This last minute change of no concave have left me in a wierd spot.

I was 100% sure that i was gonna by the Smage board before the change, then i though i could buy the red teamboard instead cause it's the nicest looking one but..
I still have a brand new revo at home, and the teamboard is a step down from the revo so that would be a bad buy but i don't really wanna ride a revo this year, you should've kept the concave.

How in any way is this year's team board a step down from the revolution? Truth be told I skated my team board mostly last year because I preferred it over my revolution.

Why not just get a team board with a concave kit if that's what you really want?

Wow, these boards look sick, I want the Alan pro model!! Looks like a smooth and stable ride

if i stick with the concave kit, is it gonna mess me up? will i be wishing i didn't have it?

[domk]

Yeah it will eat you and the board will explode.

Simple, this years teamboard has HDPE, the revo has UHMW-PE.

I think i'll keep the revo and get some concave for it, that way i don't have to spend that much money.

Just letting you all know we updated the media page with the photoshoot gallery. It contains a bunch of other images so it's definately worth checking out. http://www.ambitionsnowskates.com/media/2010-photoshoot/

Actually, although the team boards feature HDPE vs UHMW on last year's Revolution, they are still quite a step up. We now use a different grade of material, which we finish up just like snowboards. This gives even better gliding performance and durability. The grooves are also even sharper and deeper, which makes a great difference with control. Another main difference is the shape, which definately pops and flips much better. Surely feels more like a skateboard, and everyone that has tried them as off now were stoked on the difference. The die-cut also pops out so well that it makes you feel like your board is such a step higher. I guess it's mental, but it actually feels like you're riding a legit board. Oh and they are noticably lighter too!

The Revo is an excellent snowskate though, and I don't mean to say you should buy a board if yours is still brand new. Mainly just pointing it out for everyone on here.

I know I've already adressed your issues by e-mail and personal messages, but I'll still answer your questions publicly for others to see. The concave is very easy to apply, simply peel off the old grip, screw into your board and then add a new layer of foam grip (comes with the kit). But what you have to understand is that we are not just selling optional kits for you to buy and install them yourself. The idea is that we don't recommend using it, and would rather give you a refund for the difference as everyone at Ambition feels the boards are better without it. Our team regroups some of the best snowskaters worldwide, so although you might be skeptical, you should definately take their word in consideration.

Oh and thanks to all for the positive feedback!

I have a question about the New Pro Models. So these things are just straight up the single best boards ever in every way right? They're lighter, stronger, and they look nice. I'm mainly wondering about the base used. So it's UHMW, that's all good, but what about the grooves. You switched from a 7 groove pattern which was put in place because it tracks well. How does the 5 groove base compare to the 7 in terms of stability and control, also how does it fair speed wise?

I decided to ditch the concave. And on an unrelated note, I convinced my friend to buy a new Gerlach board with xtreme grip.
