Company InformationCapita Green Machine Description 2012OUT ON THE GREEN MACHINE! While other brands may have programs claiming to help you get big, there’s only one company that guarantees you’ll GET HUGE™. That’s what we do here at the Super Corp. We dominate the competition. We devour everything. We eat 5,000 calories a day, bench one day a week, and do not do triceps or shoulder exercises. We don’t need to. We’re buff as hell, and now you can be too. For just a few dollars a day you can possess your very own energy conservation workout innovation known as "The Green Machine." An aggressive exerciser made with recycled and environmentally responsible manufacturing, its paradoxical nature is the secret to its success. This approach makes you look like a bad boy to friends and neighbors, while allowing you to sleep at night because you made a responsible decision for once. This is where looking good meets feeling good! Why You'll Like It: These boards have a minimal impact on the production line, yet yield maximum impact on the mountain. By "maximum impact," we mean they shred like rabid bats screaming from the depths of hell. They float in powder conditions, press easily on boxes, and turn on a hard pack’s dime. They’re a marriage in engineering between a bad ass, true twin freestyle snowboard and a sincere commitment to responsible manufacturing. A Green "Machine" with progressive graphics and top tier performance made for an educated consumer looking for an environmentally conscious product.

StoryWe all know that the world is on the brink of destruction. If we look at ourselves, our family and friends, our neighbors, we can all see that our response isn't on the same level as the threat.The problem is enormous, and most people are acting like deer in headlights. Too stunned, too bewildered to move. And possibly, we are not doing as much as we should because we don't want to give up the luxuries and comfort we have, and the sacrifices we might have to make seem overwhelming. We all know manufacturing snowboards, or manufacturing anything for that matter, is not technically GOOD for the environment. In fact, aside from walking around naked, planting trees, and not consuming anything until you died of starvation, nobody can do anything that is 100% good for the environment. However, appreciating nature is an integral aspect of enjoying snowboarding. In general, people that enjoy the great outdoors want to make responsible decisions and realize that not being able to do 100% good, does not mean that we shouldn't make our best efforts to improve upon the status quo. With The Green Machine, by using the “greenest” materials available, we have done everything we can to produce the least enviromentally harmful snowboard. The research for new processes and materials will continue as we try to lessen our impact. We’re not going to save the world, but we can accept the responsibility to make informed, educated steps to minimize the negative impact we make. Besides, the graphics are sweet. Geronimo + crazy snarling tiger head + fancy gypsy hat? What?! That's almost as cool as Kayne West on a track bike in space. Armament

Capita Green Machine Description 2010Eart Concious Construction for high performance snowboarding. Reverse camber done right! Flat kick technology! Traditional camber option! True Twin! Sidewall Construction! Radial Sidecut! Even Flex! Centered Stance! StoryAt CAPiTA, we like trees. We even hug them from time to time and spent the last year of our lives building a planet earth loving, environmentally conscious snowboard. However, as sincere as our approach was to alternative materials, we didn’t want to make a cliché laden eco-board for the stony bros. You know, the one with typical directional shaping and tired, wood-grain, hippy-style, retro surf-guy graphics on them? Yeah…that, my friends, has been done. Our story required a simplistic deliverance bound by forbidden stimulus: singed patchouli, dread locks, dream catchers, hippy blood, and the existence of unsung martyrs from the nether havens. There was a compulsion to unleash the slithering hate from hell’s crevasses, and then an obligation to produce THE GREEN MACHINE. A destroyer of toxic pollutants and protector of the frigid landscape.

Green Machine FK 2011

This board gets a "5" because of its perfect shape and remarkable build quality. I purchased this board as kind of a "backup plan" after discovering that the nearly identicle and less expensive Indoor Fk's were out of stock. My first observation was the fantastic build quality. Beautiful board that must be seen in real life to realize. If you don't care much for snowboard construction or beauty, then how about the fact that the edges arrived perfectly beveled, polished, and de-tuned beyond the contact points. This is not always the case, even with some of the most expensive products from other manufacturers. The base is fast. Real fast. Capita claims to use a "wax infused" sintered base. This sounds like a gimmick, but yet the base remains fast, and seems impossible to dry out.So how does it ride? Well, let's get one thing clear with regard to the FK profile here. This board has zero camber(flat) between the inserts, early rise (rocker) from the outer inserts to the "contact points", and "flat-kick" tip and tail. I am riding the 158(25.3 waist) with a size 8.5 boot, and am able to get edge to edge very well with this board. The board is loose and playful, but also holds an edge very well. It is difficult to ollie, and does not reward proper carving technique. It is however extremely fun, lively, and playful in the deep stuff, and has become my powder stick of choice. I don't like directional boards or tapered tails, so this true-twin board lands right in my power-alley for deep snow freestyle fantasticness. |
