Well well well the onslaught of the weekend has descended upon us, and it's a holiday weekend to boot, so needless to say, my boyfriend and I aren't riding today. We planned to go to BC since a lot of people's passes were blacked out for President's weekend, but sadly he's sick. Dead, he says. :( This gives me some time to post on here, so let's recap.
The Keystone On Snow demo was Feb 10-12, and we hit up the demo on Feb 11. A shop that we frequent here in Denvuhs and another shop that wants me to ride for them both didn't have girls on their teams or working in the shop, so they both asked me to go to the Demo and try all the girls boards. In a nutshell, these are the boards I rode and my thoughts on them:
[x] K2 Fling 146 with K2 Auto Agogo - Loved this board!! I rode this one for like 3 hours
[x] Technine... something 144 with Rome Madison - God this board sucked ass. It was a womens park board, it was super soft when I flexed it with my hand, but when I rode, it felt stiff... like the flex was in all the wrong places
[x] Bataleon Distortia 147 with Rome Madison - Liked it, not bad. Felt like sandpaper when I did a box though but the box was probably fucked up
[x] Rome LoFi 140 with Ride Bandita - Board was OK, bindings were OK
[x] Omatic Benetar 144 with Union something (womens bindings) - Loved the board, hated the bindings, the toe strap kept slipping even though it was cranked all the way
[x] Rome Detail 143 with Rome Madison - Fun to jib with, was okay outside the park
[x] NeverSummer Pandora 146 with Rome Madison - LOVED THIS BOARD!! If it were softer, I'd totally buy this thing
[x] Gnu B-Nice 145 with Rome Madison - Board was OK, it was my first time on a magne/banana board and sometimes when I turned, it felt like I was stuck in the turn haha
I know I rode some other stuff but I can't remember... oh dear. Hahahahaha. I had my camera with me the whole time too, but never took pics. Oh well. The Demos were really fun, I met some new friends and saw some old friends. We just messed around all day, trying to see how the boards rode and stuff and it was really a lot of fun. I'm bummed the demos are over, I wanted to try out a bunch more boards.

no big B? love the layout of your blog.
Sorry I took FOREVER to respond! No internet owns me. No, I stood at the Big B tent, and I felt like a fucking retard because no one was helping me out, no one asked me, "Hey, you wanna try something?" and I couldn't just go and grab something... lol. I was just standing there gaping out. Same thing at the Ride tent, it's a wonder I even got the chance to demo the Bandita bindings. I just said fuck it and left after like 10 minutes standing there.
