A better look at the Fastplant from K2
BambooyahSkate inspired Indestructibility BAMBOOYAH® expands out into more models in this it’s second year. We now offer original Bambooyah cores and the all new Bambooyah Blended cores. Created for models that could benefit from just a little bit of Bambooyah’s incredible strength. A little it of Bambooyah goes a long way. ![]() Ollie BarPop comes pre-loaded The Ollie bar is a totally new approach to adding pop to a snowboard. Built in place in a pre-loaded, cambered shape it solves the concern that rocker board don’t have the pop camber board have. Made with a secret layup of carbon, Kevlar and urethane layers, the ollie bar is positioned in the center of the board between the binding inserts. Strong ollies and pressing power doesn’t come from the tail alone. The backbone center section is actually more critical for smooth even pressure. You gotta try it to believe the pop. ![]() Jib RockerPARK & RAIL AUTHORITY Jib Rocker is a versatile twin Rocker built to dominate the park. Just enough rise in the tip and tail to create a loose, buttery feel on all types of terrain. Contact points stay well off the snow until engaged – eliminating edge hook while maintaining fun pop. ![]() HybritaperLightweight & Strong Hybritaper takes our Hybritech Construction, and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. We blend the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing material where you don’t need it. ![]() Carbon WebConnect to the web Always improving the feel and energy return of our boards, the R+D group releases the CARBON WEB rider input/output system. Offered in two levels of sensitivity. Resulting in a more connected feedback loop from terrain to rider. ![]() Triaxial GlassA glass laminate with diagonal layers that stiffens the board torsionally. Giving you improved edge hold and increased stability for those off-axis landings 4000 Sintered• Fastest natural base material available • Exceptionally Durable • Absorbs deeper & retains wax longer WH4 CoreSuper-light honeykomb Core Technology The WH4 Core pulls every trick from our bag of core tech.

ICG 20Hyper ProgressiveAn infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. The result is a super predictable feel that never hooks. Responsive at high speeds and smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park.

I think the goodride review was fair. I would have been more critical. The Fastplant is good board but a 5 star rating? That's a bit ridiculous. I can't take any reviewer seriously who thinks this board is the best park board out there. I suggest they get out and ride more boards.

Something against K2?

Have to agree with the other reviewer. Snowboard-reviews called this the poppiest board they've tried. Secondly, they've labelled it an excellent choice for beginners, experts, and everyone in between. I have to agree with them on both fronts, though I admittedly haven't tried enough boards to be a good judge on the first point.I find it very strange that people can have such varying experience on a board, and wonder like the other reviewer, if you guys even rode the board. |

Have to be honest. Have you guys ridden this board? Everyone loves the board but this place. I am wondering why, and second, based on the comments about K2 and difficulty getting equipment, did you guys just skip this one?Reason being, I have ridden it, it's very stable at speed, one of the poppiest boards of last year, and an overall extremely fun board. I am curious to hear more about why you didn't like it. |
