10% snowboard, 90% rider - here’s the proof

Does come into play with Signal ETT? Some of their boards (look at most recent one the pine derby) are not “real” snowboards and dont handle the snow that well, but I would still call what they do snowboarding

One thing that’s consistent throughout the ETT series, is that the closer the boards they make are to ‘real’ snowboards, the closer their riding is to ‘real’ snowboarding.

Freeriding chucky?

chucky has a valid point. BUT, I still think a skilful rider could ride the mountain better on a piece of crap than a significantly less skilful rider on a high-end board. Skill > board, every time.

. . . a skilful rider could ride the mountain better on a piece of crap than a significantly less skilful rider on a high-end board. Skill > board, every time.

Very true.

I’d also argue that the better the rider, the more they’re able to to utilise and appreciate a quality board.

And I would agree with you.

Agreed
