Ride Kink snowboard – Dave McCaul. This is definitely one of our best-selling true twin snowboards. It’s got a pretty mellow radial sidecut to it. It’s gonna be pretty predictable, definitely stable, with a rolling away flat base. This snowboard’s gonna excel on rails, boxes, street-features and the park.
It has biaxial fiberglass in the top, which is light-weight, forgiving, and has torsionally softer flexing. It has an extruded base, which is really easy to take care of. If you get a hit from a kink on a rail, it’s gonna be easy to repair. You don’t have to wax it as much. For side-features, there’s slimewalls: a urethane sidewall, definitely very resistant to cracking. It’ll lock onto rails really well and definitely add some shock-absorption and suspension when you’re riding the icy, hard-pack crap we ride here in St. Paul.
It has a cleave edge, with doubled material to the edge. It will definitely hold up to more metal abuse, and it will be able to be de-tuned and brought back later on down the road, if you want to go from rail to pipe, which you can do with the snowboard. This is part of The Mobility Collection, which is more of their freestyle oriented snowboards.
It has color-changing ink on the top sheet goes from the light color that you see here to a darker color once you take it outside in the snow. One of their best-selling snowboards, it fits right in with that low-level twin class that’s really hot right now. There are about four of those snowboards, and this one definitely has a lot of tech built into it for the price tag. Ride Kink snowboard!
