					<description><![CDATA[No companies are exempt from issues whether it&#8217;s during manufacturing, business deals and just plan things not working out the way you wanted them to.  The past couple months, there&#8217;s been a lot of unknown and silence from Omatic Snowboards.  No sneak peeks into their upcoming line or news from the brand, but now you can finally get a sneak peek at the 2011-2012 Omatic line.  Founder Jason Kanes is still behind the brand but there&#8217;s definitely been a chance of scenery for a couple other familiar names/faces in the line. For 2011-12, Omatic continues with their BS Technology which combines reverse camber with an industry first 3-Dimensional Bowed Surface technology. BS Technology is featured on 4 out of their 9 boards this year.  I haven&#8217;t heard if the boards are still being made in Elan Factory but I have heard they will be out in November for the upcoming season. [singlepic id=12439 w=500 h=500 mode=watermark float=] [singlepic id=12440 w=500 h=500 mode=watermark float=] I&#8217;ll keep updating this post as I receive more information.  Thanks to David for forwarding this on!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Breckenridge, CO Snow Conditions: Mixture of hardpacked to slushy groomers. Setup: I rode the Omatic Celebrity with my Union bastardized bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8. Size: 155 First Impression: Hands down the most poppy board I&#8217;ve ridden in a while. Weight: Average Flex: The celebrity had a stiffer flex longitudinally that really gave it a lot of stability and overall stiffness for the mountain.  Torsionally stiffer so once on edge you had the full strength of the board into each carve.  I found the stiffer flex perfect for pipe riding (obviously Louie Vito&#8217;s board it better be) but also a charging board down the mountain outside of pipe.  Omatic&#8217;s moved to a new factory this year which meant the BS Technology changed, it&#8217;s less defined than last year&#8217;s boards.  Now instead of just a rocker area between the feet it&#8217;s actually a flat area with rocker from the bindings out.  With BS, the center of the base remainds in contact with the riding surface, the base tapers towards the edge and the rockered areas towards the contact points help lift them so less catchy. Turning: With the celebrity you could take the energy from one turn and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Omatic marches steadily into the future as a company for the riders by riders and they won&#8217;t BS their way into your heads.  Since Omatic was introduced to the public they&#8217;ve developed with the changes, seen riders come and go but continued to be about having a fun ride built with honesty.  With legendary Todd Richards behind the company and Louie Vito flipping and spinning his way through contests, it&#8217;s no surprise they have boards that can handle some tough riding. New for 10-11, Omatic moved their snowboard production from China to Austria&#8217;s Elan Factory and the BS Technology is a bit more mellow/subdued than last year&#8217;s introduction.  More boards feature the BS technology like the Louie Vito Celebrity, Extr-TXTR and women&#8217;s Disco. [singlepic id=8782 w=900 h=600 float=] Omatic Louie Vito Celebrity Features:  True twin shape is a high performance ride that helps put Mr Vito on the contest podium and features Sintered BS Tech base, dualslant sidewall technology, triaxial fiberglass matrix, dualBEAM carbon laminates, clevercore technology, triradial sidecut technology, men&#8217;s park flex pattern. Sizes:  148, 152, 155, 158, 161 [singlepic id=8780 w=600 h=900 float=] Omatic Extr-TXTR Features:  It will help you butcher the park like your fingers butcher the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With the motto &#8220;handcrafted by expensive machines&#8221; its easy to love O-matic snowboards with their fun no-BS approach to snowboarding.  Beyond the company and the names behind it, once you ride the boards you aren&#8217;t disappointed by the little shred company that could. O-matic snowboards was the last stop on Day 2 and located in beautiful Encinitas in Southern California. When I was driving through town I wondered how hard it would be to spot the snowboard offices but it&#8217;s not hard to miss the massive poster that fills the window and with front row parking I found myself soon to walk into O-matic Snowboards. [singlepic id=6693 w=395 h=297 float=] Upon walking into O-matic you get the full tour, almost everything is in sight of the front door which makes it very customer orientated with all eyes on the prize.  I was faced with Jason Kanes and Tanya Otero who would be my tour guides for the afternoon.  The best part was sitting down with both of them and just talking (some off the record so for my ears only) and what&#8217;s coming up for O-matic including possible changes in store for their snowboards.

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Keystone, Colorado Snow Conditions: Overcast with hardpacked groomers. Setup: I rode the O-matic Sweet with Technine Nines and my Rome Vamps size 8. First Impression: Probably the best graphics I have seen and just a good around board. Size: 158cm Weight: average Flex: All around the flex was midway between stiff and soft which made it good for everything riding. I found it relatively stiff on the nose and tail, making it a little harder to press but good for pop. Between the bindings it rode softer, easy to torsionally flex it and really get good response from sharp turns. Turning: I found the board really responsive edge to edge, easy to maneuver into turn initiations. The sidecut allowed for quick short radius turns and those felt the most fun with the board. The longer radius spread out high speed turns didn&#8217;t feel as stable but I wouldn&#8217;t expect that from this board either. Stable: The most unstable feeling I got was in the bindings to board. Longer turns weren&#8217;t as stable as taking turns slower and more short radius. Over bumps, it cut through some cruddy spots and held an edge when I wanted to go faster on [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you get the chance to meet the people behind O-matic or even just check out their catalog, they just radiate with fun and humor.  That fun and humor goes into their boards and making them fun to ride without making it too techy or serious.  From the first time I checked out O-matic I had hopes but you never know, when the insane sales went down on them and people scooped them up like mad&#8230;it was then that the reports came out how people loved their O-matic&#8217;s which helped the word of mouth go even further on the brand.  Since then I&#8217;ve seen them more and more on the mountains. The B.S. (supposedly stands for bowed surface but I love the name) Technology is new on the extr-eco.  The B.S. Technology combines reverse camber with a convex base that lifts the edges off the snow between the contact points while the center of the board remains in contact with the snow.  You might think O-matic used oompa loompas to design this&#8230;but no, it was design robots who created the magic.     O-matic stepped up for the boobs in 09-10 with a B4BC snowboard that really says how much [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a look at O-matic softgoods for 2008-2009, just a small way to show your support for a company. And really&#8230;how else will you pick up a t-shirt featuring a rabbit with a chainsaw? I came back from SIA with an O-matic bandanna with polka dots which I intended to keep since it was really rad but Tom decided that was the one bandanna he wanted.
