2009 K2 DARKSTAR SNOWBOARD REVIEW

[rasheedinsari]

Hiyaaaa! Have you tried - fast abs magic (do a search on google)? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my GF got ripped 6 pack abs and lost a truck load of of belly fat with it.

[paintballdude26]

how about jibbing?

[xbanex]

Got this as my first board, And I must say, I'm pretty happy with it.

[sophearithlay]

selling this board for $175 in calgary, msg me.

[richwhitfield]

The green 2009 model is 155

[Powderhound1550]

I ended up getting Burton co2's which are freeride bindings, but it was fantastic in the park, performed well in powder, moguls, steeps and groomers. I highly reccomend this board.

[Dillonhp]

i know its green in the video, but what size is the green board, cause i know they come in white, and purple i think just wondering cause i ride a 153 to 155

[snowboarder992199]

how about back counrty and like knee deep powder is it still gonna perform there?

[PortersLars]

@snowboarder992199 you can do it, but it ain't gonna be as fun as a true pow stick.... or even more all mountain geared board.

[paintdataint]

how is the 2010 do you know?

[PortersLars]

not much has really changed between last years and the 2010 Darlstar

[snowboarder992199]

how is this board going to reform when you take it out of the park and use the rest of the mountain?

[PortersLars]

very well, this board is a predictable flexing board that is super fun outside the park.

[Powderhound1550]

Also, are there any other bingings that would work well with the board? (In all-mountain freestyle)

[Powderhound1550]

Thanks for the help! =-)

[Powderhound1550]

Also, out of K2 Auto Uprise and Buron Cartels, which bindings would you reccomend? Plz respond!!! =-)

[PortersLars]

I would say the Auto Uprise would be more like a Mission than a Cartel

[Powderhound1550]

I just bought a darkstar 152, an i havn't rode it yet. Is it good and fun all over the mountain, or is it just a park board.

[PortersLars]

the Darkstar is a fun higher end park board or a softer do it all board, I rode it in both the park and all mountain at Alpine Meadows and it was fun for everything I threw at it. Although at high speeds it not going to perform the the same as a true all mountain board at high speeds.

[MrLaxman38]

ahhh you poor bb are you crying??????

ya YOU ARE A FAG YA COCKSUCKER

[MrLaxman38]

ya totally when k2 probably doesnt even know about darkstar and who gives a shit it is a really good board

ya fag

[MrLaxman38]

hahaha no they didn't dumbass

[megatronjamez]

have you even rode one?

[PortersLars]

super fun park board that can take laps outside the park and still have pop at speed... great board

[MrLaxman38]

how much did you get it for?

[Jlangbridge07]

Not really. its a K2 snowboard, called the darkstar. No copying at all.

[thundertrucks08]

looks like a sick board. anyone no the song name??

[mrKencasual]

i would think it was made in garage band on the mac.

[PortersLars]

ding ding ding

[mrKencasual]

do i win something.? =D

[kakamahsa]

i ride dryslope and do mostly freestyle, which board do you think is better for me? the K2 or Burton Custom?

[bdoddx13]

darkstar for sure

[CaliCal68]

compare this board to the white burton hero, which board is softer?

[PortersLars]

kinda apples and oranges.... the darkstar is a park board with regular camber and a park flex, the Hero is an all mountain board that is reverse camber and an all mountain flex.

[L86MClean]

Hey what are the main differences between the darkstar and the Believer? Thanks

[PortersLars]

the darkstar is considered park while the believer is more all mountain

[davepk1992]

I got the board a couple of weeks ago but i had no money for bindings. Now i have does anyone have any suggestions on what bindings i should get?

[PortersLars]

K2 Auto, Burton Cartel or Union Force to name a few

[davepk1992]

sweet thanks

[mathyus19]

i fucking love this board i just bought it, green on the botton!!

[jgp7]

what size comes in green on the bottom?

[ryankasten]

i just got this board like 2 weeks ago, its a hella dope board. so much fun to ride.

[lorencep63]

would this board be a good all mountian board

[PortersLars]

is you are more of an intermediate rider yes or if you want a softer all mountain board then this board will work well for you.

[PortersLars]

this is a park board and really not intended for a beginner... so the anagram would do you better

[lorencep63]

hey my boot size is a 10 do i need a wide

[PortersLars]

if you want to ride a 157 or bigger then you can ride the normal Darkstar. If you want a 154 then you might have to go with the wide.

[Zhangzxy]

size 8 boots dont need a wide version do they?

[PortersLars]

heck no, you are one of the lucky ones who can ride really any board and if you want to be a real park rat then buy a chicks board... seriously guys at northstar will buy the smallest board possible for rails... but to really answer your question, no you do not need a wide.

[disciplepkz]

i have a size 12 snowboard boot and 12+ you should get the wider version

[bobcatstd]

How big of a foot can you have on the normal model without upgrading to the wide or using plates? pls answer

[PortersLars]

Depending on the size of your foot and what you want to use it for the longer length boards do get wider as they get longer... But it really all depends on the size of your boot.

DARKSTAR 159 Waist Widht = 25.10

DARKSTAR 161 Waist Width = 25.30

DARKSTAR WIDE 160 Waist Width = 26.30

[simpsonxmasboogy]

to anyone who has one, preferribly a wide one... so really whats the flex like? are butters and presses easy or take alot of effort??

[spArtanRiot77]

I got one man, butters arent too bad really. I dont really do them much so I suck at them, but im sure if your decent at them you wouldnt have any problem doing em. When I got mine the guy told me the difference between the regular and the wide is pretty hard to tell in the darkstar. The pop on the wide is just as crazy as the reg. as well. Its a really responsive wide board

[gerber54]

i have one its not a wet noodle like some boards out there but i love it it will go anyway and do anything that you ask it to do its got great pop and you can really tell its got alot of flex to it

[snowboardergamer3]

so its light

[PortersLars]

thats not the weight of the board but the width of the waist of the board

[snowboardergamer3]

so its biger

[PortersLars]

its wider for people with big feet

[aflo661]

How big of a foot can you have on the normal model without upgrading to the wide or using plates?

[PortersLars]

the 157 is 24.9 and really thats not that wide so if you have a big gun of a foot you might want to look into the wide version which a 157 has a waist width of 26.10

[spArtanRiot77]

I just got the 157 Wide version of this board. Im pretty pumped but is the wide version slower than the normal darkstar?

[PortersLars]

slower in what manner? heel side to toes side, maybe fractionally since its wider but with bigger feet comes more leverage so the timing is not much difference. as far as speed there is no difference.

[spArtanRiot77]

thats good to know, thank you

[drummer835]

is this used for both free ride and freestyle

[PortersLars]

yup, this is a great do it all board with more of a focus on park but you can still enjoy the entire mt. with it

[st3v3n98]

I like the06/07 one best

[PortersLars]

The wide has the same pop as the regular board.

[jessse288]

does the wide got pop
