Contract Jibber Jabber - 2011

Quick
stats: Recommended for park riding.

Contract’s fun shred the Jibber Jabber is a soft flexing, durable and affordable snowboard designed to be riden at your favourite street spot, on your parks funnest jibs and on those hits that build up along the sides of the groomers. It’s an aunashamed jib machine for snowboarders who take more enjoyment from dialing nightime rail sessions and waking up late than spraying up rooster tails in the morning pow.

Manufacturer's Description:

A zero camber board designed for uncompromised jibbing tom-foolery. The Jibber Jabber is flexible, responsive and stable. We know how much you thrash your jibbing board so we’ve strengthened the construction, replaced our standard edges for bolded ones, increased the flex and implemented the zero camber profile.

Rails, boxes, kickers or your dad’s new Ferrari - these boards just can’t wait to scratch them.

SB-RV Review

Sometimes we take Snowboarding too seriously; we all judge people on what they’re wearing and what tricks they’re throwing in the park and sometimes forget that we’re all doing this sport for the same reason, because it’s so much fun. The Contract Jibber Jabber is all about having fun, it isn’t a serious pipe board or a serious kicker board……in all honesty it’s the kind of board that Chris Bradshaw would use to mess around Bear Mountain on.

Zero camber combined with a soft longitudinal and torsional flex means that this board is the perfect board for destroying rails; presses, reverts, pretzels….you name it this board can do it. To add to its amazing ability on rails the jibber jabber is also very poppy at low speeds; so when you’re jumping onto rails, jibbing around the slope and hitting kickers up to 10 metres this board feels pretty effortless.

Obviously there are a few compromises associated with the board being softer than your average park board; it doesn’t hold onto off-centre landings quite as well as some other boards, it isn’t quite as powerful and aggressive when you’re carving and speeding down slopes……and it isn’t great in the off-piste. But who cares because if you buy this board you won’t be gunning it around, you’ll be jibbing off hits on the side of the slope and bonking piste markers.

If you love jibbing around your local hill or indoor slope then seriously consider the Jibber Jabber because it’s a lot of fun and is a very easy snowboard to progress your rail and small kicker skills on. If you’re a relatively inexperienced snowboarder and you’re looking for a board that you can take all over the hill for one holiday a year then I’d probably look at other boards.
