Snowjam 75s

[865rolla]

First boards, no regrets. I went for the wide/short/light boards. And so far, they seem to manuever just as I want them to. They handle speed fine, they carve good, they don't get in the way... whole world of opportunity out there for them, as i expected.

only problem is I was too dumb to figure out how tight the bindings were supposed to be. Other than that, they're more than what I could ask for.

Oh, and the leashes are pieces of crap, snapped first time i released on the first day i rode. the plastic holding the strap is roughly half a centimeter thick & snaps right off if jerked.

hey guys.. i'm new to skiboarding, but i've tried a couple of different boards down groomers and in the park.. i bought the snowjam 75s from ebay for a crazy cheap price.. i noticed a couple of things about them..

overall they're pretty good.. they're pretty wide and a lot easier to land tricks on then the salomon 90s i was using before..

the only issues i really had were that they tend to over carve when cruising down a hill.. (does that make sense?) also the top layer is all banged up and ugly, but that's probably because of me falling so much in the pipe.. oh yea! the stock bindings they come with came loose fairly easily, but luckily there was a tool bench at the bottom of the park... just bring along the allen key they come with and make sure everything is tight before you use them..

other than that, they get a lot of attention from skiiers and boarders at that mountain.. i can't complain about them.. i guess i can't make any true comparisons until i try some longer skiboards.. hope that helps!

i had a problem when i got them with the bolts. but then i just tighted the hell out of them and had no more problems. if you still have problems, get some loc-tite so the bolts dont back out.

They don't overcarve. I don't think it's even possible. All it is is a pair of planks w/ blades on em. You think they got automatic steering? hehe - You overcarve. :) I have no problems with it. The tops do scratch really easy but who cares. Yer gonna scratch em up on rails anyway.

no.. you're right.. it's me that overcarves..

i did tighten the crap out of the bindings.. they didn't come loose the whole trip..

and you're right.. the loop leashes are complete crap.. i had tons of ice get jarred in one of the tiny leashes and it took a good 10 mins to the stupid thing off.. 10 minutes which could have been spent drinking a nice cold brew in the chalet.. boo to crap leashes..

I had to detune the tips and tails of mine cause of they get caught up when carving. I use loctitie for the screws or they come loose in a ocuple days. Overall I am very happy witht them for the low price. I have 75 and 90 SJ as well as a few other boards.

So how does the Snowjams 75cms and 90 cms compare fookisan? Pros and cons?
