Head Team i - 2011
Last year Tom our head of testing raved about the Head Team i. For him it was the freestyle snowboard that could do it all. Pipe, piste, powder, infact anything that begins with a P is rideable on the Head Team. The biggest advantage of the Team is that it combines Head’s high-tech kinetic energy recycling Intellifibres with conventional materials like Carbon, Kevlar and Honeycomb inserts. You can enjoy all of the benefits of Head’s Intelligence System with the knowledge that you’ve got some serious reinforcement backing it up for punch out of carves and more pop than Simon Cowell’s back catalogue.

Hi! I have a question about this board…how is it in powder?i’m 1.90 m and i weight 75 kg…i’m thinking to buy a 158 that is midwide(i think is wide because have a 26 cm as waist width)

Hi! I saw this board, and i think it’s great for waht I looking for but i have two question:it’s also good for some little pow? and another more important thing: it have the $D system by Head, but is there a way to mount flow or apo (that I allready have)bindings?
Thank u. Bye

Hello lucas, I don’t really know what you mean regarding the ‘$D’ system. but as you talked about bindings, I had a closer look at the inserts and they seem to be pretty standard. So I don’t think there will be a problem with bindings from other brands; or maybe I’m just missing something? Explain what you mean by $D, maybe we can help you some more then..

Looks like a typo to me - he probably meant 3D or 4D…
on November 01, 2010 at 11:09 AM
hey guys, esxcuse me i digited wrong, i meant 4D system.
Probably is the standard way but on the site they tell that only their bindings are compatible.
I read this here at question number 7: http://www.ridehead.com/faq.php?region=it

Well yeah, on that page it says that 4D is the common system for bindings. I guess 3D is just an older tech I don’t even know about.. buddy of mine bought last season’s Team and he combined it with a K2 Auto, everything worked fine!
on November 01, 2010 at 11:57 AM
you don’t know what a good news you gave me man!
So it’s 100% compatible with flow or apo bindings too.
If I can, because your friend has one, how does he feel it?good? to do quite everything could be right?
And for me that I’m tall 1.90 m and i weight 75-80 kg and i have a 44-45 eu foot size. is better the 161 o 158 size of the board??
on November 01, 2010 at 12:04 PM
I’m sorry, I won’t give you any 100% advice here but as I said, with last years deck, everything worked fine. Just drop the Head support an email to be 100% sure or visit a local shop. The Team feels like it has a really nice flex pattern for doing it all, a lot softer than my Amplid Paradigma which I would consider a stiffer allmountain ride. So the Head will surely feel great freestyling! I’d definitely go with the 161W. I am 180 and close to 70kg and I am riding a stiffer deck with 159 length.
Hope this helped a little, cheers Tobi

i’ve been looking at this board and i really like it. i’m looking for something to help me progress in the pipe, but i still want something that can handle the pow. i’ve been looking at the burton TWC pro and the TWC standard, the rockered version, anyone have an idea of what board i should get? i’m about 5’ 8” and i’m advanced in most aspects of snowboarding, except for pipe which is where i want to improve this season.
