The Villain Snowboard 2020

TERRAIN: Park & Freestyle

FLEX: Medium

SHAPE: True Twin

PROFILE: Rock Out Camber

Blending all three profiles for one FUN freestyle ride! The Rock Out Camber has you standing on a flat platform for ultimate stability. Outside your bindings is the camber section that provides control and amazing lift on your ollies. Then you have rocker under the contact points for the forgiveness and just enough loosening to make the most of any hit, jump or feature you want to play on. This profile is an in-resort allrounder if ever there was one.

I rode The Villain with this profile and I had a hard time giving it up during the demo because I was able to get insane edge hold and really great height on my jumps.

SIDECUT: Quadralizer

The amazing blend of straight and curved edges is the Quadralizer! Lengthening the amount of edge in contact with the snow, you ride with superior confidence and control.

CORE TYPE:

Aspen SLCT

Hand selected from FSC Certified sources, this Aspen core is super light and dependable.

CONSTRUCTION:

Popster Booster

Making the board thicker and thinner is specific places creates extra strength and extra flex in just the right spots. What do you get?? Extra ollie power, smoother edge to edge transitions and more freestyle fun! This gets beefed up with carbon stringers laid in a V centred on your bindings and reaching out to the contact points.

TRIAX

Three-directional fiberglass for extra durability, and way more life in your board

 BA MD

The fiberglass is medium density to keep the board light and extra lively!

Slingshot

Inlaid carbon rods store your energy then release it when you demand it! Like when you ollie, or push your speed to the max!!

Freestyle Edge Bevel

We’ve taken the edge off! De-tuned from the get-go for catch-free fun.

BASE MATERIAL: Sintered EG

A smooth sintered base for superior glide, beefed up with an Electra Finish for amazing glide. Add in the Gallium and the durability and strength is something to behold!
