FLOW
What sets Flow apart from the two-strap binding is Flow’s patented Power Triangle. A triangle is formed by the high tensile steel cable that connects the hi-back to the base-plate. This triangle gives the rider the ability to easily transfer greater energy to the board while exerting less physical energy, resulting in the most responsive ride available from any binding. Other features that are specific to Flow are the one- piece Power Strap and the reclining hi-back. The Power Strap is ideally formed to fit around the riders boot, virtually eliminating painful pressure points that are a common problem with two-strap bindings. The reclining hi-back drops down to allow the rider to enter the binding with one easy step, pivots back up and is snapped into position in one easy motion. This is the fastest and easiest entry system seen on the slopes today.
Y.E.S. Snowboards
YES, the rumors are true. David Carrier-Porcheron, Romain de Marchi, and JP Solberg, who all parted ways with Burton last Fall, are starting a new snowboard brand. YES they will be available at SIA and YES they have landed on a name. YES.
The idea for the new line was hatched when Jim Zbinden, founder of the Pulp68 family and designer of Nidecker’s NDK line, began talking with Romain de Marchi several years ago about a new type of company focused on quality, affordable boards with more of a skate feel. “RDM liked the idea and met [with] DCP & JPS to use this board,” says Zbinden. “At the same time, I worked out a new concept of snowboard brand, a brand that looks like a skate brand. Cheaper but stronger, changing design every 4 months.” Zbinden worked with Henry Nidecker, who manages the family factory, to create the boards, and prototypes started rolling out a couple months ago.
Lib-Tech & GNU
The most enviroMENTAL SNOWBOARD FACTORY
Mervin Manufacturing has been building snowboards every day for over 25 years. From the beginning, they have always been an enviromentally aware snowboard company. Nearly Canadian snowboard kraftsmen need healthy work enviroments, so they can achieve maximum shred. Mike Olson and Norm Nelson, head up thier enviroMENTAL division. It is thier passion to stay on the front lines with their green efforts.
Here are a few construction highlights of what seperates Lib-tech & GNU boards from the competition!!
Correct Sandwich, Multi-Step, Techno Pop, Golden Fleece, Air Core, TNT
MAGNE-TRACTION:
Replaces “two contact point” ski theory. Conventional skis and snowboards have two contact points. Our Magne-Traction boards have seven! Seven is more than two. With Magne-Traction, when your two outside contact points lose grip, you’ve still got five more to take over. You won’t fall as much. Rides like a skateboard. Control and turn initiation come from under your feet, not a foot and a half to either side of your feet. Better edge hold. Climbs icy pipes! Turns ice into powder! Skate Bananas, Cygnus X1, Dark Series, Travis, Phoenix, TRS MTX, TRS BTX, MC Kink, Box Scratcher, Snowskate, Skunk Apes, Mullets.
A SNOWBOARD IS NOT A SKI.
BANANA TECHNOLOGY WITH MAGNE-TRACTION IS SNOWBOARD GEOMETRY.
BANANA TECHNOLOGY:
Because you are not going skiing. Banana Technology replaces camber with rocker “banana” between your feet. More control, more pop, catchfree. Banana Technology is better everywhere! Skate Bananas, Cygnus X1, Dark Series, Travis, Phoenix (”Blonde” & “LANDO”), TRS, MC Kink, Box Scratcher, Skunk Apes, Mullets, Snowskate.
