Testing our first Blank Snowboard
Description:
A few days ago we were on the hill testing our first Blank snowboard. I can’t even tell you how sweet it is to be riding a board that you designed and had specifically made for you, with your company’s name on it. Right on. Before we were even on the mountain we hopped all over our living rooms on them. The molds we created are exactly what we are looking for on the exterior but a little too light. I hate to say it but maybe the board is also a little too flexible to handle all types of riding. So now it ‘s back to the drawing board to figure out what needs to happen to stiffen up the boards a bit but still making it possible to press a rail. We have decided that we need more input from other riders so we hooked up with friends Brandon Bybee to get a few ideas on what we should do. Brandon agrees with us. He loves the quickness and shape but agrees that it’s probably a little too loose.
Our Manifesto
We are on a mission to take snowboarding back from corporate America by making snowboarding affordable without compromising quality. We were there before snowboarding became what it is today: mainstream, unaffordable, and all about the hype. We want to give back to the sport that has given us so many memories, friendships, and great "sick" days by providing the best product at the correct price. We have found that by cutting out all the unnecessary costs (ie: retailers, graphics, and high-paid riders) we can provide the best decks in the industry for 1/2 the price of any comparable board. We are about the sport, not the hype. We are the traditionalists, not the trend.
