					<description><![CDATA[Job Title: Marketing, design, development Employer: StepChild Snowboards / Boozy the clown Years on snow: 10 years or so. 2 years at Step. Days on snow: as many as I can get Currently Riding: Latchkey 48, Sleazy rider 152, union teams, 32 boots Currently I am: Enjoying a Red stripe Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Sami: I was born in 88 just outside London, UK. Spent most of my growing up years London way, you get exposed to a lot of cool stuff when your in and around such an amazing city. I Started snowboarding when I was like 12 or something in Italy one Christmas on a family trip. Spent most of my early snowboarding years on the shitty dry slopes we had back home, these things would rip you to shreds when you fell. When I was 17 I left UK and did a couple of living stints in mainland Europe and in Queenstown, NZ, just to snowboard as much as possible, since then only really pass back through London. This time of the year I can be found either at home, record store or the pub. Shay: How has snowboarding changed your life? Sami: [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After 11 years Stepchild Snowboards is still an independent brand with the heart and soul of riders involved behind it.  With team riders Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain and JP Walker holding it down on Stepchild boards, it’s no surprise they’ve secured a place in snowboarding with park/urban destroyers and hilarious graphics. Stepchild Snowboards continues to offer a range of technology in their snowboards.  The constructions range from armorcore (ABS/poplar wood core with glue injection), Kicker I core (poplar wood core), Kicker II core (poplar wood core with beech rails), Kicker III core (poplar wood core with beech rails and beech insert strips) Bamboo Kicker Core (poplar wood core with beech power rails and tip to tail bamboo insert strips).  Stepchild has reverse camber, camber or zero camber options.  For the park destroyers, Stepchild uses RETT (predulled edges between the bindings), park formula sidewall (impact absorption), snag free bases (no die cuts or joints in the base material which is usually how the board will snag) and armadillo plates (strengthens the board around the inserts without interupting the flex pattern). Stepchild Powder Sucks The sucks has been our most popular board in the line since its introduction 6 yeas ago, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Mammoth, CA Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to softpacked to ice chunks to slushfests. Setup: I rode the Stepchild Simon Chamberlain with Union Team bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8. Size: 152cm. First Impression: The Simon Chamberlain steps it up with changes and it&#8217;s a damn fine ride. Weight: Average Flex: Softer flex torsionally between the bindings with a stiffer nose and tail flex.  Overall good stability longitudinally on the Chamberlain. The flex made the board quick and responsive edge to edge with good snap and pop.  Stability wise, the board handled chop and crud better than expected.  The Simon Chamberlain is rocker/reverse camber with 6mm of rocker, just enough for freestyle fun but still continues to be a very consistent ride turning down the mountain. Turning: Quick and responsive was the Chamberlain.  It was easy to ride and the softer flex between the bindings definitely helped the torsional forgiveness of the board.  I really liked the shorter quick turns but it still did good on the longer S turns.  Supposedly the Stepchild rocker is &#8220;pre-flexed&#8221; going into turns and for me, it made turns super comfortable and natural. Stable: I had just rode the Eco Pop that morning and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Snowboarding was meant to be enjoyed and it&#8217;s no surprise that Stepchild follows through with enjoying snowboarding, good quality snowboards and keeping it real.  Stepchild added a couple new boards to the line  which includes more reverse camber models in a variety of low to high price ranges. Joe Sexton received a pro model and guest pro Scotty Wittlake received a board in the line up for 10-11.  The women&#8217;s PMS board will surely cause women to gasp and men to faint at the sight of a red filled river and tampon riding stepchild.

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, CO Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to icy conditions on the mountain, flat-light riding conditions. Setup: I rode the Stepchild Salary Man with Ride Bandita Contraband bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8. Size: 155cm. First Impression: This board is the sucks model (powder sucks, everything sucks) and while some stuff might suck&#8230;this board makes the mountain not suck when you ride it. Weight: average Flex: The stepchild sucks was middle of the road for the flex, it wasn&#8217;t stiff but it wasn&#8217;t soft.  It could handle the playful fun riding on the mountain but also charge freeriding.  It was a very ideal middle of the road for an all mountain board and I could still play with it on butters and presses.  The flex was consistent throughout the board, never felt like the tail or nose was stiffer than the other and underfoot a tad stiffer to absorb rougher landings.  Overall it was a fairly forgiving ride on the mountain with no surprises in how it handled. Turning: It was a very predictable ride down the mountain, easy to transition into turns and you felt the board hold the carve each turn whether it was short or long [&#8230;]]]></description>
