They replaced titanal with different metal nickel/chrome alloy that they claims the most springy metal materials. Also, same as Endeavor 'hammerhead', they placed the alloy in two separate beams instead of whole sheet. If they dialed in with right flex, it could be the one that deliver all the advantage of titanal layers with pops/liveness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out ALLOY D.O. Looks like a cool board, where is it from? It has not made its way into the Chinese Market. the flex ratings tho, completely arbitrary, every manufacturer has their own rating and it's all different lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveo Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'll definitely do that. Our next trip is planned for next year unfortunately, although she is going in April for 3 weeks. I just did 5 weeks in Japan solo so can't get any more time off =/ I'll be sure to bring my softboot carving board down (up) when I go, though. Provided it is in winter that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already got contacted by the guy and should be able to test the D.O. by end of this season. If not late, I will ask him if I can pass the demo to you also. Now, more and ever, I wish I live in CO. FYI, the blogger (Gatsby) is the builder & co-founder of Alloy, ex-pro rider, and board reviewer for 'BoardKorea', biggest snowboard retailer in Korea. He is a family member of the D.H. Metal company that produced Alloy's 'Chronic Booster', the inserted Nickel/Chrome alloy metal. I feel good about Alloy D.O by looking at the spec. As I reviewed Endeavor early this season, I confirmed that there are many new features that allow non-alpine board to carve like alpine boards. Most stand out features from Endeavor were seamless edges and partial titanal layer. Although it was little too softer for my riding, the soft flex allowed me to play around easily, which is good thing. I suspect this Alloy D.O. will ride much like an alpine snowboard. hmm.. I will save my words until I ride it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that its all starting with what seems to be very good communication!!! That's more than most!! YOU need to get on and demo it so we at least have some Idea what its all about. My things im looking for is the amount of camber! not necessarily a good thing since I don't see any type of rocker in the nose to ease initiation. Flex im not a fan of real stiff boards, im finding my stuff is going to the softer side of things.. 165 maybe interesting...unless it doesn't turn worth..Sh@%#T. Get the Report out!! oh and take some real photos!!! I hate looking at cartoons! The R-One is promising too!!! Now if someone can set up Gray and Moss we be in business!!

That said, the Alloy line is too small for me (195cm/113kg/29MP). Good luck! Edited March 1, 2018 by lonbordin 6'4.75" & 248 #s for the metrically challenged.

Poloturbo Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Cool where in NE are you for demos? Looks promising but also like Lonbordin it would need for me to run very high angles not to boot out with a 25.8 waist even on a 165cm. Also 29MP. But only 95kg lol. The sidecut radius is special. Would love to try it. Will have in my hands the One B-One shortly and try it. Lighthest board around.

Poloturbo Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Lol no I leave the R-one to you and also B.O. ;) The B-one is for my friend but I try all his boards and vice versa. He tried the JJA and had to own this one. A bit narrow for me but not for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
