mustacheвІ camber).ВP Whatever type of camber your board has will make certain things easier and other things more difficult.ВP Much in the same way the shape, weight, and flex of your board will.ВP Make sure you research a few board which seem to compliment your riding style best, try them out, and then make a decision based on how you like them on the snow.
When itвІ s all said and done, it doesnвІ t really matter whether your board is regular camber, reverse camber, flat-to-reverse, or the new reverse-regular-reverse cambers (or as I like to call them вІ
Last but not least, and the thing I have had the most problems with while riding reversed camber boardsвІV one footing.ВP Linking turns while one footing is the biggest change for me, and most people I have talked to, when switching from a regular camber board to a reverse camber one.ВP When you think about it, one footing is such a small part of snowboarding for most people, so why should you care?ВP Well you probably shouldnвІ t.ВP If you like the way your board rides when you have both feet in, and you can get off the lift without stopping the chair or having people stare at you then you are doing just fine.
As with anything else pros come with cons.ВP With the tip and tail raised you wonвІ t be able to load up either end as much when performing ollies and nollies.ВP However it will load easier and give your more of a skateboard ollie feel.ВP Another pro/con the banana shape presents is its ability to float in powder.ВP The raised nose will allow you to ride higher in powder and with more of a natural forward stance.ВP At the same time that raised tip and tail will make your board a lot less stable when traveling a higher speeds.ВP Furthermore, with the main contact points towards the center of the board it will be more difficult to do carve turns.
looseвІ feel people talk about.ВP The pre-flexed shape of the board also helps make it easier to press the board while jibbing.ВP With the tip and tail already turned up, it is practically effortless to lay down a solid nose or tail press.
What exactly does that banana (reverse camber) do for you?ВP Reverse camber emphasizes the contact points between your feet, rather than outside your feet on a traditional cambered board.ВP Having the main contact points of your board closer to the center of the board allows you to easily initiate turns.ВP This is what makes it easier for people to ride switch, also what gives it that вІ
From mountain-tops all over the world people are shouting the praises of banana technology boards with magne-traction from the good people at Mervin.ВP They give you more board control and help you ride better switch.ВP The way the board is shaped it is easy to press on rails and boxes, and even easier to butter all over the mountain.ВP One time, my banana board even made me French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon.ВP Okay so the last one I made up.ВP Obviously your banana wonвІ t make you breakfast, but it will do all that other stuffвІV right?ВP Sort ofвІV
People are going bananas (cringe) for boards with banana technology.ВP A few days ago I was in a lift line at my local mountain.ВP When I was close to the front of the line I noticed that every single person if front of me had a Lib Tech board with banana technology.ВP Two weeks later, two of my friends purchased new Gnu boards with banana technology.
