Soft Boot Race= SBR =Saber
We took the original SBR and made changes to the dampening, changed the taper, and decambered the nose and tail. We went with internal dampening rather than metal for a variety of reasons and came out very happy with the results. The increased taper releases the turn well without over turning and makes the board more forgiving of a riders balancing movements while gliding flat-based. The decamber is subtle, you don't see a big, floppy nose out front. Again, it offers forgiveness in that the rider can make the adjustments that come with pack-riding without an unintentional edge set, but when it is rolled up on edge the extra nose and tail hook up for excellent mid-turn stabilty.
How does it ride?
Very easy to ride. Very easy to ride stupid fast. It is really nimble edge to edge, turns easily, and feels super confident underfoot. It rails big GS turns like crazy and doesn't get unsettled with mid-turn adjustments. Get on the nose a bit more and it will pop slalom turns too. Comfortable in the air, loves to rail and go fast= Soft Boot Raceboard.
Mission accomplished. -M
