So I've stumbled upon these boards. I really like the design. I searched around the fish and couldn't find any info at all which is suprising. Whats the word on these boards?
that foamie is indeed one of the sexiest boards ever created.
I believe hopkin racing stock the wooden one pictured above, which has the essentially the same shape but a lot more weight.
The concave might be different too, some of martin's boards have less concave on the back compared to the front, if memory serves me.

"This board was designed in coorperation with Martin Siegrist (multiple downhill World Champion) !
The higher edges at both sides and the wide stance area allow you to ride faster than 100 km/h.
The board is dropthrough and the baseplate is fitted from the top. This allows you to have a distance to the asphalt of only about 7 cm.

agility: verry supinely
lenght: 103 cm

Yeah whats the construction? It's all in a language that babelfish can't translate. It is pretty exxy, like $260 AUD.
the language is German
his board was developed in co-operation with Martin Siegrist (repeated Downhill world champion). The Rennmaschine absolutely! On the right of and on the left of pulled up edges as well as the broad space occupied offer even at speeds over 100 km/h safe conditions. Drop through means that the axle is installed by the board (Baseplate from above, Hanger from downside) which puts the emphasis of the driver some more deeply. Operational area: Downhill agility: very slow-acting length: 103 cm Width: 25,5 cm Wheel base: 84 cm Concave: Yes Material: only wood Printing kind: Screen printing

it's swiss quality. you expect something swiss to be cheap?? whether not it is deserved, swiss stuff is generally damn expensive.
not to mention that it seems to go with the same trend of "ridiculously expensive" that airflow has going in the DH lineup. i think the foam core is 1000+?
