You guys tired of 2013 yet? Trade show season is upon us, and yup, that means it is time for the 2014 preview thread. This does seem like it keeps getting earlier each year but I have to admit, I am always stoked to see the new gear, no matter when it shows up.

This will come in pieces to keep it manageable.

Lots of new stuff from Flow. The Whole NX2 line is cored out and lighter and yes, the toe strap (on the toe strap models) has been angled for an even wider boot fit range. The Fuse is a whole new line that offers active strap technology with a more flexible base and at a moderately lower price. There are two backless bindings (named Freeballers - yeahhhh!) as well as two new women's Nasty models. Also ABT gets expanded in 2014 with new zones being added underfoot for an ultra-smooth ride.















Tons of new stuff and upgrades this season fro the Flow camp. Some very cool new products and some great tweaks to some existing ones. I will start up a thread in the Bindings forum for all the new binding info but here is a taste.

I vote someone starts a 2014 NS thread so we dont have to sift through 19 pages of of mostly pointless discussion on how the graphics suck.

Leave this thread for 2014 stuff and if a brand starts getting talked about too much, it gets its own thread.

Unless its arguments about carbon fiber as that is probably more relevant to a 2014 product preview thread than the product itself, obviously.

i snowboard, but this week has been brutal on the area...

first there was 2 days of rain, followed by 70 degree weather, followed by another 2 days of rain. By the time it's cold enough for them to blow snow again, they will be starting fresh like it's the first day of the year.

oh well, i'm headed to snowshoe WV for a couple of days next weekend. Maybe i'll finally be able to ride again there. Until then, it's the forum and my gear fetish...

There ya go, now you can get back to egghead engineer talk about carbon fiber....:dunno:

Fuck! do any of you guys actually snowboard or do you just sit and quibble over tech details?.....:giggle:
Carbon was all yesterday and it was -6 and the snow was velcro. I had nothing better to do.
Also if we dont quibble about tech detais what else are we going to start e-riots over?

Why are companies using straight lines in the board profile like this to create the camber rather than curves? Does it do what K2's description says and make it ride like a flat board with increased pressure at the tip and tail? Ride's camber seems like quite a mellow version of this from looking at my Bezerker.
