@bromosexual146 If a guy starts snowboarding in 2011 and wants to ride park, he may buy a reverse camber deck. He still has to learn like everyone else, the board isn't going to just do it for him. Technology will continue to expand, people will use it. No one is arguing cambered decks aren't still competitive or that reverse camber is required. It's just another option.

@bromosexual146 You are acting like a different board is going to make a bad rider good. It's not. And I'm not arguing to compensate technology for technique. By your logic, a guy riding a 90's deck could tell you that YOU are a bad rider because the new tech (in your post 2000 deck) is compensating for your riding faults and you should be using old decks to improve your riding. He's a better for riding a more difficult to ride board with worse tech, right? See how stupid that sounds?

@rlclark50 but im not talking about boardercross. thats a totaly different aspect of riding ofcourse he would need a stiff board. im talking about a person who is convinced by someone like you that these boards are going to make you not hook on rails and make a "looser ride" that they should switch from a good regular camber board to this were it may help them but they never actually learn how to correct their faults. its just a board that does it for them. waddup now ya look stupid.

[rlclark50]

@bromosexual146 It doesn't "correct your faults". It just is optimized for a different style of riding. You wouldn't tell a guy who was trying to ride a park jib stick in boardcross he is compensating for his faults switching to a free ride board. But by your logic, ee should be able to just race with the park board. That's inane.

It doesn't correct anything, you still have to be able to ride.

@rlclark50 if you know how to snowboard right you wouldnt need a board that corrects your faults for you..  now finess my balls.

[rlclark50]

@bromosexual146 Reverse camber is good for float in the powder, but the real benefit of reverse camber is it loosens up the ride to make finessing approaches on park features easier. The other major benefit is that it butters, presses and switch-ups mid feature won't hook like on a cambered deck. Reverse camber is great for jib rats, but sacrifices stability, speed and pop to gain manuverability and reduct catchiness while jibbing.

Many board companies now feature hybrid cambers.
