Here’s a little gem from our friends at Amplid. Amplid has put together a three part series about ski and snowboard design and RnD. In the first episode Peter Bauer and Anian Thrainer the brains behind the brand introduce themselves and then run through the basics of ski and snowboard geometry. In the second episode due for release next Monday the two co-founders will go into more details about how they conduct RnD. For snowboard geeks and newbies alike it’s a pretty interesting watch.

For some unknown reason women love Christmas shopping and men loathe it. For me, there is nothing worse than being dragged around a department store, book shop, jewellers and endless clothing stores to find the perfect gift only to find that within three weeks the gift that took blood, sweat and tears to find has been returned for credit or lost in the attic/local charity shop never to be seen again.  This year to help SB-RV readers find the perfect gift for their snowboard addicted loved ones we’ve created a list of 10 items with varying price tags that will have them jumping for joy instead of checking the wrapping for a receipt.

Bonkers Boards is SB-RV’s salute to the mad scientists behind some of snowboarding’s most radical designs. To launch this feature we’ve chosen the Unity Whale, a powder hungry beast with a nose that would make Gerard Depardieu’s look proportionate and a cheeky little swallow tail to make it easier to prop up outside your post shred watering hole. We asked Unity owner Pete Wurster to give us the lowdown on one of the 2011/12 season’s craziest shapes.

There she blows... The Whale by Uniity be a mighty beast so she is!

Last February I finally got a date in the diary to go riding with Peter Bauer of Amplid Snowboards. For those of you who don’t know of Peter, he’s a certified snowboard legend. From World Slalom Champion to AK veteran Peter has ridden it all; he’s even had a pro model at Burton, the PJ, which he shared with French carving extraordinaire Jean Nerva around 1990.
