Bataleon - Distortia (08/09)

Test Location & Conditions:

Shred Betties Says:

Testers thought that the TBT (Triple Base Technology) made this board feel really smooth in turns, and for boxes and rails.  It handled on all of the terrain we tested it on fairly well, and would be a good all-around board.  It was especially fun for buttering down the slope, popping off of everything, cruising around, and was stable on smaller jumps.

Stay tuned!  This board will be tested throughout the season to see how it performs.

Bataleon Says:

Give me diamonds and fur. You can keep the butterflies and flowers. Girls, you know what you want. You ride the same park, hit the same rails and jumps, so you don’t want a completely different setup than the boys. Right?
You do want it a bit narrower as you don’t have big stinking feet like they do (maybe you have small stinking feet, but that’s oke). And a bit more flex cuz you don’t have their heavy beer gut (or maybe you do, but that’s oke too).
So, we made this for one you. The boy’s board with a bit more flex and a bit narrower waist. And yes, you can rock wide stances on this… Try it, you will want nothing else.
