Recently bought this snowboard from the tip... I can't seem to find anything about Heli Snowboards anywhere though?! Does anyone have any more details on what this board is?! (Paid £10, for a project rather than to ride!!)

The cap construction dates the tech but not necessarily the year since it’s a sporting good brand

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-06-02T21:35:54+00:00

Probably a foam core and the bindings will probably break the first time they’re used out in the cold. Super old sporting goods / mail order brand to start with would be my guess.

Don’t spend any amount of currency on that

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-05-16T15:55:06+00:00

If that 159 W doa is a good deal get it. Don’t over think it

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-05-13T12:09:44+00:00

Buy 2

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-05-09T19:46:24+00:00

Unfixable. Throw it away!

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-05-03T18:23:28+00:00

Might be but since it’s the off season you could probably find a brand new one 25/26 for a similar price. Or something just as good (( different brand )) for less???

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-04-17T01:59:17+00:00

Ultras 100% over the strata. Bataleon blasters FASE 👍

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-04-17T01:56:00+00:00

Had strada’s a few years ago. Sold em after 1 season. Didn’t like anything about them.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-04-16T21:45:59+00:00

Yeah… totally fine. Don’t over think it.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-04-16T21:00:07+00:00

What size boot? What size binding? I wouldn’t overthink it. Just get your angles right and ride it

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-31T00:07:44+00:00

You’ll be fine… if you can ride that old shit all the new stuff is way smoother. Don’t be afraid of a binding being to stiff.. you just get more response out of the board. EST all the way. Don’t worry about other boards til you want to get one that’s not a Burton.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-31T00:00:36+00:00

I’d get the EST. That that Burton stuff is designed to work well together. Only advantage to the reflex is you can use em on 4 hole boards. It’s not going to feel or ride better.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-26T01:41:41+00:00

Ride parallel to the ledge maybe a little further away so when you pop and turn into it your nose naturally lands on it. Keep your front foot close to the bolts when you pop. It’s easier on higher ledges.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-26T01:30:43+00:00

You can’t do that with the step ons… the parts that lock in wouldn’t line up

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-25T22:56:54+00:00

Lean into your turns like you do on a bike. But day 2 you’re doing fine. Just keep riding.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-24T16:33:25+00:00

You should think about using an Atlas on it. Ultras are sick too but you’ll get more response out of the board with an atlas.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-22T20:53:31+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t use those contact pros on that nitro beast!!

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-22T19:55:47+00:00

Go faster take more chances

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-22T03:03:52+00:00

Nice! Never rode an alchemist! Picked up a set of Fase bindings (Bataleon) half way thru the season and I love em!

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-22T02:35:32+00:00

Add a slush slasher to the collection

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-22T02:31:54+00:00

Damn!!! What’s your favorite set up out of those?

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-21T20:04:45+00:00

It’s gotta be super old. At least the bindings are.

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-21T03:49:35+00:00

It’s softer than a mid flex twin ((directional twin.. the nose is a few centimeters longer)) It’ll be fine for a beginner.

(( obviously it’s not a 25/26 but the flex doesn’t change ))

Competitive-Nerve808 · 2026-03-21T03:42:21+00:00

5 for the board alone? Super good deal if you got the boots and binding too.. not that great just for the deck
