Its pretty damn amazing I'll say that much. If you want to get it do it, its probably the most dialed in rockered board I've been on yet.

I thought the same thing but on the K2 Website in the "Review this Board" section at the bottom, a couple of people have commented on its durability.

I just read through that and it sounds like either they think getting the typical knicks in the side of the topsheet is a delam, or that if you break the core and it peels its a delam. I know a lot of guys that ride this board that are on the K2 flow team and they if anyone would be breaking these religiously and the topsheets look fine.

loved your www rocker review. guess i'm retarted, or i just love to press so hard it looks funny.

anyway, wondering if you got a chance to ride any capita boards, from what i can tell the guys seem legit but i've never really heard a review. partically curious about the stairmaster, stairmaster extreme, scaremaster, or horoscope.

K2 autos, i want to know if they work for the fit i like. i like the idea and build of k2 autos, but i like my toe straps tight and my ankle straps between snug and loose, just enough to prevent heel lift. so, can i get autos to work?

and your never summer rocker review is making me angry, i cant pro-form NS, but you're making me want one.

The scaremaster is just a clone of the stairmaster and the stairmaster extreme has a higher end base and a different carbon array. I don't think anyone other than TJ Schnieder or their team riders has been on the Horrorscope yet.

Capita in my opinion is just another company with an artsy flair and thats about it. The stairmaster for its price is on the stiffer side which makes it slightly better for cruising around the mountain. I put it on the same page as the Hatchet from Atomic.

From reading how the Horrorscope is constructed its going to be just like the WWW, Artifact 1985, Jib stick or whatever Stepchild is calling it, Signal Park series. This will be the year of shitty rocker because so many companies rushed to make it to compete with the big boys. The only ones that I think might be interesting that I've seen are Nitro and Atomics.

Nivek do you work for a shop or are you an Instructor?

HA, well I work at zumiez. but before you judge me on that, I really do know my stuff. when I'm not running, longboarding, biking, working, snowboarding, or frolfing, I'm on the internet looking for any and all info on snowboarding.

I here what you're saying about all the rocker boards out with them being rushed and all. the reason I was wondering about capita is not for the indy artsie nonsense of the company, to be honest its TJ. the dude has such a good attitude and stoke for snowboarding. and when you email the guy, he'll email you back the next day, I dont know of any other Pro that would do that. I like to support companies with that kind of feel. sometimes even if it means a small sacrifice in performance.

I would love to be an instructer, but I have no group teaching abilities, I can teach someone who cant stand up to carve in on day, but I have to give them my complete attention.

and in one of the snowboard realms (TJ's video blog on youtube) he shows you a clip of a capita guy testing out the horoscope. when i emailed him he gave me some info, it is the K2 rocker, and that it's going to be a late release board ($350). so I'm thinking that either capita decided later than most to make a reverse camber, or they decided to take their time to make a decent board, I'm hoping its the latter.

P.S. I'm glad you seem to like K2, cause I've always thought they made good stuff.

^ You're 20 you have to start somewhere not everyone starts out in a glorious shop. As there's some instructors on this board that still actually value me as a person I won't go into my tyraid about how I feel about them as a whole, yes that means you snowolfie!

If capita took its time to create a late release it wouldn't have been just like K2's. K2 was pretty friendly with letting people see how things were done and thats cool I respect them more for that. But any company that jumped on the bandwagon to have rocker seems to have copied that design because it was the most easily acessible. It has its pro's and con's for sure. I think the reason its a late release is because of how many other companies are being produced in that factory before them.

If you want to check out the horrorscope more check out this Flour City Distribution its one of the C3 reps he put up a catalog pic of it.

Nivek

HA, thats actually the pic that TJ sent me
