Winter 2010/11 season is almost over. One of our riders and friends from Flying Dog production team spent most of the winter in the Swiss Alps, and here gives their, described in detail, knowledge of MEATFLY BANANA SNOWBOARDS. Comments and photos sent from Petr "The Wrench" Haas and Honza "Clover" Šoupal! :-)

All this winter season we are in our Boarding House Meatfly Lenzerheide in the Swiss Alps Test Center ran a new snowboard. Each visitor had a chance to test their newly developed bananas and compare the feeling of riding on it than what is used. Possibilities of the local terrain offers all the difficulty of freeriding, not in vain there is titled the local Little Alaska.
Snow Park is the largest in Europe and one of six lanes kikrů manage to 4-20 m, 10 boxes, rails and many other atypical and very entertaining obstacles. Trails to work deserted for 180 km perfectly cleaned and incredibly broad highways and you could carving and smashing all day and just manage to get to know more than one third the area, still fresh in the afternoon planes Manchester.

Originally we planned to test just bananas and capitalize on knowledge in the development and special skills for models for next season. Finally we all returned boards and rode them all the time because these properties allow for the perfect banana use in all types of terrain. The Freeride is much more comfortable ride as much as you do not strain your back leg, cuts through the great banana powder and feel like the surfboard, just pit. The park is the main advantage of a much greater range of flex boards, very simple to use, the mega-pop edge of the barrier and in particular the reduction hiting boundary edge as the reflections, as well as the impact of small and large jumps. Banana riding forgives minor bugs and inaccuracies, where the classical deflection camber potahal long ago and pulled you down. These findings are also confirmed by the vast majority of our visitors who tried bananas.

Finally, we generally agreed that these boards provide a comprehensive and through the positive qualities. Even at maximum effort to maintain objectivity, we could not find any negative features or disadvantage. Hi Glory Tour, riders board and survived an avalanche of 200 meters, fall into cracks, and overflight nedolety kikrů big, hitting a tree, several varieties of Mr - Eagle, brutal sacking of the local club Muzic, and countless other situations, ugh ...

On our Boarding House can come to riding completely anyone, or to test another planned for next year's news. www.snowcamp.cz

UNIVERSE IN DANGER – freestyle - universal - twin wide 162

NEO TOKIO COLLECTION  - TRIANGLE freestyle twin 158

Technical description:

		WOOD CORE Fine wood core from tip to tail.				CARBON REINFORCEMENTS Liner carbon beam reinforcements.
		TRIAXIAL LAMINATED 3 way fibergless.				SIDE WALL ABS sidewall construction.
		SINTRED BASE Sintred base let you ride faster. High wax absobbtion and high scratch resistance.

Bananscurved wooden lightweight core tip to tail with Triax fiberglass provide a total freestyle luxury properties. Woven carbon - armidet fibers along the still increasing overall strength and above all a great pop to ollie. Twins middle deliberately lightweight design allows for better control of the independent front and rear legs, which makes it very easy overcoming obstacles in the park need to switch. This helps all things banana shape, he eased the tip and tail boards, and thanks to the edge bites less and later as a barrier, so when desisting rotation. Stainless steel edges embedded deep into the body core to the jibbing not budge. Sintred Base Nano8 extra polished base absorbs wax repels water and goes and goes.
Enjoy the powder on the slopes even where banana works much easier. With softer overall flex extending main course mainly in the park, jumps, street, Jibb and half pipe. The banana is fun, flexible, sžijete to eat very quickly and causes a kind of pleasure and joy of the ride.

 
WOOD CORE high-quality wood core from tip to tail.
CARBON longitudinal reinforcement carbon reinforcement.

Triaxial LAMINATION
Sidewall CONSTRUCTION ABS sidewall construction.

It is better banana, or a classic deflection camber?

We can generally say that boards are more efficient with the camber, as far as driveability because Edge has a greater push into the snow in cutting arc, so you can afford high speed with full stability even on uneven terrain. Certainly, this camber construction will remain at a bicycle race or boardcrosových specials. But it is these properties become a disadvantage in the freestyle, when you need to relieve the pressure edge into the snow at the tip and tail above the Jibb and desisting indentation and rotation, thus helping the banana, thus lowering the threshold biting edges and all this causes is difficult to describe accurately, but certainly very pleasant feeling of riding around.

If there is a better standard camber deflection, or the current trend in snowboarding rocker banana shape then you should consider each individual himself by what he wants to do more snowboarding.

The technologies used in these boards:

BASE - Base Sintred nano 8

The running surface for maximum water repellency. We used the latest technologies applied in the example in the aerospace industry. Porous surface with a maximum molecular density easily absorbs wax to keep it together much longer than the standard base, and because the snow goes and goes. The overall structure of the base is very solid and hard, there is no need to grind it so often, so you keep it in good condition for several years.

Edges -

made of stainless Swedish stainless steel, sharp as a samurai sword, intersect without any problems and icy terrain. With a deep recess in the structure or board edges nevyrvete not break when accidentally crossing the hidden rocks under the snow or in jibbing often after unfair barriers. The ends of the edges are firmly locked into each other in the foot area, so there is no difference in service on the effective edge.

Wooden core - 

In all the boards we use wood core tip to tail from tip to tail. The special layers called sidewall cores, which provides the purest driving behavior, you can expect maximum performance, both while driving and even when desisting jumps. The cores are made of very strong and flexible poplar wood, which is also very light.

Twin structures -

Technically it is a symmetrical core, which allows travel on both sides with the exact same characteristics. Overall, softer flex is gradually spread to the entire length of the plank and it gives a playful and responsive. Make the most of this construction in the park and riding a funky different sexual plays.

Fiberglass - Triaxial fiberglass - 

3 directions here fiberglass stretched over the surface of the core firm the overall flexibility of the longitudinal axis of the snowboard and also increase the torso / twisting / in pitch. It provides great features plank while driving on the edge, when passing through the various inequalities laminate absorbs vibrations. It also provides the necessary strength to desisting small and large jumps.

Carbon - fiber armidet

These fibers are characterized by an incredible amount of strength and elasticity in tension. Effectively decompose the applied force between the binding and the snow evenly across the board. We integrate the 2 cm from the edge along the boards. This can be done even more pop / reflection / by Ollie, better stability for the impact of jumps. Also, reinforce the construction of the bindings on the edge of the boards often break so this solution extends the life of the board for several years. The fibers have a very positive influence on ride along the edge. A balanced combination of fiberglass absorb vibration perfectly. These materials are very light.
