wooow, that was fast!!

thanks u so much!!

so the ET got a little softer.

when do we get the first pictures of the new boards?

i just know the few pics from the bataleon stand. but i'd loooove to see the new ET and artist edition closely. especially the base graphics.

pumped for 2012 models though!

I'm so glad to see that they are finally making smaller boards across the entire line. Last couple years, the only thing they had that would fit me were smaller park sticks, now I can finally get an all-mountain TBT board.

as far as the new tbt tweaks, who's designing them? The guy (jorgen karlsen) who researched the original base design is a biophysics engineer...just wondering if those changing TBT (which was already pretty damned good, imo) are engineers or just riders. Is jorgen still involved with the company?

How would you compare the shape of the 10/11 ET Artist Edition (The antistrot one not the Parra from 09/10) to the new 11/12 shape. Same thing, I know the ET AT this year had the blunted nose for the first time... about to pick one up..

Great question. I'm not opposed to change at all but TBT seemed to already work as advertised with no discernible compromise to my riding style or carving ability. They've extended the TBT further and it definitely has me curious.

What's the story with the Undisputed for next year, I've been looking at that and TBT a lot recently. I love stiff, fast boards for railing down the hill & catching an edge can be brutal, so TBT has my attention.
