2012 Snowboard-Review Test Teaser
Every May the Snowboard-Review.com team head out to the Kaunertal Glacier, in Austria, to ride the following season’s snowboards. This year we managed to ride over forty of next season’s boards and put-together some really informative reviews which we’ll drop on the site in August. Here’s a short, but dramatic, teaser to wet your appetites.
The Snowboard-Review.com board test teaser 2012
This year’s team consisted of the irrepressible Mikee Cee from FBBB, Rich and Tom, and a new team member for this season Ally McMorland who spends his time working alongside Mikee for FBBB and shredding rails at indoor slopes around the UK. Due to the interest in online video reviews we decided to make all of our reviews ‘video reviews’ so although we managed to test fewer boards this season they’ve all been reviewed in short and concise video format. Obviously we’ll be reviewing more boards throughout the season and we’ll be uploading the usual information for as many boards from as many brands as we possibly can. Keep your eyes peeled for these online video reviews, which we plan to drop in August, and further articles about the test.

Yeah we almost got in a little trouble with EMI for that one. I’m sure Mothers of young snowboarders are approving of our choice the world over:)

Hey guys how about some reviews of Jones split board, Tom Burts boards (Winterstick) and more on Silbaerg.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Mark,
Land of the endless winter indeed, I hear Mammoth is going to be open until August! That’s later than any of the European glaciers!
Regarding the boards; yes more Silbaerg snowboard reviews are definitely on the cards, the guys behind the brand are rad and the boards are relatively easy to get hold of. Reviewing split boards is a little out of my field of experience, however I do have a series of videos lined-up documenting the buidling and riding of a split board, from a splitboard virgin’s point of view. For experienced split boarders it probably won’t be much use but for people who are thinking about giving it a go the series should be good. Finally Winterstick, I’d love to give Mr Burt’s boards a thrashing (the first board I ever wanted was a Winterstick back in 96/97) but I can’t see a small company like Winterstick justifying international postage… we’re super keen to get testers involved from the US who can test boards from brands like Winterstick, Venture and Compatriot that don’t have European distribution.
Enjoy the endless winter and thanks for the props.

Hi Rich, thanks for the response. I’d love to be a board test reviewer if that’s a possibility.
Mark.

Hi Rich,
Did you guys manage to try out the Rome Reverb Rocker (couldn’t spot the graphic in the teaser)? I’m interested in hearing what the Agents little brother is like.
Cheers. K
