Shred Gruumer Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Heading out of town,, don't want to miss it,, anyone got the times I should Tivo? ps.. Board issues: NBC Anderson blamed part of his struggles at the 2002 Olympics on his snowboard and shortly after the Games he left popular manufacturer, Burton. In January 2005 he debuted a new board developed by Coiler Performance Alpine Snowboards, a Toronto-based company run by the Canadian's friend and former rider, Bruce Varsava. Anderson's new board is made of 80 percent metal (most boards are composed of wood and fiberglass), a material that is only available in Austria. "Regular snowboards chatter on ice because they're rigid. They can't hold an edge. Metal quiets everything down. It sticks to the ice," Anderson said. Right on Bruce!!

philfell Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Remember most reporters don't even know what the difference between a freestyle board and a race board is, so they can't be expected to get the construction right.
