A TBT snowboard is flat between the bindings with angled side bases that are lifted with gradually increasing angles. The uplift starts from flat in the binding area to a maximum increase at the widest point of the board. With the new updated TBT there is a slightextra uplift happening after the effective edge end to create an even looser feeling without sacrificing control.
Triple Base Technology divides the nose and tail area into 3 parts.
1. The left sidebase for turning left.
2.The center flat middle base for going straight
3.The right sidebase for turning right.
The side bases are lifted up with gradually increasing angles starting from flat in the binding area to a maxiumum uplift around the widest point of the tip and tail. The patented TBT shape is created by using special
shaped molds when pressing the final board. This means that TBT is happening top to bottom ( VIEW B to VIEW F ).
Base, core laminates, edges and topsheet of a TBT board are the same thickness as a traditional flat board. No material is taken out or shaved off. The lifted sidebases are combined with full tip to tail positive camber.
When the board is ridden and the riders weight is pressing down on the camber ( VIEW G ) the nose and tail are still loose at their widest points because of the dynamic edge rocker. Meanwhile the pressed camber loads your board with pop for a snappy edge to edge and explosive ollies.
N.B. some of the views on these pages have been slightly exaggerated to illustrate TBT better on this small scale.
