2011 Artec Nima Snowboard
From Artec we have the Nima Jalali Pro Model. “It’s funny because I was thinking about this board, I was thinking about how sweet this graphic is, and I was thinking about Nima. I thought to myself, you know what? I think I picked him up as a hitchhiker leaving government camp, going up to Timberline Lodge in the summer of 2004. Nima, if you’re watching this and that was you, let me know if it was because I’ve been thinking about it all this time. Anyway, if you are Reading , this is your Pro Model it has a great design.” – Matt Guf
2011 Artec Nima Jalali Construction
We know you needed a board that needed a lot of control and a lot of toughness. This is a twin tip board. It is a Pro Model, and it has some really cool side wall technology. It’s called the Tri Tech Technology. It’s actually a sandwich sidewall technology. You can see how it looks sandwiched. There’s classic ABS side wall on this, but inside those two sidewalls, sandwiched in between, is Avisco-Elastic dampening layer. The side walls are at 30 degrees. It think it’s a cool idea, and I think it works. The core is a low-density, ultra tech, poplar laminate wood core that runs from tip to tail.
The glass is pretty interesting as well. It is a composite beam glass, which means that it’s made of carbon kevlar reinforcements in the Nordic glass that runs from tip to tail and from rail to rail. The base is called a Beta base. It’s going to stay fast and durable. Nima wanted a base that was pretty much bombproof. You can ride it over rocks. I’m not saying that’s a good idea, and that’s good for your base, but it’s going to hold up compared to a lot of other bases that are out there.
The Artec Nima Snowboard has HyperTec camber technology as well. Do you know what camber is? Thank God. I’m glad that you do. The camber technology is opposite reverse camber-what everyone seems to be getting nowadays. Camber boards seem to have and do have a lot more pop than the reverse camber board. That’s just what Nima Jalali needs. He likes to ollie high. He likes to be an aggressive rider that spins quickly and jumps high. It is also a twin board, and Artec gives this a Flex rating of a 2.5. So it’s going to be a little bit on the softer side, but it’s going to be very snappy. . A lot of cool features,the Artec Nima Jalali.
