The most expensive snowboard

While researching the world’s most expensive snowboard, I found an interesting story the “King of Snow Mountain” in China bought solid gold snowboard at a price of $10 million which has been custom made in the USA and the best bit is that it's motorised and all this for his son’s 21st birthday.

That is not it by the way. Enough with the rich and famous well not really cause the Burton Method is one hell of an investment if you work it out at a price per Kg basis it’s more expensive than Silver!  It has an extremely light core it’s a bit like picking up a block of polystyrene when you’ve expected to lift a house brick. This is also an extremely sexy board to look at. There’s no top-sheet, just a clear laminate to showcase the exquisite carbon fibre composite construction. It also has the Methlon base which Burton claim is the slipperiest substance known to man, other than Jelly which doesn’t make a great snowboard base. That's the technical mumbo jumbo have a look at it you be the judge of is it cool or worth it all that money.

Steampunk snowboard

This is a bit different from all the rest of them this is a work at home DYI job take look at it and be the judge has some interesting features for a snowboard made from scrap, with sails affixed to gather air, that helps run a generator as it makes way to the rear chamber.

GNU Carbon Credit BTX

The reason the GNU Carbon Credit BTX is more expensive for an entry level boards is because even expert freestyle riders can still appreciate many qualities the Carbon Credit has.  So basically it's more than just an entry level freestyle board. I found the flex to be good, not too soft and not too stiff. The board turns easily and goes edge to edge well and in general is very easy to ride - very user-friendly. And the retro-ish modern look does a great job it looks really cool it gives that realaxing feeling to you don't know it's good or bad for a board but it definitely scores well with my cool rating.

Salamon Lily

This time it's a female board, and tell me it's not a beauty, it's just black and white  I know but it's a beautiful design and this is the board Jenny Jones chooses to lay down her X Games winning runs on so only on that element it's a very cool board. This board is for girls who know how to ride and want a park board that is pure performance, the Lily helps you pop ollies higher with Popster’s core profile design, so not only is it a cool board it's a great jib board.

Rossignol Taipan Amptek

Aka the Angus, replace  the Carbon and Kevlar reinforcement from the construction and trade in the pricey 7500 sintered base for Rossi’s slick 4400 sintered base and you’ve got the Taipan. It is a directional board. The front it's a 7 flex and the rest is a 6. So it is a little stiffer on the head. I really like hybrid construction. I think that is about enough of the technical stuff well I can tell you it's a good all mountain board I have ridden one and I really like, by the way did I tell you it looks awesome the graphics really pop the pictures might not tell you the truth but in really life itis a really cool looking board.
