ROCKER & CAMBER Shape

ROCKER & CAMBER its old story

Opposite camber, flat, combination opposite and classic camber

The History of the LTB Rocker Construction

We had been producing reverse camber and flat-bottom models since 1988; in the 1990s, we switched to classic camber, which allowed for better edge control whilst riding. For riders who live for park riding and street jibbing, we offered a softer snowboard construction with a ROCKER shape. The use of new materials in snowboard construction has enabled us to return to the original reverse camber ROCKER shape for park boards. Various forms of reverse camber and their combinations cater to skate and jib riding styles. Riders expressed a need for a board that offered more fun. The Rocker revolution offered a softer construction with acceptable performance.The Rocker construction allows you to get to grips with the board very quickly and enjoy the ride. Models featuring this construction have a softer flex despite the board’s overall stiffness.

WHY ROCKER

Faster mastery of the board, more fun, less emphasis on performance and speed. It offers an easier and quicker response during ollies and when riding through turns, and riding switch is easier to control. Easier execution of tricks during jibbing, landings and when finishing a trick. Riding without ‘catching’ your edges or falling. More fun, playfulness and far easier and quicker board control.

WHY CAMBER

This construction is favoured by experienced and more demanding riders seeking performance and speed.

It allows for more precise and powerful transfer of weight and power to the edge. When carving a turn on the edge, significant acceleration is possible.

POWER ROCKER

A combination of classic CAMBER and ROCKER, with the lowest point of camber and board contact at the centre of the core; the widest points at the tip and tail are slightly higher than the centre.

This construction combines the characteristics of both concepts: camber beneath the bindings allows you to harness the board’s power in turns, whilst rocker enables an easy entry into the turn.

CAMBER

A classic construction with the highest point of camber in the centre of the core and the board making contact at the widest points of the tip and tail

NOSE ROCKER

Used on freeride-specific boards. A construction with the highest point of camber shifted towards the rear foot, and the board making contact at the tip beyond the widest point and at the tail at the widest point

A camber construction with a softer tip for powder snow.
