a twin tip freestyle snowboard that has already been rated by Transworld’s Good Wood testers as the top park snowboard for 2010.

The 2010 Forum Destroyer Chilly Dog is all about Forum’s new Continuous Rocker technology, the Continuous Rocker is based off one big circle. This board features one smooth constant arc underfoot making the board stable, predictable and a ton of fun. The Forum Continuous Rocker shape is like other rocker shapes in that it lifts the contact points at the tip and tail up off the snow. By taking the contact points off the snowboard it makes a lot easier for boarders to no worry as much about catching your edge on take-offs or landings.
