Imperium Desperado II - 2011

/images/brands/imperium/logo/imperium_logo.gif

Fire up your low-rider and fit your chain link steering wheel, don your gnarliest gang land tattoo and dig out your favourite Morrissey CD; the Desperado II is here and this cholo is equipped for killing features all over the park. A tight radial sidecut means adjusting for setups should be lightening quick and an unheard of 8900 grade base means you won’t have to ruin your loco style by bouncing off table-top knuckles.

Manufacturer's Description:

The follow up to the successful 2005 ‘Desperado’. The strong ‘Vato’ influenced design was once again made by infamous tattoo artist ‘Mister P’. The Desperado II has become a high end freestyle board. Pure twin shape and flex, with extra sidecut for more precision when riding different terrain like a pro! Kevlar stripes on the nose and the tail for extra pop and an 8900 sintered base for high speed. The Desperado II replaces last year’s pro-models and is a true king of snow.

This is without doubt the worst board I have ever ridden.  I may as well have just got an Ed Hardy t-shirt and nailed it to a door from B&Q for all the good it did me.

This board is truly horrible, and it’s rare for a single board to be universally loathed but every person who tried this board came back describing how it was no fun, it felt about 3 feet thick and they couldn’t wait to get on to something that actually rode like a snowboard.

I’m glad that I wasn’t the poor sod who bought it on sight without demoing it, because he just got slated for buying it.
