- Jeremy Jones is known by the whole word. Jones Snowboards, is expert at freeride and has the world's best freeride boards and split boardsFor me, this company is the best, absolute quality and authenticity. Many people from Russia to Canada agree with this opinion. In the last 15 years, there has not been a brand that has gained such an explosive popularity!
- This is the first time since the turn of the millennium that a truly authentic world champion snowboarder founded a company under his own name. The past 13 years have been more characterized by the large ski factories starting to produce "a dozen snowboards".
“I wanted to make dream boards,” Jones said, “and not for everyone. For advanced people.
- Your first choice may not be Jones. The second or the third. We wanted to revolutionize freeride snowboarding. When you stand on a board that you never dreamed existed, with which you far exceed your own limits, then you become excited and enthusiastic. (In any case, freeride boards sit on the bench of big companies, if we look at the fact that a big company offers 1 or 2 real freeride boards in its range.)
When we started working with Jones Snowboards, Pandora's box opened.
- The "W Rocker" structure development has new geometric formulas, swiss technology and 30 years experience Nidecker wood core It made boards, which hasnt been possible before. The development will suit the needs of the riders. Mountain Twinis a board for the ones who likes to jump and Hovercraftis a board for the ones who like steep mountains.
"Thanks to the many professional riders, designers and boarders who believed in us and helped us take the first steps! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We will take freeride and backcountry developments very seriously.” – Jeremy Jones – - www.jonessnowboards.com
1912. The first swiss ski
1963. The first fiberglass ski
1984. The first 50 piece of Nidecker snowboard
- It makes me a little sad if someone doesn't know Nidecker. It was founded in 1887. At that time, of course, it was still engaged in engineering and architectural woodwork. Nidecker is a proud example of precise Swiss work. Just like a Swiss watch or a Swiss army knife.
It is good to know that European snowboarding originates from the Alps, on the Swiss-French border. HOT, HAMMER are "A" Snowboards (APO) from the French side, while Nidecker is from the Swiss side. Nidecker created the first ski in Switzerland in 1912. 1963 it made the first 50 piece of Nidecker snowboards, and then it become history. - Nidecker's test centers are located in Chamonix and Verbier, which are perhaps the best-known freeride centers in Europe. Mt Everest was riden with Nidecker.. Nidecker Legendwas used to win Europe most famous freeride competition, the Verbier Extrem.
- Nidecker helped create serious companies such as YES or Jones Snowboards. Nidecker has a company nearby which also produce fiberglass, and composite to NASAI am sure that among the really big factories, Nidecker has the most accurate, detailed, and disciplined production technology. They know a lot about wood (125 years of experience!), gluing, and composites. The material is not spared from the board. Last year, Nidecker bought HAMMER and HOT, so the 3 companies continue to operate under the Nidecker name, with an even bigger selection and even better wood cores. A slightly cool Swiss design with lots of elegant black and unquestionable quality.

RIDE Snowboards
- The brand was founded in Redmond, Washington in 1992. It started with only 4 board types. The goal was to create a technically very innovative, high-quality snowboard company. Even the first product line was liked by the top and up-and-coming competitors. The hard work and the agile advertising campaign brought immediate success. In order to meet the growing demand for snowboarding and skateboarding clothing, a clothing company was founded in 1994, as CHAPEL (We already imported it to Hungary in 1996.) The clothing company RIDE later grew out of this, which is a brilliant fusion of sporty, youthful street fashion and a snowboard line.
- In 1995 the company moved to Prestion and it started the PRESTON brand of bindings. Which has been a unique name in the snowboard market.–The aluminum bindings, now manufactured under the name RIDE, have become market leaders and are constantly winning awards as the lightest, most durable and most responsive (feedback controllability) bindings. RIDE's success is also outstanding in terms of sales: there was a year when 52% of the entire American market bought RIDE bindings.
- They also produced snowboard boots - modestly at the beginning. But the shoe development program, which was renewed in 1995, really outgrew itself and became an award-winning collection. RIDE shoes are now characterized by revolutionary design features. The lightest shoes in the world and the shortest boots on Earth in terms of capacity. The only shoe brand that has shaped the anatomy of the human heel on the outside. It was introduced by RIDE, which adjusts from body heat to feet INTUITIONtechnology and it is holding the heels perfectly
- In 1995 it bought the famous factoryThermal Snowboards Inc.) The success came after that. RIDE Manufacturing used for the first time State-of-Art technologyState-of-the-art technology was introduced during production and testing. It soon made it one of the most modern snowboards on the market. RIDE, now a giant company, also built a new factory in Asia and doubled its production capacity. Quantity did not come at the expense of quality, in fact: they continue to create industry-leading equipment, bringing out technological innovations one after the other: Carbon Array, Membrain cover sheets and PopRods technology. The company recently moved to Seattle and continues to be a "distinctive face" brand on the global market.
"RIDE is a huge company, but it's not about being the biggest, it's about being the best at what we do, and our goal is to remain a truly great snowboard brand," says Ben, the company's director.
According to a demographic survey, 80% of RIDE snowboarders in the USA snowboard 11-30 days per season, and 20% snowboard 50 days. How interesting that the official average is only 9 days in a season. - www.ridesnowboards.com
K2 Snowboards

