Ollie Bar
Pop comes pre-loaded
The Ollie bar is a totally new approach to adding pop to a snowboard. Built in place in a pre-loaded, cambered shape it solves the concern that rocker board don’t have the pop camber board have.Made with a secret layup of carbon, Kevlar and urethane layers, the ollie bar is positioned in the center of the board between the binding inserts. Strong ollies and pressing power doesn’t come from the tail alone. The backbone center section is actually more critical for smooth even pressure. You gotta try it to believe the pop.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
Well, after most of a season I'm finally going to reveiw my new, awesome board. I have the 2011 version and I'm not too sure how much this year's or 2013 will vary but there's no way they can improve very much. I bought this board super cheap ([$]) as a demo from the local ski/board place. There were already some dings on it from the previous season's use but I have already put some more on from grazing trees and rocks while OB. As many of the other reveiws of this and th Turbodream have already stated, the top-sheet dings really easily. Now, let's talk about how this thing handles. To start off, do NOT buy this as your first board. You will crash 3x more than your buddies on softer, flexier boards. This is the stiffest thing I have seen anyone on my mountain riding albeit some racing skis. I have trouble with rails because of this. But the reason you'd crash from the stiffness is how fast this turns, after riding my Anagram for three years, this was scary the first day out. It rides normally in powder but on groomed stuff it's almost as responsive as a carveboard. I ride burton cartels and I can put this board anywhere it'll physically fit. This will also drag you down the hill. The 0 sintered base is crazy fast. The harshmellow make mounting bindings a bit difficult but not too hard. Overall, if you're experienced and "Go big or go home" this is your choice.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
after riding various boards over the last 15 years (santa cruz, rossinol, and VH) I decided to switch to K2 and went all out. I bought the slayblade board, K2 cinch ctx bindings, and k2 maysis boots... I had to say the money was well spent. Amazing smooth ride even in icy condition, extremely responsive, and super fast.... It's totally worth spending the money!!!I cant wait till next year when i take this set up to canada and aspen!!!

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
This was only my second time snowboarding and it was snowing hard. 18 inches of fresh powder and just as advertised this board took it on with no problem. Even a beginner like myself can ride and grow with this board. It transitions so smoothly and speeds over the deepest fresh powder.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
This is my first board. I just took it on the slopes in Utah and the flatline was outstanding. I've tried regular camber boards and had little success. After a day of practice, I felt comfortable riding on just about anything save the back country blacks - of course, that's just me, not the board's fault. It handles the crud ok. Powder is where it shines. The faster you go, the better the board gets. The simple answer is, go slayblade flatline and never look back.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
Just used the board at Heavenly Lake Tahoe Dec 2010. Great all-mountain board with perfect flex. On groomers it held well and was very stable. First time in real powder between trees and had no problems. With the stiffer Burton Co2 bindings there is heaps of control and suited my downhill all mountain style of riding. Flatline base is not edgey on flat cat tracks which was a concern, if anything better then a cambered board. You will not regret buying this board!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
I am an intermediate rider and just bought my first professional board. The Slayblade.
I am using the board for powdering, tricks and all mountain riding and I really have to say that this board is just amazing. Very fast, stable and just perfect for powder and tricks.
I would not recommend this board to a beginner becaues the Flatline technology it is harder to navigate than a traditional camber or rocker board.
If you want a perfekt board for everything, which just looks great you will love the Slayblade.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Slayblade:
I just bought this as my first board along with Maysis boots and Auto bindings. I used them for the early season in Utah and the combo was amazing.
I've only been boarding a couple times with some cambered demo boards. There is NO COMPARISON. The flatline makes transitions like melted butter. Even as a beginner, I thought this board got me hard carving almost right out of the gate, something that those other boards couldn't seem to help with. In the pow, it was like riding on cotton candy and the faster, the better.
My only con has to do with how quickly it can get dinged up. Seems a shame considering how beautiful the Penguin graphics are.
