Review: 09-10 Capita Horrorscope FK 155w
It took me a while to finally get around to this review, but I figured it's about time. As I get older, I don't necessarily play in the park as much, as I find myself preferring to stay up higher on the mountain for big turns. Capita, is one of my favorite companies for snowboards. Rider owned and operated, I've always been a fan of the Black Death, and wanted to definitely get my hands on the 155w Horrorscope, when I found out it was coming out. 
Thoughts: The “NEW” Never Summer Flat Spot
Anytime something is marked as NEW we humans tend to get excited. The whole concept of something we've not seen or used before peaks our interests. While at times things may appear new, we find they aren't necessarily new, but are marketed as such. For example "New Stain Fighting Power!" While stain fighting power has been around for quite some time in soaps, people still love to see the NEW technology, or innovation happening. In the snowboard world relating to "NEW" there has been ongoing debate on other snowboard review sites regarding the "new" flat spot tech Never Summer is showing in their 2010/2011 catalog. I've seen feedback that the new tech is "hooky", or "catchy", and makes riding the 2010/2011 boards "less fun." Having spent a considerable amount of time on the 2010 Never Summer Revolver, I knew that the 2011 rode quite similar. I decided to actually research the flat spot tech, because I recall my 2010 Revolver having the same flat spot, advertised on the 2011 boards.
Review: 2010 Flow NXT FSE XL
I tend to get my fair share of Flow bindings, and everyone knows I'm a pretty big fan of Flow. I finally got my hands on the NXT-FSE series. I argued with myself on reviewing or riding this binding, because honestly my first impression of the new ratchet system wasn't necessarily positive. I decided I'd give these a try after I found out the SE series will continue on into the 2011 lineup. I rode these bindings on a few boards including the 2010 Never Summer Revolver-R, 2011 Raptor X, 2010 Lib Skunk Ape, and a few others. 
I rode these with size 12 Flow "The One" boots as well as size 13 32 Lashed boots.
Review: 10-11 Never Summer Raptor X
I recently had the pleasure of getting my hands on the new 10-11 Never Summer Raptor X. The Raptor X replaces the Titan TX (or Titan) this year with a few changes in place. I took this board out multiple times, with both Union Force bindings, and the Flow NXT FSE bindings, and size 12 Flow "The One" boots. I know a lot of people are curious about this board, so let's dig into it.
Quick Update:
Playing with the formatting and general site design. Just ignore any odd looking, or random formatting issues for now. Appreciate it!
Thoughts: Big Guys and Board Sizing..
While this site isn't a high volume site, nor am I trying to make this site mainstream, I do have many people who often still ask me various questions. Board sizing is a question that comes up more often than not. What size board should I get? Can I ride a smaller size board? This board has weight recommendations, what does that mean? I get questions a long these lines quite often, and while there is no "sure fire" answer, I'll speak to some of these from my experience.

Review: 09-10 LIB Tech Skunk Ape
I've held out on this review for quite some time, because I wanted to get the right amount of riding, in the proper conditions for this board. I finally feel I can put up a review worthy of this beast without feeling like I neglected to really experience the board. The Skunk Ape can almost be considered the defacto go to board for big footed riders and bigger guys. Lib makes this beast in sizes up to 190cm although hard to find at that length, still impressive! Let's dig into this beast shall we?
Review Format Changes..
Hey everyone, sorry I've been slacking on posts lately, I've been traveling quite a bit. I've decided to make a few changes in the formatting of reviews, specifically the board reviews. I'll still continue to write-up my thoughts on the board, but also will be adding the stats, and summary thoughts at the bottom of the reviews from here on out. This will include flex pattern thoughts, stiffness thoughts, edge hold etc, as well as sizing, stance setup etc. Hopefully this will help provide more information on the boards for those of you out there looking at wider boards. On that note, stay tuned, I have in my hands the 10-11 Never Summer Raptor X, and will be taking it out for a spin here in a day or so. Super stoked to get on this board!
Local: The Colorado Season Continues..
While most of the major resorts are closed or closing soon here in Colorado, we always have a riding season deep into the summer. Whether it's at A-Basin which stays open until at least June, or finding snow on any of the numerous ranges we have here in Colorado, there's always a place to ride.
