Snow was mostly packed pow and temperatures ranged from 25-40 deg F. My first skiboarding trip (4.5 days) took place down south at Los Tres Valles (El Colorado-Farellones/Valle Nevado/La Parva) in Chile (review to follow) from 25-29 July. I am a novice snowboarder, haven’t skied in 11 years, very comfortable on inline skates (skate w/my wife for exercise) about 3 times a week, and a first time skiboarder.

I wear Dalbello Krypton Rampage boots (mondo 29.5). The 2007 BWPs w/Pro Lites are the first boards I’ve ever owned so there won’t be any comparison with other skiboards.īackground Info: I’m 27 yrs old, decent shape, 6′ tall, 185ish lbs.

So If you’re on the fence about either getting the EMP or the BWP, I’d say if you’re more inclined for heaving powder bashing action get the EMPS, and If you like rails and terrain parks more get the BWP, but they both excel in either area.Īuthor Andrew Posted on SeptemCategories Boards, BWP Slapdash, RVL8 The BWP’s are high on my list… Got a few more stares then usual, I would then remark to the starer ” weird, huh ? ” and they just stand there with their mouth open not knowing what to say. I was initially concerned about the stability on some big airs but I even overshot a couple landing zones and had no problems. I came off the summitt lift at butternut and I just kept sliding and sliding, even uphill they just kept on going.īut how were they on the rails, you’re wondering ? excellent. I could NOT BELEIVE HOW FAST THESE BASES ARE when properly waxed. They came with some wax on them but of course I went ahead and waxed them, twice with swix all temp wax ( the blue stuff ) I’ll start by saying I was really impressed with the base graphics on these. Rider – Jason Roussel – Expert Skiboarder Co-Founder Īuthor Andrew Posted on SeptemOctoCategories Boards, BWP Slapdash, RVL8, Staff Review BWP are great skiboards for new riders… At 98 cm, someone looking for mid-sized sticks that can handle medium powder, trees and creativity on the slopes/terrain park will love these boards. They are quick edge to edge, easy to turn, medium flexing skiboards. As mentioned before the turning radius is a little sharp for high speed carves. The BWPs feel and look like the big brothers of the Tanshos, which had really steep tips, these are more mellow, and create less drag in the snow on edge. RVL8’s innovative “blunt” tips continue to shine on these boards, making them increasingly stable on edge, and on those tail/nose presses. With a width at 14 cm, they are on the narrower side for RVL8, but still wide skiboard wise. Soft snow floatation was pretty good for someone like myself at 150 pounds.

On the plus side the tight radius worked great in the trees, and wonders for those butters and jibs. If you are into big air or high speed carving, you might want to look for something with a bit of a wider turning radius.

Land these boards a little on edges and you’re going to be twirling around.

With a 4.9 meter turning radius they are perhaps a little too tight for some. Turning radius wise these boards are tight. This review could be entirely based on the graphics themselves but let’s move on to how they ride! I usually prefer to ride short boards around 90cm long but this year I decided to go a little longer to test out other boards. Graphics wise they are a true piece of art, stunning, complex, fun, thoughtful and unique, and reflect the man himself. Fourth day on the BWPs for me, and they are beautiful.
