stairmaster

Hi! how does the stairmaster handle pow? i know it is a park/jib board, but i seldomely get the chance of riding pow,so will i be totally f''cked with a stairmaster, or will it do its use if i just sett the bindings back a bit?

mine is an extreme, but still a stairmaster.....

i was ridin mine tonight(first night by the way!!!) and some kid came up to me and said hey talk to me at the end of the season and if your board isnt de-laminated i will give you 20 bucks so i guess they de-laminate easy? whatever i had fun on it tonight

CAPiTA had

some bad topsheet material in the first few batches of stairmasters. This actually affected another very popular brand, but Capita recalled all of the first stairmasters from shops and they made new ones with a 2 year warranty. There was a problem, but it speaks volumes to me as a snowboarder that they actually took care of the problem. I have ridden my stairmaster in FEET of Colorado pow this year, and I am pretty stoked on how it handles. It obviously wouldnt be my first choice for a powder deck, but it handled it well. Actually, its one of the funnest boards I have ever ridden. It definitely doesnt handle like a $300 deck. Get one, you'll be a happy camper.

haha

hopefully you see that kid cause im pretty sure the mistake was with the stairmasters not the stairmaster extreme.

.

yea not sure, but it hasnt showed any signs of de-laming or any other big marks. its a pretty fun board, but i rode a rome graft and i think thats what id rather ride next season...

yeah

if you realy dont ride pow alot you should be fine with a stairmaster if you set the bindings back. it also depends on the size of the board, i wouldent reccomend riding a 144 in pow. but other than that stairmasters are great!

this board is gret for rails

this board is gret for rails n shit, but its so very weak. ive had 2 of these and each has gone to shit within a few weeks of shreddin. just get 2 to last you the season else find somethin else

that's

a first i hear of this. usually i'm always hearing how much abuse the stairmaster can handle.

second that. i love mine and its been taking a beating from my fat ass.

Word. I've got 40+ days on m

Word. I've got 40+ days on my Stairmaster. It's chipped, scratched and dirtied over, but it's still as strong and trusty as ever. Definitely a solid, fun stick.
