Jack M Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Cool news, aside from the slam on racing, and shoddy journalism ("today, every snowboard can trace its roots back to this original design") http://snowboarding.transworld.net/news/sims-terry-kidwell-roundtail-1550-reissue/ But... horizontal lamination?

Why? Because it's a reissue, and the original board was horizontally laminated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I guess if you really want to be literal about "reissue", but dang that is not going to be a very durable board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever seen an old Kidwell? IIRC they were pretty thick 'ol chunks of plywood. Barfoots were similar construction and guys used to ride them pretty hard. I'm not sure why anyone would buy this to ride anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmatic Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 But... horizontal lamination? Why? Thats easy to answer: Ride a Hot Blast, which has horizontal lamination too, even if riding gates and You will know why! If anyone don't like things like forward thinking freestyle influence, they rather should stay on metal boards. Photo is from Kaunertal Glacier Austria and the hill/Glacier-wall behind is epic to ride. High speed and only 3 to 5 turns are recommended for to help to pass/jump the wide opened crevasses in autumn by enough airtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 There are some park rats around here that ride skis with horizontal lamination cores. They beat the living snot out of them and they hold up just fine. With the right adhesive the bond will be stronger and more flexible than the wood anyway.
