  4. Sinline Plates - overview and review

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I don‘t think that the different Allflex plates have different heights. So the Sinline should be lower.

    I remember that the weights differed quite a lot between the Allflex plates from different production years (because of stability issues). So comparing weights will be somewhat difficult. The Sinline definitely feels lighter, but that is certainly because of other factors (less torsionally rigidity) as well.

    I understand your question about the affiliation. But I arrived at these companies (Oxess and Sinline) AFTER a long process of testing and comparing. Only after I decided that these companies make the best available gear for my riding style, I contacted them and asked for their support. I am not advertising here as that would not help the community. These are my honest opinions. They might change over time, but for now that is the status quo.

    I wrote this review just because some members were asking for it.

    The insert pattern is the same as Allflex.

  5. Sinline Plates - overview and review

    Background info:

    After riding most of the major plate systems myself (Vist, Kessler, Apex, Bomber, SG, Allflex), I came to the conclusion that the advantages outweigh the negatives, so it was plates for me.

    But I never liked the isolating part of the plates (think about the 5mm Bomber plate or the SG plate as extreme examples). I wanted my plate to be low to the board, light weight and it should provide as much board feel as possible.

    Sinline:

    When I first stepped on the original version of the Sinline plate (see picture), I thought I was riding no plate at all and I instantly loved the feeling when riding. This plate looked great, had a solid build, great hinge mechanisms, had a low stack height and a low weight and provided excellent board feel.

    Coming from different Allflex plates, you could feel that you lose a bit of stability, which wasn’t a real issue for me. Still I was curious about the World Cup version of the Sinline plate (see picture). And just as I had imagined, the WC version offered more stability and power, but still kept most of the advantages of the original Sinline plate.

    This year they added the Vision model (see picture). It is positioned between the other two models and does a great job as well. A little less torsional stiffness than the World Cup version allows you to react very fast and have a super fast turn initiation.

    All plates come in different flex variations. I ride all my models in flex M (I am around 75kg).

    I am not a racer, but the plate made a medal in the last Olympics, so I guess it works for racing as well 💪🏼.

    World Cup: old and new version. The new version has a different spring mechanism, different cut and fewer parts for assembling.

    @WinterGold another great video! I am always impressed with how much work you put into your videos. Looks like you spend a lot of time setting up a camera, hiking back up the hill then capturing the 3 second clip you are wanting. Well done! 
     

    Will you be at Moon and Carve this year? I would love to get to meet and ride with you.  

    Thank you! 🙏🏼 It is a lot of work, but I enjoy the challenge 😇

    Moon and Carve is a cool event, but quite far off for me. I won‘t be there unfortunately. 😢

    Another gold performance!  What do you think of the boots?

    Thank you! 💪🏼

    You know, I was really surprised. It is a completely different shell material - thicker, more pliable, more rubber like (if that makes sense) - but it is not much softer than the standard Mountain Slope. It feels different, but with similar performance results. I REALLY liked it! Not enough to switch (I think the MS is still a bit more reactive), but I would have no problem riding that boot!

    Yep, when you film in 50Hz countries like Europe, you should select PAL that allows you select 50/100 etc frame rates, and if in 60Hz ones like US then select NTSC that allows you select 60/120 etc. Then you dont have any issues with artifical lights. If you shoot on sun only then it does not matter.

    Thanks for the info!

    These settings are pretty well hidden in my GoPro 🤪😇 But they are there! 💪🏼
