thanks for the reviews BA. Don't know how some people can keep track of those boards like that, but it is like you say, love of the sport. Couldn't help but notice that most of the k2 reviews were good through great, are you a fan or do they just keep getting better? I've always known them for great ski's. Are they transferring some of their attention towards their boards now as well.

As far as K2 goes, they have been really stepping up to the plate as of late. I demo'd a few of their boards last season and was quite surprised as to how well they rode. Much better than say ten years ago. Last year they were some of the best I tried out.

Because I can have as much fun with my name as I want. Its an inside joke with those that are near and dear to my fart.

K2 has been doing boards since 87 and at one point were the number 1 company. With Jarden financially backing them you get them taking tech from fishing poles, microwaves, space age materials, ride, nitro, etc. etc. on down the line.

K2 is making some rock solid stuff, I love a lot of their boards, and I'm a huge fan of the boots.

Thanks for the intel on the k2's. I've always liked them myself, but was worried about there boards because of all the hype around rome, burton, and ride. That's good news for me and my brother.

Never Summer Revolver sounds sick, anyone been on one?

I'm on next seasons right now.

Thanks for all the board reviews BA!! One quick question, the top sheet on the K2 Believer is rumoured to be soft, so it chips easily and has the potential to delaminate. When you rode the boards, what did you think of its durability?

BurtonAvenger · 08-18-2008, 11:33 PM

Uh how the hell is that even possible, its a rubber topsheet. I'd love to find out where that rumor came from. That topsheet is going to be far more durable than a traditional topsheet for sure.
