YES, the rumors are true. David Carrier-Porcheron, Romain de Marchi, and JP Solberg, who all parted ways with Burton last Fall, are starting a new snowboard brand. YES they will be available at SIA and YES they have landed on a name. YES. The idea for the new line was hatched when Jim Zbinden, founder of the Pulp68 family and designer of Nidecker’s NDK line, began talking with Romain de Marchi several years ago about a new type of company focused on quality, affordable boards with more of a skate feel. “RDM liked the idea and met [with] DCP & JPS to use this board,” says Zbinden. “At the same time, I worked out a new concept of snowboard brand, a brand that looks like a skate brand. Cheaper but stronger, changing design every 4 months.” Zbinden worked with Henry Nidecker, who manages the family factory, to create the boards, and prototypes started rolling out a couple months ago.
YES. Asym Rocker Snowboard The regular Twin Tip Boards
in the YES. range are aimed at those riders who are looking for the Ultimate in technical freestyle control. All three sizes are built around an advanced lightweight FSC approved Poplar with Beech reinforced wood core, featuring CamRock construction. This state of the art design combines camber between the feet with rocker at the tip and tail. By combining camber and rocker you get a board which has superb stability and increased turning control whilst still feeling shorter through the length and reducing the likelihood of hooking up on a rail. Also the rocker in the tip gives superb float in deeper snow. Added to this are torsionally stiff tri-ax glass for increased pop and a super fast 6000 grade sintered base. By using top end materials and the latest thinking in board design YES. have managed to create one of the best performing freestyle boards on the market that has the unique ability to perform over the whole mountain. * Shape: Assymmetrical * Profile: Rocker with Camber between the feet * Flex: Mid * Core: Tip to Tail Poplar with Beech reinforcing * Glass Orientation: Tri-ax * Base: Stone Ground 6000 Sintered * Rider Profile: Intermediate to Expert riders * Performance Profile: Technical All Terrain Freestyle |
