Tendency Of the Market Season 97/98
The last two seasons have not been easy (meteorologically speaking) but
the forecasts for the market are rather rosy: it is foreseen in fact an
increase for the next 5 years, of 20-25%, around that will have followed
from a phase of arrangement. For how much it concerns the tendency of the
next season I concern to the orientation alpine or freestyle it is a matter
of geographical areas. In Japan and in USA tables are for example sold
exclusively by Freestyle! Also here in Europe, after a light preponderance
of the style Alpine in the past years the freestyle is emerging, even if,
analyzing them single national realities, can find very different situations.
The houses builders seem more and more busy in the search of light and
resistant materials that they allow so one more easy management and resistance
to the impacts with the snow.
The shapeses have also evolved, you try to confontare a table of 3-4 years
ago with a new (an object of antiquariato will seem you). They have diversified
for favoring how much more possible styluses and eventually to create of
it of the others. Novelty of relief of this season will be the presence
in many catalogs of a lot of houses builders of the first tables drawn
for an use in Border Cross , the new discipline of the circuit, besides
very spectacular, that consists in the to compete contemporarily with more
adversaries on a footstep with lines of beaten snow, humps, jumps, doors
etc.. Then of the tables how much never versatile for an use under all
the conditions and for all the styluses. It seems abandoned idea, considered
winning actually to the trail season, of the tables Alpin asymmetrical
a little stable retentions in the trajectories (personally I think her/it
a commercial movement: double project, double die, double acquisition for
the dealer... .doppi costs in short).
In remuneration, always within the Alpin style, symmetrical tables are
built more and more holds that besides to also favor a great stability
to sustained speed, they allow inversions of edge the fulmicotone. And
the Graphics? You give birth to from brains.... particular. There is not
that the embarrassment of the choice, even if it seems that there has been
a definite taking of conscience of who sport it practises (that last are
not certain unprovided) that....
... ..Non is alone a beautiful graphics that makes a good Snowboard!!
