It's hard to say that you can order snowboards from books, but with this ZEROS, it seems that the time has come when you can really make your own signature model.
A snowboard whose graphics greatly affect the impression of the board.However, there must have been a lot of borders who were dissatisfied with the fact that they could only choose from the designs that had already been decided. ZEROS provides an opportunity to express yourself.
The performance of the board is also with origami of a professional snowboarder, the specifications can be selected, and the option to change the sole material is also available, but the price is said to be from the 6 yen level (excluding tax). The settings should resonate with the hearts of snowboard freaks.
I decided to explore what kind of system it is and what it can do.
Satoshi Shimada, who is familiar with SBN, is a professional snowboarder who always praises snowboarders, saying, "It is important to express your personality with snowboarding."I sympathize with this project from early on and participate as a promotion / advisor.
"It's okay to make a matching board with your team and playmates, or you can make a special gift. Anyway, the place where you can express yourself freely is to" enjoy snowboarding ". I think it's perfect for the image. Snowboarding is a sport of play, so it puts a lot of weight on how much fun you can slide. In that respect, you can definitely get the board you want with this system. But you're really looking forward to going to the slopes? That kind of high feeling is reflected in the absolute slip. "

“Enjoying snowboarding” is a starting point that must not be forgotten.The "fun" is likely to spread even more than ever.But what about the performance of snowboarding, which is the basis of that fun?A long time ago, I heard a similar complaint that "snowboards can be ordered", but I remember that I didn't hear a very good voice in terms of quality. What about ZEROS?
"Your own snowboard" and "there is only one in the world" are important boards that are meaningful to that person (creator). ZEROS has a production system at its factories in Japan in order to carry out high-level quality control.
In addition, the color of the sidewall material can be selected from XNUMX colors, and the material of the sliding surface can be selected from XNUMX patterns according to the user's level.This is ZEROS's "work" that cannot be done without a system to create manufacturing specifications after receiving an order and produce one by one.
Let's introduce the commitment of ZEROS.
As introduced above, ZEROS is very particular about not only the design but also the quality of the board.So this time, we asked Mr. Satoshi Shimada, who is also involved in R & D of ZEROS board and is good at jib, and Mr. Katsuhiko Gomi, an all-mountain rider who is an editor of SnowBoarder editorial department and a coach at JWSC, to test drive the 04/05 model. , I was asked to talk about the performance of ZEROS.

"Twin-tips are good because they can slide smoothly even with a switch, but this board is attractive because it is arranged in a modern way while keeping the characteristics of such twins. It's thick, but you can step on it firmly, and the kicker. I think you can feel the ease of handling even with a box or a box. It is highly recommended for those who want to master the jib system, and even if a person who has played down with various boards rides, it will meet expectations more than enough. By the way, it's a board that can do whatever you want, so it feels like you should bring it to the current snowboarding scene. "

"In a word, it's an interesting board. The feeling of riding was very light and it was easy to control. I think that it is a little unsatisfactory for riders who want to enjoy riding at high speed, but it feels like riding on the slopes. It's a good model for riders. It's one that can handle a wide range of people from beginners who want to learn various tricks to advanced players who want to play with grand tricks and jib. Also, since you can design your own graphics, there is only one in the world. It's also attractive to have a board that doesn't exist. "

ZEROS offers multiple graphic production methods to meet the various needs of creators.You can make it yourself, or you can buy the design if it's a hassle.Even if you select and purchase a design drawn by a graphic designer, you can add a name or message to a predetermined part called free space, which is interesting.
By the way, in the case of Mr. Tateishi, of course, the software that he creates and uses is Adobe Illustrator.

<How to make a Hidehiko Tateishi-style signature board>
When I decided to make an original design snowboard with zeros this season, the design concept was decided immediately.That is "prevention of global warming" that I really feel as a snowboarder.I don't think there is a public framework for global warming prevention other than COP, but if there is something I can do as an individual, I would like to do that as well.So, I think it's "recycling".That's why this year's design theme is "recycling."

As Mr. Tateishi said, it is often difficult to decide when to make it because it is difficult to "adjust" to make a cool graphic.Like Mr. Tateishi, you can decide the theme clearly and express it in your own way, you can use many colors to make it flashy, or you can make a simple board with one color, and vice versa. May stand out.But I'm not a professional, so it's best to design as you like.
You can make "one in the world" or "your own" snowboard, but ZEROS is a product that comes with a lot of other values.In a nutshell, it's all about "creating new fun."
I think it's a perfect item for snowboarders who are tired of "now" and want to go "one step ahead".