SLASH Snowboards

Christian "Gigi" Rüf was born recently, only in October 1981, yet he is the most famous Austrian professional snowboarder. He became a well-known and well-loved icon due to his unique and creative style. His most famous films are now considered benchmarks. He was part of the famous Burton UNINC TeamAfter the team separated, the company VOLCOM supported Gigi as main sponsor, to make a pro board. During the long cooperation, the SLASH snowboard brand was created by them. Furthermore Gigi was sponsored by Nike and Dragon and other pro borads was made by him as well. Ohh and also he is the winner of the Winter X-Games Hm... - www.slash snow.com
YES Snowboards
- The founders of the YES Snowboard are the 4 star rider: Romain de Marchi, DCP, JP Solbergand Tadashi Fuse. This team wants to redefine what it means to be a freestyle snowboarder.
Many professional snowboarders stood behind them, sympathizing with the fact that real, authentic riders could finally have a free hand in designing a board. The team quickly achieved significant results in the American market, and today YES is one of the most recognized professional snowboard brands worldwide. - www.yes snowboard.com
ROME Snowboards USA
-
Rome snowboards The story of Rome snowboards is similar to the rise of Yes or Jones snowboards. Here too, two key professional people felt that snowboarding had stagnated and that their parent company, Burton, was no longer representing the “cultural revolution” of snowboarding. Instead, they produced mediocre products, supported by heavy advertising from professional Olympians.
Josh Reid and Paul Maravetz were not just anyone at the Burton company: they were responsible for production and product development as well as marketing. In 2001, they left the Burton company and founded their own company ROME SDS in Waterbury, USA.
Their goal was to maintain the original cultural mission of snowboarding. The “philosophical aspects of snowboarding brands are more important than in other industries,” says Josh.
Since then, Rome has become history, countless test-tested products, design innovations, and incredibly demanding graphic development have made their way through life.
The Rome Katana binding has been among the TOP3 freeride bindings in the world for years.
Like Burton, this is also a very complex snowboard company, it has made a lasting impact in snowboard boots, boards and bindings.
“Snowboarding cannot be reformed” Paul Maravetz (an obvious reference to the more rebellious days of early snowboarding).

- The most famous and best quality french snowboarding.
In addition to Hammer, it produces the most dynamic snowboard core in the world. They use the same two different birch materials as the Burton. Since Apo - after ten years of cooperation - has split from Hammer, the geometry of their boards is very similar. They use similar technology to K2 snowboardBut due to the better wood core, it is noticeably easier to board with them. Their most characteristic character is the board that flexes from the front leg to the nose. Because of this, they turn easily and all their models can be used well in deep snow. - Apo's snowboard equipment is among the lightest in the world. You can see everywhere in France Apo Amanit Limitedor Apo Lineboards. It was the snowboard of the year in England, and the most popular French snowboard in America. Last year's junior world champion used Apo Talentto win

- The APO Freestyle skis are in the market since 2007. French and canadian pro freeride and freestyle skier was helping in the development. Their structure is determined by the wood core of Apo snowboards. Apo only produces premium freestyle skis. Because of this reason the freestyle skiis are subject to more than average stress - boxes, barriers or all mountain.

- The Hammer Europe oldest snowboard company. It was registered as HOT in 1983 in France. His alpine boards win world cups every year. Hammer produces the only snowboard in the snowboard world which is skateboard-type. The company developed the worlds smallest torsio of wooden corewhich is a unique technology. G3 wooden core was also developed by them. The only company which uses mahagonian woodin their core.
- They developed the world's best freeride board the Stream The only freeride snowboard with a large nose, whose side has an elliptical curve, the nose has a huge buoyancy, which makes it particularly maneuverable both in deep snow and on the track. This snowboard is so proven that it's Alaskan King Of The Hilllegend Cyril Neri is riding this board for several years.

- Next to Nitro, Trans is the other big German brand, but it has a significantly more favorable price. Features: very good equipment compared to the prices, high-quality glass fibers, excellent sole materials. In my opinion, the wood core is of medium quality, just like the other German companies. The graphics are also typically German. The male boards has a lot of skulls, which is popular in Germany. The female boards looks very good as well. Among the men's models, we bring only one spectacular all-mountain model and a very reasonably priced, widened model (recommended for people with big feet). In summary: sandwich boards with very good equipment - at outlet prices!

Bataleon snowboard
- Bataleon Snowboards was founded in the Netherlands in 2000 by a 44-year-old biophysicist, Jorgen Karlsen. As a highly intelligent individual, Jorgen fell in love with snowboarding and spent years studying snowboarding and how the board behaves at different speeds. This is how the 3BT (triple base technology/spatial spoon nose) concept came to life. This made Bataleon the world's first snowboard to produce a three-dimensional, spoon-shaped snowboard nose.
Despite many efforts, none of the big companies believed in the success of this technology. After a few months of searching, Jorgen found three professional snowboarders who were very enthusiastic about 3BT and decided to create a unique snowboard company together. it resembles a boat floating in the sea. All Bataleon Snowboards boards are made in Austria (Capita factory) with unique graphics and special attention to detail, and Jorgen continues to study snowboarding and constantly improve the already brilliant 3BT technology. - Today, Bataleon is one of the world's leading and one of the most exclusive and professionally recognized snowboard companies. More and more large companies are trying to follow his example - by developing their own 3D nose (Jones, Rome, Nidecker, THE Snowboards, Burton)
People don't usually associate Amsterdam with snowboarding, but Dennis Dusseldorp and Danny Kiebert have run Bataleon from the Dutch capital for nearly two decades and have grown Low Pressure Studio into a major player in the industry. Their shared passion for snowboarding and general love of board sports took them all over the world, but when it came time to settle down and build a business together, they decided on their native Netherlands. - Bataleon snowboard movies:
After ten years of creating Beyond Medals video projects, Tor Lundstrom and Kevin Backstrom have solidified their position in the industry. Bataleon has been working with Tor since day one and is a proud supporter of Beyond Medals. Bataleon management recently sat down with Tor to talk about filmmaking, launching an outerwear brand, and plans for the future. - https://bataleon.com/
