Corey Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I'm usually not a hater, but he isn't turning after the initial moment. That's not carving. Still looks pretty cool and I bet it's hard to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Yeah I was conflicted because there is an actual snowboard on his feet. It is weird how he does seem to be going straight between direction changes. And that long slarve around the corner is mind bending. Looks like there is as much hand technique going on here as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobble Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 that carpet looks great compared to Neveplast. tried carving on neveplast on an old board delaminated board at my local hill. not recommended. plus it doesn't feel right... like your on ice. when i tried to set the edge, board immediately slowed down and felt like a rubbing sensation. this was the result from that setting an edge.

BlueB Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I skied on some similar $hit to that Newplast, in South Africa... It's evil stuff. Just like ice, but it hurts a lot more when you fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted June 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Ok so there is some carving happening in that there video. Pretty impressive for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Found at last! Pure Boarding Japan Facebook, June 2015. I just sent a message to find out more about the process used, stay tuned for response. From the Pure Boarding Japan Facebook site: "Since the sole will melt in the heat of friction, it will paste a stainless steel sole. In Hotwax without, we can improve the slip blowing the silicon spray to the sole. Edge angle. sole is -2 to -6. Side is 86." I saw a picture once of some skis that had a metal base versus just strips like this board. I'll try looking for it again but searching for 'skis with metal edge/base' or anything similar turns up generic info about ski construction and edges. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
