The other day came a new unusual kaytovy snowboard firm Mash (http://www.mashsnowboards.com) December 17, I felt it on the lake Shartash. Board consists of the usual bottom boards, short boards from the top (it fixed mounting). Boards are connected by a hinge in the middle and two inflatable cylinders on each side. Cylinder shall be a bicycle pump for air forks (it comes with the board). Board turned heavily, of course. But in general, as it looks to see photo.

So to test the board.
Once I went there were not many are not accustomed to balance out the fact that the relationship with the snow is not hard.
But used in 5 minutes.
Board is прыгучая, Ollie is higher than the normal board. Jumping calf above. Landings are very soft, despite the fact that there was ice! Ice does not feel like going through the snow.
Is it possible to speed very much on the ice, compared with conventional snowboard no general these brain twisting strokes from irregularities on the ice (air shock absorber all hawala)
Zarezanie board is very cool! Since ice does not tear, is finite the sharp edge is important, but it seems to me that here is helping more and this air shock, it just removes the critical load to the board at which just happens tearing planks from the surface.
Shoes in general no longer possible to cling to the snow, tk they are high off the ground. Boards can be very strongly curved, with no disruption to the surface.

One negative that I noticed. Because of the shock absorber connection with the board not become rigid on this and there are possible disadvantages. Riding in the blind normal, but vrapt as it is much harder (begins to deploy back) with the usual board easier these elements.

Conclusion:
Board is good for ice, high speeds. Jumping and zarezaniya before jumping very good. Less than precise handling. The first test took place on ice. How will behave in the snow is another story.
