Seems pretty crazy. Apparently the construction is standard except for the orientation of the glass. Flex down convex, flex up concave. Wow.

Wow. That's pretty freaking impressive. I wonder how consistent the tech is.
You carve, you carve, no slide.
With that tech you better know how to carve, cause if you try and slide it out, you're gonna get jacked.

That's so great. I've already thought of 3 different ways to do it

Seems like to me you would have to make the core super thin to get the kind of flex they advertise. Great idea and I would love to take a test ride on one of these but I bet they are pretty soft.

Unless you are jibbing on the park structures why would you want this?

Neat idea, but it seems it would rule out a whole style of riding. Any time you would want to flex the board under your feet and butter into something (or out) you'd be edge high
