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'll be posting updates from SIA for the next three days so check facebook.com/angrysnowboarder twitter @angrysnowboard and instagram @angrysnowboarder.
Even though I just bought an avalung pack I cant wait for Black Diamond to release their intergrated ABS and Avalung pack. Maybe one day we'll just have jet packs to blast us out of the avy.
Anyone able to get more info on the Arbor Whiskey? It looks like a mix between the Westmark/Coda but it doesn't show up on the boardmapping in the last page of the catalog posted, specifically where it sits in the price scale.
What the hell. The coda only comes in a 156 now? That was my favorite board so I was thinking of picking up another. I guess I'll have to grab this years.
Or the Element Rx or the new Whiskey whenever info for it comes out.
I really liked the pop on the Coda (unusual considering it's full rocker).
^^This. While he is THE Terje, in pop snowboard culture he's irrelevant. And he's fine with it. All he wants to do is go ride pow with Jones and be a badass. Unfortunatley the youth in our sport our criminally uneducated on the OG's of our sport, a Terje pro model doesnt make sense in this market. And I think Terje's name is indeed on the new Landlord somewhere.
Burton SG is looking good next year. Stoked. I'm liking the Axis, Landing, and Haze Varsity jackets a lot. Of course their AK line looks solid as always.
Where's the Joystick?
The new ratchet and ladder system looks funky... interesting... so is that new hammock strap... wonder if I can buy that new system and slap it on my existing Genesis bindings.
I'm actually really missing the Cobra. I would even like the normal Cobra graphic on there somewhere. Not so much a huge in your face sized graphic. Wouldn't be a bad idea to use it as a badge somewhere on there. Kinda like when the last year's Heritage had the Polar Bear on the bottom.
Any info on how it's slotted in the line up? From my cursory review it looks to be a budget board with the Mission I core?
