 REVIEW:
STOP PLAYIN’ START SLAYIN’

Slay everything that gets in your path with wicked power. It’s like a switchblade on the snow. Top it off with a slick Original Penguin™ design collab and the Slayblade era has begun!

New for 2009/10, the Slayblade is the next step in all terrain freestyle high performance. Two years in the making, the Slayblade is the ultimate tip-of-the-hat to the legendary Zeppelin that defined All Terrain versatility for the last 13 years.

Original Penguin™ styling meets Hybrilight construction for an ultra lightweight, yet refined, board/graphic package. Integrated Harshmellow dampens the vibrations and cushions landings allowing you to constantly push your speed and open up the bag of tricks. Add Flatline Technology for the perfect balance of power and playfulness and you have the most technologically advance, highest performing ATLAS arsenal ever assembled to slay the mountain.

 

Mammoth Mountain, CA, Stratton, VT, Mission Ridge, WA, Boyne Mountain, MI, Snowbasin, UT, and Keystone, CO played host to our on-hill investigation as we queried more than a hundred riders to find their picks from literally thousands of demoed models, and when the final votes were in, we whittled it down to the top three men’s and the number-one women’s ride. This is SNOWBOARDER Magazine’s 2009 Best of Test Men’s #3, the K2 SlayBlade. Read up and learn.

“The Slayblade was a fun board also using the zero-camber idea. It had a slightly different shape and sidecut, but had a similar feel to the Rook except a little bit stiffer. It still was fun, though, and could rail.”
-Jeff Perry, Milosport (Salt Lake City, UT)

“Flatline technology—it’s crazy weird, it’s a whole new technology, but I like it. It keeps contact with the base the entire time. It’s solid.”
-Matt, MC Sports (Grand Rapids, MI)

“The new Flatline tech is great; the board felt like I had already logged fifteen days on it and was broken in. The shape and sidewall cut were similar to the Burton Method, but the board was much snappier and carved extremely well. The [light] weight of the board riding up the lift was noticeable, too—the lifts at Snowbasin are long, and by the end of John Paul with some decks my left leg was asleep, but I didn’t get that with the Slayblade.”
-James Ritchey, Backcountry.com (Salt Lake City, UT)

 

The Zeppelin is dead - Long live the K2 Slayblade

The K2 Zepplin is no more! The board that built K2’s reputation as a quality snowboard manufacturer has been fased out of the 2010 range…or has it?

I’m afraid Snowboard-Review has some sad news for all the K2 Zeppelin heads out there. For as long as I can remember the Zeppelin has been the main alternative to the infamous Burton Custom for those wanting a ‘do anything’ all-mountain snowboard. K2 have decided that the Zeppelin’s long reign as the anchor of their range has ended. But every cloud has a silver lining. And in this case it comes in the form of K2’s latest entry to the Freestyle ‘hit anything’ market…I introduce to you, the Slayblade!

Featuring K2’s Flatline technology (a zero camber profile, that gives you the broken-in feel of a seasoned deck with the pop of a board straight out of the factory) and the Harshmellow damping system underfoot to eradicate those unwanted vibrations associated with pushing the envelope. The Slayblade sounds like it’ll offer the perfect package for an intermediate to advanced rider looking to step it up this year.
