第一次買板...目標是k2 vvv rocker....請指教^_^

[orangebb]

我有以下幾個疑團......

1.k2 vvv rocker 係freestyle 板.....但係用來玩freeride其實得唔得?
2.sales 話塊板太軟玩freeride唔係咁好,何解?
3.其實板係唔係越輕越正(for freeride)?
4.又何謂之一塊靚嘅freeride板,要具備咩條件呢?
5.我係雪場上租過burton嘅boot....覺得非常fit,咁係咪所有burton boot 都係同一個設計(入面唔係出面).......?
6.binding 有無話點叫好?定睇款睇colour巳經ok?
7.另外,我見到啲有gore-tex嘅衫褲十分之薄.....但係又講到好似好保暖咁......真定假?請問有無人著過呢?

問題少女多問題.......請各人兄指點迷津:D感激不盡:)

I think you mean 'WWW' not 'VVV'...

Freeride boards are usually stiffer to give more stability and more response so you can turn quicker. They're also longer and directional, meaning they have a larger nose and the stance is set slightly towards the back so that the nose doesn't dip when you're in deep snow.

Freestyle boards are shorter and have more flex so you can ollie higher and makes other tricks easier. They're usually twin shaped, meaning the nose and tail are the same size, which makes riding switch easier.

Pretty much the same thing with bindings. Freeride bindings are stiffer to give better response so you can turn quicker and edge harder. Freestyle bindings are softer so you can flex your ankles easier. One way to tell is to hold the binding down and give the highback a twist to see how stiff they are. Apart from how much strap padding there are and how smooth the ratchets are, a thing I always look for in bindings is how adjustable they are. There are obviously the strap adjustments toe and heel ramp, and high back tilt adjustments, but more and more bindings now offer heel cup adjustments which allows for a better way to centre your boot. (Union bindings are a good example, google it.)

As for boots, I think that's the most important thing as they're in direct contact with your feet. Boots also come in different stiffness. And you can probably guess it by now, stiffer boots for freeride, softer boots for freestyle. Different model boots will have slightly different fits so you should always try before you buy. Boots should fit comfortably when you have your knees slightly bent, and your toes should be pushing the top of the boot when you stand up straight. Another thing to consider is the lacing system, some makes getting in and out much easier. (Burton does a pretty good job of that I hear, I have Deeluxe boots which are very similar to Burton's system.)

If you're not a hardcore park rider, then a board that has medium flex will allow you to do jumps and rails but also stable enough on the steeper slopes. Same with bindings and boots, something not too stiff but not too flexy. From what I can gather on the K2 website, the WWW Rocker is very much a freestyle board. You can still go down marked pistes with it, it might just feel a bit twitchy on rougher terrain.

Hope this answers some of your questions.

7.另外,我見到啲有gore-tex嘅衫褲十分之薄.....但係又講到好似好保暖咁......真定假?請問有無人著過呢?


Goretex material is not meant for 保暖. The material is renowned for its breathability and offered fair degree of water repellent at the same time.

Goretex 都有幾種物料, 包括:
Goretex 1.0/eVent = water repellent - most breathable - short life
Goretex 2.0 - 15.0/Classic = water repellent - less breathable - long life
Goretex Paclite = water repellent - more breathable - moderate life - lightest
Goretex XCR = water repellent - highly breathable - long life
Goretex Pro Shell = water repellent - highly breathable - longest life – lighter
Note: Goretex XCR is being replaced by Goretex Pro Shell

Because the weather on the mountain can change very quickly, you should keep warm and dress in layers, ie. able to remove or add items of clothings as temperature rise or drop respectively.

www rocker (designed for man), vvv rocker (designed for woman)
www rocker and vvv rocker are designed for the park
all terrain - all condition snowboard (powder, jump, rail and out of bound). head and tail width are almost the same (it doesn't hv to be). board centre is usually stance back.
freeride - most of the time for the down slope condition. it is very good riding on the powder condition. head width always wilder than the tail. board centre is always stance back.
park - very good on the jump, rail, half pipe. head and tail width are always the same. board centre is right at the middle of the board.
if you like to do a big jump, silding down on the rail and half pipe vvv rocker isn't bad to you..
if you are not always at the park and you also want on the powder slope, vvv rocker may not be very suitable for you. because centred in the middle of the park is pretty hard floating on the powder snow. then you hv better to get a all terrain snowboard (not vvv rocker).
so now you must hv got the basic idea how to choose your board
if you are just go snowboarding 1 or 2 times in a season & you ain't that good on snowboarding, what kinda board doesn't matter for you. just get the pattern you like.
if you always go snowboard in a season & you are good, then you hv to choose your board carefully
