Magnetraction


Magnetraction is a sidecut which really is one of the most exciting leaps forward in snowboard R&D! Like a serrated knife, Magnetraction (magtek, mag, Magna) cuts through ice and gives you incredible grip all the way through your turn. Magnetraction also means that you can run your edges dull, which means less hook ups on rails and less catching into and out of turns.

So what is Magnetraction?

Magnetraction is  a collection of seven strategically located and sized ridges along the edge of your snowboard. The biggest ridges are between your feet where your balance is centred, adding maximum control and power where you need it most. The ridges outside your feet are smaller and less aggressive, providing tip and tail control, while maintaining freestyle freedom.

Originally Magnetraction was exclusively available from Mervin manufactured snowboards, but at long last, this technology has now been out sourced to other key brands.

Smokin snowboards are one brand who has really utilised the Magnetraction edge system in all of their snowboards. The Smokin KT-22 is probably one of the finest freeride snowboards that money can buy, and exclusively features Smokins take on Magtek! All smokin snowboards are handmade and feature floorless aspen wood cores, which give the boards incredible pop and last a lifetime - hence why they offer an industry leading 3 year warranty on all of their snowboards!

The Best Fitting Helmets in The World!

Want the perfect fitting ski helmet? Nervous about buying helmets online because you're unsure how it'll fit? With the TSG Arctic Kraken you no longer need to be worried! It has a revolutionary fit system for ski and snowboard helmets which consists of several movable EPS sections. These are interconnected and covered under a flexible but tough outer-shell, allowing the helmet to totally mould and distort to the exact shape of your head!

This new method allows you to buy a snowboard helmet with confidence online, without trying the helmet on, knowing it will fit perfectly, no matter what shape your head is! The principle of the moving EPS sections also gives a much greater level of protection, as the shell is almost 'suspended' over your head giving more shock resistance and impact distribution. The helmets also look rad!
