I rode my friend’s in Colorado and immediately bought my own Capita Black Death Speed ​​​​Tribe upon returning to Ohio. There aren’t a lot of races in my state, and even fewer terrain parks, but I travel a lot, so I thought the investment would be worth it, and it definitely was! Hands down, this is the coolest board I’ve ever flown (yes, flown) over the top of the mountain.

Capita put a lot of technology into this board, and my vendor ran it all for me, but I’m not impressed in many words, I’m impressed by the performance. My Black Death snowboard is pure speed on ice – on my first run no one could catch me downhill. But the board is freestyle so I took it down to the tube and after half an hour all the girls were giving me looks (I don’t think it was the design of the board either) as I started doing the highest ollies of my life . The landings were good, but I embarrassingly fell on a couple of them because I wasn’t used to falling from that high (I’m not a steep guy, so the highest I get is bursting the pipe or jumping off a snow ramp). Still, this is definitely a wicked board and I guess someone more advanced than me would get even more excited.

One of the best things about this board is that it holds up well to many landings, no matter how botched. He also held a very good line in tight turns, which was more important after doing my turns. He didn’t get me a date, but he definitely made me shine and I intend to take him back to Colorado when I visit my friend again later this year, and this time, I’ll be able to keep up with him! Great board, can’t say enough about it, and somehow the name Capita Black Death Speed ​​Tribe is incredibly inspiring when you’re ready to hit the slopes.
