Robert Brock-Kraebel –
These things are beasts! and im not a big guy, at
6’2, 135 lbs (yeah im mad skinny, its annoying). So
i had my doubts about how well id be able to
handle the condors.
Well, as everyone knows, there was mad pow in the
east coast tonight. About a foot or so. Perfect
opportunity to bring out the Condors.
I strapped them on at the lift, and took a deep
breath as i boarded the lift, to a comment of "where
in the world did you buy those snowblades, they’re
massive" from the lift operator.
I got to talking to a snowboarder on the lift, who
was in awe of the size of the condors, and he was
interested in seeing the rest of the boards. I gave
him a business card and told him there were many
pictures on the forums of most of the boards. Now
it was windy going up, and the wind was catching
under the boards and pushing them up, the
condors were wanting to fly. I exited the lift, and
traversed a little on the way to "green/blue" runs,
which were covered in powder and basically, skier
mad moguls, piles of powder that were pushed by
boarders and skiers, then packed down by people
going over them, then more powder on top. They
were so much fun. I would hit one, pop up my tips,
have my tails be planted, then bounce into another
one. The flex on these made for fun shredding in
the powder. There was also a steeper trail that
most of the powder blew off. I wanted to see how
they would handle steep hard pack. I was surprised,
i kept them mostly on edge, and the hold was
tremendous, no skidding out or chattering, just
bouncing over the occasional powder pocket, and
carving up the hard pack. They went above and
beyond my expectations on hard pack. But where
these behemoths really opened up on the powder.
These condors have gone above anything i couldve
ever thought they would do. I was using my height
to really drive into carves, and really ride these
aggressively, which they responded to amazingly. If
i had any advise for riding therse, it would be stay
on edge and carve, and really put your weight into
it. Thanks Brett Connor for the inspiration and help
with choosing the condors. Great all around board.
