$349 Intermediate to Expert Freestyle Discontinued 2011 The non rockered and origional va va voom but the rocker is much more fun for most. The Camber does have more pop but that is about it.
The Good Ride Take on K2 K2 is a big company that makes a lot of ski and snowboard gear. So many companies are really proud of their gear and let sites like the Good Ride borrow it for a few weeks. K2 doesn’t and is only about the on-snow demo so we have to put in extra effort to get a hold of K2 gear. K2 chose Flat Camber and variations of flat/rocker for their rides in the post camber revolution. Their flat camber has a mixed take but their flat/rocker shapes (especially all terrain) seem to be some of the best out there and are well liked. When it comes to Bindings K2 spends a lot of time working on the quick release side of things. We at the Good Ride aren’t big fans of the quick release but acknowledge that many do like this tech. To us we’d rather see them work on improved turn initiation, comfort and better board flex under foot but many don’t agree with our take. Their boots are well made, long lasting and comfortable but many don’t have the traditional upper and lower BOA system that most companies offer. Instead most have an inner and outer lacing system’s which some like but we’d rather see upper and lower autonomy instead of two lacing systems focusing on the same 2 regions. Their customer support is very good but there is no phone # on their site so you must contact them via email.
A new level of twin tip freestyle fun designed specifically for the ladies.
Developed by Leanne Pelosi and the K2 Alliance™, the VaVaVoom is the ultimate women’s jib board. The Jib Tip design integrates a longer effective edge with a shorter nose and tail, allowing you to drop down 5cm in board size without losing the stability of a longer board. The Rhythm Core with Carbon Matrix reduces swing weight for effortless spinning, perfect pop and smooth flex. Perfecting those jibs and butters is now easier than ever!
