i wanted there to be at least one other person that thought this was a good idea. Plus to the people that are saying that they will ruin all of the trails, they will probably mostly stick to the bunny hill.

it doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. It's not like people are gonna buy these to use on groomers. People will rent them and use them on parts of the mountain I won't be on. It's the snowboarders (and skiers) who don't take lessons and don't learn how to turn who ruin the snow.

i snowboard and even i thinnk that is kinda dumb. when your learning the whole point is to learn how to controll your speed the right way, not with a fucking hand brake. i feel it would just cause bad form. dont be a pussy, learn the traditional way....

I know! Just imagine a world where there were no longer any more risks associated with action sports. Boarder Kontrol has taken us one step closer to this ultimate goal of ours.


But seriously, I can't even fathom why this would be necesary; to prevent beginners from building any kind of fundamentals required to actually do the sport? Shit sucks.

I think this would be a fine idea to keep it on the bunny hill. Like you rent a snowboard like this for your first day, and it wouldn't be allowed on a chairlift. Only on a rope tow on the bunny hill.

Anywhere else on the mountain this thing would fucking FUCK THE FUCKING SHIT out of the snow.

my only thought is that, as someone who has learned to snowboard, it is much easier to keep your balance when you have speed so this could actually slow the learning curve a bit.

So that's at the tail with the concave part facing the nose. How long until somebody jams on the brake and goes flying because they stopped so suddenly? Like at a hill with barely any snow cover that could probably happen, or even somewhere with a dense enough base so it won't tear out when that thing digs itself in.

1. Take this piece of shit invention and go 'holy fuck this is fucking stoopid fuck'
2. Take the the god damn trencher embedded into this thing and cut some teeth into it, like so: \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
3. Unleash Gaper/"Shoobie" snowboarders with said technology on snowboard
4. !!???!!
5. Snowcats, enjoy your retirement. Been a good long run.

Does it work on boxes? Those things are so darn slippery, I always go way to fast on them.

LOL Imagine going to get up on a box and you dont have hand the leash attatched so the break just kinda going free... get on the box and the brake drops as your tail is hanging off the back, then you get it caught at the front of the box and blow out both your knees due to sudden stop. www.whocanisue.com

I think i'm going to tackle the first person I see using this. And we all know... These beginners are gonna go into the park and use their fancy brake on every kicker they see.

"teerin ap groomuhs since 2013!"

holy fuck that is so retarded. I came in here to bash op and did not see this coming.

the ONLY time this is a good idea is maybe for track 3/disabled snowboarders. and even then it's sketch and retarded.

if this gets into circulation in north america I really hope a lot of places ban those stupid fucked up brakes

im pretty sure that if this was even limited to just the bunny hill it would get soo fucked up that they couldn't go down it, imagine trying to use that against a bunch of ruts.

for some people the entire hill is the bunny hill.
if this catches on at my local hill the park will forever be in ruins. kids will book it up to the jumps, then brake on the lip then roll over the lip.

It's designed as a board for people to learn on and not to normally shred around with, you bunch of halfwits.

I bet you idiots would hate on training wheels saying that they ruin single track and can take up too much space on the trails.
