    London Ride 2005

    London Ride 2005 was held at the Daily Mail Ski and Snowboard show on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of October.

    j2ski.com said:

    It proved to be one of the most awesome indoor freestyle events ever held on British soil. The excitement in MC Pat Sharples voice was matched by the 3,000+ audience.

    Skiers such as Laurent Favre (who went on to win the event), Andy Bennett, Loic Collomb Patton, Jon Olsson, Flo Wieser, Mike Wakefield, Craig Coker, Arnaud Rougier, Laurent Thevenet and many other top names hit the big air kicker, delivering to the crowd different tricks such as Switch 9’s, Switch Cork 7 Mute’s, 1080’s and Switch backflips. After 4 judged jumps the scoring was extremely close with 1/2 and 1/4 points seperating most athletes.

    Burton T6


    Futuristic freeride.

    Lively, agile and lightweight; the T6™ is Terje’s all-terrain vehicle of choice. Whether boosting in the pipe, spinning off windlips or threading shoulder-width chutes, the Indy car handling and power of the T6 changes the way you ride. Fusing aerospace technology with precision-engineered materials, the non-organic aluminum honeycomb core offers uncompromised snap and response wood cores can’t touch. Now in its third year of production, the enhanced durability of the T6 lets you ride in confidence. Experience the next level of snowboard performance.

    TECH & FEATURES

    Sintered WFO Base

    We take the highest grade sintered material and saturate it with both a high and low temperature-reactive wax to create a pre-conditioned, wax-impregnated base that provides ultra-fast glide over any snow condition imaginable. The regenerative properties of the high and low-melt waxes mean this base stays Wide F!#@ing Open all season long.

    Alumafly Core

    The Alumafly core is 90% air by volume and represents the perfect union of high-grade aerospace technology and EGD™. The 3D® profiled tip-to-tail aluminum honeycomb construction combines engineered performance and strength in an ultra-lightweight core that provides a snappy, non-organic ride as a high-performance alternative to wood cores.

    Multizone EGD


    The wood grain is perpendicular to the core only under the bindings—the area from which a rider’s power emanates—to enhance carving precision while maintaining overall snow feel.

    Lite Triax Fiberglass

    One lengthwise layer of fiberglass, topped with two layers of diagonal glass, provides the board’s torsional stiffness for more precise turn initiation and exit and superior edge hold.

    Infinite Ride

    The Industry’s first and only process of its kind, Infinite Ride® allows us to manufacture a snowboard that maintains a consistent feel season after season with enhanced durability our competitors can’t touch. During this process we put each board through conditions similar to those found during a hard-charging season on snow. Think of it this way: Just as some car manufacturers run the engines on their cars for 1,000 miles before you even drive it off the floor, we overbuild a board and put it through a performance-enhancing torture test that allows the board to retain its shape and ride characteristics throughout its life. It means our boards set the industry standard for safety, quality and durability. Straight from the shop to snow, and every season, your board will perform on another level.

    Even Core Profile

    An even core profile offers consistent flex and feel over the entire board and promotes stability at all speeds.

    Stainless Steel Edges

    High-performance stainless steel provides superior defense against corrosion for razor-sharp edges and hassle-free maintenance.

    Pressure Distribution Edges

    The edges beneath the bindings extend out a half millimeter, giving you that extra grip you need to maintain control on icy hardpack.
