2012 K2 Brigade Snowboard
This is a K2 Brigade. You can learn how to ride for less with this board and explore the whole mountain. It does have a catch free baseline rocker technology. Eighty percent of this board is completely flat and the 5% by the nose and the tail actually rocks up. The construction and side walls are called a hyper technology side wall. It’s side wall that gradually thins down and slims into a capped construction on the nose and the tail. Of course, the shape is twin and has a hyper progressive sidecut radius. Meaning that you can cruise at high speeds and stay stable, and you can be playful and fun at the bottom of the hill and still not worry about catching an edge, but holding an edge.
The stance is actually set back ¾ of an inch, even though it is a twin shape. It has a W1 wood core. There’s laminate woods that run tip to tail on this thing, and it does have bi-axle fiber glass, so it’s a medium flex board. The bi-axle fiber glass runs in two different directs–from 90 degrees to 0 degrees and it sandwiches that wood core. The base is a low-maintenance speedy fast base called a 2000 extruded. K2 put a 3 degree edge bevel on this board, so if you cruise around on hard pack and you’re just learning to how to do that heel side carve or that toe side carve and you don’t have proper edging on the snow. If you’re a little bit more flat you won’t catch up as likely with that 3 degree edge bevel. If you’re that beginner rider that wants to cruise around the whole mountain, the K2 Brigade is the board for you. Cool graphic too. If my first board had a graphic like this, I’d be psyched.
