					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, CO Snow Conditions: Softpacked to hardpacked conditions. Setup: I rode the Capita Ultrafear FK with Union Force bindings and Vans aura boots. Size: 155 First Impression: It&#8217;s been a couple years since I&#8217;ve owned the Ultrafear but I remember why I loved it. Solid freestyle board! Weight: Average. Flex: On the spectrum, the Ultrafear is on the middle of the range for overall flex. It&#8217;s meant to be a stiffer freestyle board, not as soft as the horrorscope and not as stiff as the mid range boards. The longitudinal flex feels a tad stiffer which helps for the overall handling of the board. Torsionally there&#8217;s some give and play to the board which helps for quick response. The nose and tail are still soft enough for playing around on and float in any powder. The Capita Ultrafear features freestyle FK with zero camber from insert to insert, reverse camber from outside insert to contact point and wah-pow on the nose and tail of the board. Turning:One of the highlights of the Ultrafear is the handling. It takes very little adjustment to ride this board and it&#8217;s one of those boards that I honestly think any level could [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Keystone, CO Snow Conditions: Softpacked to hardpacked conditions, powder conditions from new snow to older snow. Setup: I rode the Never Summer Lotus with Burton Escapade bindings and Ride Cadence Focus boots. Size: 157 First Impression: The Lotus continues to be Never Summer&#8217;s women&#8217;s freeriding/charging snowboard. Weight: Average. Flex: Based off the men&#8217;s Premier F1, the Lotus gives women a board that is stiffer, more charging and built for freeriding. Overall, it&#8217;s a stiffer flex underfoot with a bit softer torsional flex between the bindings. The nose is softer to handle powder and the board has a stiffer tail for more control. The board has a good amount of dampening to help absorb the bumps. Never Summer’s RC technology features rocker between the feet and camber outside the bindings. Turning: One of the best perks of the Lotus is the quick handling and engagement into turns despite the stiffer flex. You can get the board into short radius turns quickly and still have good stiffer flex to handle the longer drawn out S turns. Regardless you can power through turns. Stable: For the current conditions, the lotus has ridden a decent amount of hardpacked/icy conditions and it&#8217;s still holding [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Winter is just around the corner which means all the 10-11 gear will be hitting the slopes soon.  Each year before the season begins, I get to test and try out different gear to review.  Eventually this list will be expanded on but here&#8217;s the collection of bindings that I was able to try out for 2010-2011 so far. This review will be updated throughout the season as I demo and test more 10/11 bindings. Each review is judged by the same standard and for the majority of reviews I used my own boots (some exceptions). [singlepic id=8719 w=300 h=400 float=] If you have a specific binding you would like to be reviewed please request it in the comment section. About me as a snowboarder: I&#8217;m coming up on my 17th season snowboarding. I am majority freerider (I ride trees, powder, steeps, groomers, natural terrain) and I ride halfpipe.  I&#8217;m progressing my park experience with boxes/rails. I am 5&#8217;6&#8243; and typically ride a 156cm for my all mountain board, my powder board is a 161cm and my park board is a 151cm. I am a regular rider with a 22 inch width, +15, -15 stance angles. I wear size 8 [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In 2008 I saw a report from SIA that mentioned product reviews being a valuable asset for consumers and it&#8217;s been no doubt that since then product reviews continue to be a popular choice for consumers before buying products.  For shayboarder.com, reviews are hands down the most popular content I produce.  The reviews page is the second highest page for traffic after the homepage and consistently brings back hits on google when people look up direct reviews for products.  I&#8217;m not one to say I started anything but it&#8217;s rad to see that a snowboard blogger could start producing reviews and see other blogs follow in the example I first set.  Now you can find reviews from many other snowboarders around the world, giving you the chance to encounter multiple reviews from multiple sources. For a while I&#8217;ve wanted to do a post on the reviews that I publish so that people have a better understanding of what goes into each review, how boards get chosen and any grey areas that people might think&#8230;can now be addressed.  Here&#8217;s some questions I&#8217;ve seen over the years about my reviews that I&#8217;m going to compile and answer for everyone.

					<description><![CDATA[Last March I spent 3 days at Stevens Pass riding and reviewing snowboards for Board Insiders, a new snowboard review site that would launch this winter.  They&#8217;ll be launching the site next month and I&#8217;m stoked to see the final finishes to their reviews make their way online.  Their plans are to put up &#8220;one video review for every snowboard on the market&#8221; and give snowboarders a place to find reviews that they can relate to. The videos are starting to make their way up to the Board Insiders Youtube Channel and you can check out some of the boards in action.  So far the Arbor Cadence, Ride DH2, Bataleon Fun Kink, Forum Scallwag, Nitro Runaway and GNU Riders Choice videos are up. I&#8217;ll keep you updated as the website launches and I&#8217;m stoked to see how the reviews come out from their side. Most of the boards I&#8217;ve ridden have been reviewed on my site but on there you can see them in action.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year for your input on the upcoming reviews for the 2009-2010 season!  With temperatures dropping and snow on the way, that means it&#8217;s another season of reviews approaching.  I need your input on what boards/bindings to ride and review this season, what boards don&#8217;t have reviews, what gear you want to know more about and what I should ride this season? [singlepic id=5495 w=400 h=300 float=] So far for 2009-2010, I have ridden 43 snowboards that are in the review list here and the 09-10 season hasn&#8217;t even started so that means I have a lot more time to ride more 09-10 snowboards.   There&#8217;s still a couple 09-10 reviews on the way. I welcome all responses for all types of boards/bindings, the most popular requested gear will go to the top of the list and this list will be in my pocket all season as I cross it off and write up a review on it.  I understand that online reviews are hard to come by, some companies/models are even harder to find reviews on which is why I want your input on what you want to be reviewed.  The demo season in CO starts [&#8230;]]]></description>
