Rock Boarding
|
slalom competition, a jumping contest was implemented in the year 2000 event. The competitors jumped already summersaults and full spins.
Surprisingly the wear of the boards underside is not of a big deal. Since the force is spread throughout all the engaged rocks, only small burs and scratches will be left on the board. Therefore, the equipment can be used many times. To prevent the board from the mentioned damages, some diehard Boarders are bolting a thin sheet metal under the snowboard. However, the drawback is that the board will be slower.
