Head Intelligence Snowboard

[Helmut Karvlow]

Head has a new Board that uses Intellifibers,( used in Army helicopter blades) it can senses the mountain terrain and aggressiveness of the rider. if it is soft or powder the board is flexible.on ice it becomes stiff. how it works; the fibers generate energy from vibrations that is picked up by a microchip between the bindings, from there the microchip amplifies the impulses and sends them back to the intellifibers, which stiffen the board accordingly. all in .005 seconds. all mountain- free ride board. $579 bones. Too much crap for me, just get me my MADD 170!:p

That sounds cool. I hear they use this technology on airplane wings to keep them from flapping when people move around in the cabin. Pretty awesome technology, can't wait to try it.
