The Good Ride TakeThe Good Ride Take on Rocker/Reverse Camber Boards- At first rocker tech was mainly for the park and powder. Now we are seeing many different riding styles of reverse camber and it's slowly establishing itself outside of the park as a viable solution. There is one recurring theme of adding extra edge hold between the feet that seems to make this new design work. Of course Mervin (Lib-Tech, Gnu & Roxy) lead the charge with the most edge hold and have rocker boards that ride as well or better than cambered boards. Many other companies have a solid understanding of the importance of adding a little extra edge hold between the feet as well. Reverse Camber is not for everyone yet but this year almost every company has a rocker/reverse camber or flat rocker board so don't be a hater and go ride a few. Some have a totally different feel that anything you have ever ridden and others are just a more catch free version of a traditional board. We aren't sure on how reverse camber will play out but we will say that thanks to reverse camber we are riding in new ways and styles that continue to make this sport progress. We thank Mervin and K2 for mixing it up and reintroducing functional rocker to our world! The creativity of the snowboard world has even lead to skiers hopping on our design bandwagon again! The Good Ride Take on Burton Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies. Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf. They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win. The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company. Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry. Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better. Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company. They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry. They also have great clothing. The bottom line is Burton is the 800lb patriarch of our industry that makes good stuff and backs it up with good customer service. The snowboarding world owes soo much to them but at the same time they can be very frustrating when it comes to price and proprietary technology.

Speed and float are your friends, and that’s what S-Rocker is all about. Entry rocker extends from the nose to under your front foot, then transitions to camber between your feet. Compressing the camber causes the entry rocker to naturally lift the nose, thus improving float while maintaining momentum and stability through deep-driving pow turns and variable conditions.   The Burton MALOLO 2010A soul surfer with a heart for freestyle. The Malolo’s shallow taper lets guys like Terje and Nicolas Müller spin off cliffs and kickers, lay it sideways, and blast through stashes with uncompromised flow and precision. Whether it’s an epic dump or late day crud, the NEW S-Rocker™ design equals effortless float that will accelerate you out of even the deepest driving turn.
