![]() ![]() Overall Impression: For those wanting a softer jib board this can make the mountain and park a lot of fun. Shay’s Yay or Nay: Yay, it’s a solid board underneath the graphic. Shay Says: Price is on the high end but cheaper than last year and a better boardīest for: Progressive park riding for a female Its grown on me after the first day of riding it, it’s become my park board that I can take on the boxes, take on hardpacked groomers and then take into the pipe. Honesty Box: I’ve spent the remainder of the season riding the cadence as my main park board which has been perfect for park laps and it’s being waxed up for Mt Hood this summer. It’s still capable of the mountain riding but definitely a park focus that it is described as and now rides like. ![]() Last year when I rode it, it was on the mid level for stiffness but the park system gives it a more playful feel to how it handles the mountain. Overall Impression: Arbor gave the cadence the park system for 10-11 and it’s an upgrade that makes the cadence an even better park ride.

I wear size 8 womens snowboard boots and feel comfortable riding both men’s and women’s bindings.I am a regular rider with a 22 inch width, +15, -15 stance angles.I am 5’6″ and typically ride a 156cm for my all mountain board, my powder board is a 161cm and my park board is a 151cm.I’m progressing my park experience with boxes/rails. I am a freerider (I ride trees, powder, steeps, groomers, natural terrain) and I ride halfpipe.I’m coming up on my 17th season snowboarding.If you have a specific snowboard you would like to be reviewed please request it in the comment section. Each review is judged by the same standard and for the majority of reviews I used my own boots (some exceptions). This review will be updated throughout the season as I demo and test more 10/11 snowboards. The majority of snowboard reviews were a mix of rocker/reverse camber from various companies and a smaller percentage were camber. So far I’ve rode a total of 31 2010-2011 snowboards: 23 men’s boards and 8 women’s boards. If you want to know more about how the reviews are done, check out my behind the reviews post. This year I found myself at the on-snow demo, other demo days and ended up on a handful of boards before they’d come out to the public. Each season I hit the slopes to review the boards you want and as the only reviewer, you know what to expect when the review gets posted up. It’s always fun to get to try out so many different boards each season from mens to womens, camber to reverse camber, freestyle to freeride.
