Salomon Snowboards Men's Grip Snowboard

Salomon Snowboards Men's Grip Snowboard:
Transworld's 2009 Snowboarder of the Year Wolfgang Nyvelt helped build it--now it's your turn to ride it on or through anything you can find inside or outside the resort boundaries. Salomon's new twin-tip Grip Snowboard has a lively, Aspen-Strong wood core and enough of a rocker shape to rise above and float across deep untracked powder, but the three-stage Equalizer sidecut is pronounced enough to consistently and predictably rip groomed runs and stuff in the park. The Grip features Salmon's new ABC Sandwich construction. It's an eco-friendly design approach that optimizes the Grip's natural pop by using bamboo rods and at least 25% less plastic than conventional snowboard designs. The result is a lighter feel and an improved poppy liveliness that most advanced and expert riders usually can't get enough of on other all-terrain snowboards. To keep unsettling vibrations in check, Salomon applied durable, shock-absorbing Royal Rubber Rails along the stainless steel edges. Royal Rubber Rails have double the width of protection over standard rubber rails, and this keeps the Grip from kinking or delaminating even after seasons of abuse. Because any true definition of "all-terrain" should always include rails, this sort of protection on the Grip is standard equipment. Another nice feature riding characteristic about the Grip is that the vibration-absorbing Royal Rubber Rails keep the moderate-rocker shape from giving you a bunch of extra chatter at high speeds. If you generally stick to the pipe or park and you don't want to give anything up by adding some rocker to your ride, Salomon's Grip is dialed in to your needs--and you'll find yourself enjoying far more mountain terrain this season.
