Hey guys, do you have any review requests from us at aGNARchy for 2013 products? We are attending the annual Test Fest Feb 6-8. We will be testing for snowboards.net the first two demo days and will take the third day for ourselves. If you have any requests and we don't get on them the first two days, we'll try to get on them the third day. Bindings are fair game too. You can even suggest a binding/board combo and we'll see what we can do. Although we probably won't get to review the majority of the requests, we will make it a priority to get on the most suggested setups. We only have a day to ourselves and demoing/changing setups take time.
Here are the brands that are usually there. You don't need to request the more popular models like the Burton Custom and Cartels. Those will be ridden for sure.
Burton/Forum
Ride/K2
Lib Tech/GNU
Flow
Rome
Capita/Union
Flux (not sure if they will show up again, their tent received little attention last year unfortunately)
Marhar
Salomon
Rossignol
Lib: La Nina, Classic Jamie Lynn C3, Lando
GNU: Ass Pickle
Salomon: Man's Board, Villain
Rossignol: One Magtek, Experience
Rome: Mod Rocker, Hammerhead
This seems like a given since it is such a unique board but please demo the Flow Maverick. It'll probably be convenient to demo some NX2's at the same time.
There are a couple of Flow snowboards I'm already highly interested in. We will definitely molest the NX2 Series of bindings. I'm most interested in the NX2 SE.
Thanks! Look forward to it. If a chick in the office is down for it, I won't be picky about review requests haha. I will say the more reviews on chick gear, the better (...unless she would like demo requests, then lmk )
If you want to read reviews on boards from like 6 years ago I think they're still online. I did take a 52 Rome Blue off a 15 foot cliff for shits and giggles.
We never got in touch with Smokin' maybe I can try to holler at them. Just re-opened our dialog with Signal and yes they are busy with SIA this week but we should still be able to line something up soon.
Hmm, the colourways are ugly as shit though (not that that matters, but I find this years grey and red ones absolutely heinous). The Malavita with its big couch like straps looks so more welcoming.
OK just got home from 3 days of pretty much non-stop demos. Got stuck working some "overtime" for the shop filling out their review quotas so we did not have as much time to ride independently. Hopefully there is still a little bit for everyone.
By my preliminary count we should have close to 30 snowboards to review from Mervin, Rome, Burton, Forum, Arbor, K2, Rossi, Salomon, Lobster, Capita and Marhar.
We'll weigh in on a few bindings, too like the new Flux, the Burton Genesis, Switchback (I rode these no-back), as well as a few more from Forum, Ride, Flux, Rome and Burton.
Funny to see this on a snowboard. I had a few of the Hosoi hammerhead skates way back when. Any more reviews coming soon? Specifically did you guys get a chance to ride the Classic Jamie Lynn C3? Curious to hear about the new C3 shape.
Leo rode the 2012 magtek not sure if it changed. he could probably give you some insight on it though.
