Stepchild JP Walker Snowboard

JP's newest twin pro model has updated impact absorbing park formula sidewalls and a snag free base. This board comes with Zero camber and a Kicker III core that is reinforced with Kevlar strips for a stable flex pattern that will last. The Armadillo plate binding reinforcement will keep the inserts in check against blowouts. With a whopping 28 inserts in this board, you should be able to mount any stance you want. Like JP, this board can destroy anything from park to street rails to powder.

The 2011-2012 Stepchild JP Walker Snowboard key features:

Zero Camber - This board is flat with no rocker and no camber. This profile is great for all kinds of riding conditions, from rails to powder.

Kicker III Core - This is a poplar wood core with beech rails and beech insert strips. Tip-to-tail fully computerized milled and profiled poplar core gives a smooth and consistent flex pattern. The denser Beech wood re-enforced rails give the board stable edge control and a poppy flex. The insert strips are for compression strength where the corners of the bindings normally crush the wood core. Stepchild uses 4 strips of high-density beech to increase the strength in this critical zone.

Kevlar Strips - Kevlar is a lightweight material known for its strength. Stepchild has added Kevlar strips to the whole length of the JP board to give it more pop in the flex. The Kevlar will also help you get more days of riding with a lively and consistent flex because no one likes to ride a dead board.

Armadillo Plate - A diamond shaped extra layer of fiberglass is placed over the inserts to help prevent insert blowouts. The unique diamond shape strengthens the board around the inserts without interrupting the flex pattern.

Park Formula Sidewalls - These sidewalls are made of a material known as Philan which is lighter and harder than rubber but provides very similar impact absorption. It is much like the material used in a skateboard bushing. The park formula sidewall is meant to take a serious beat down.

Snag Free Base - These bases are hardened in the press by a temperature control system that cooks the base harder as it sandwiches the board. The base material comes out of the press much harder than it went in. Snag Free bases have no die cuts or joints in the base material which is usually how the board will snag.
