From precarious lines in the Swiss Alps to blasting stylish methods on Greenland icebergs, Gigi Ruf commands the attention of the shred world with his explosive riding style on natural terrain. The Slash ATV Snowboard is his board of choice for everything from gigantic jumps to big mountain lines, thanks to its reactive flex and responsive camber. Staying true to Gigi's hard charging style, the ATV features the scalpel like precision and stout snap of classic camber. It's a bit stiffer than most boards in Slash's line up, making it well suited for the technical freestyle rider taking their tricks to the steep spines, cliff drops, and big jumps of their local mountain. The ATV is slightly set back, giving you a slightly longer nose for straight line stability and added float, but without sacrificing its ability to stomp switch landings. Slash's Reactive Flex uses two unique types fiberglass types in combination with the specially profiled core to allow the board to flex across the width. When boardsliding a rail, for example, the edges bend upwards like a skateboard to prevent you from catching an edge. When carving a turn, it works the other way around. The board's edges flex downward, making for a concave base that adds extra grip. Keeping it extremely light without giving up full throttle response, the Forever Woodcore is comprised of four different wood types paulownia, spruce, beech, and poplar for a board that immediately reacts to rider input. Another high end feature are Buried Treasure additives of carbon, KEVLAR, and basalt fibers. These premium materials increase its snap and explosiveness when you're rallying the ATV off stacked pillows, burly cliff drops, and pro sized jumps. As expected with a board of this pedigree, the Sintered HD base features added carbon particles for a harder, more durable composition and faster glide.
