Adam Lynam Pro 110cm

Rider Reviews

The Revel8 ALPs are the first venture for Revel8 into the 110cm length skiboard. Previously, Revel8 came out with 105cm Revolts, so how are they?

First, unlike the Summit Customs in the same length, the ALPs have broader tips and tails, giving them more surface area. Also, they have more flex than the Customs. This added flex is perfect for park riders as they are more forgiving, especially on jumps. For those riders who want this flex to be more forgiving on their knees, but want the added length for more speed and stability, you can't go wrong here. These are also lighter than the Customs, so for those who do park, they would be easier to jump with, whether they be going onto rails/boxes or doing a jump.

As far as on the mountain in general, they perform very well, able to hit groomers and powder without any problems. On ice, I would make sure these skiboards are sharpened as the added flex may get them to slip on gripping when making a carve, but once properly tuned, they do what they are suppose to do.

Nice smooth board, with a relaxed ride quality. It has less edge hold then the Summit 110 Woodie on ice. It is a much lighter board, it is nice and stiff in the middle and flexier toward the tip and tail. They are very easy to get on edge and carve, also very stable on edge. I'd say the Adam Lynam Pro's are smooth and comfortable with Less effort to engage the edge than the Woodies.

So I took my ALP's out for the first time yesterday at Sugar Mtn in North Carolina. They were great! I have only been on Head 94cm blades before and the ALP's were so much better! I opted to get the Bomber Elite bindings and I love those too. As soon as I got there I had to adjust the bindings to fit my boots (I still had to rent boots because mine are being shipped). I got them locked in and the process was a lot easier than I imagined it. You literally just lock in and go. No chasing boards or worrying about them coming off, they lock on tight. I hate waiting on all of my snowboarding friends to strap up when we get to the top of the mountain. With these you can just take off.

The first run was a little different but it wasn't bad. The ALP's carve on a dime and I wasn't used to as much speed as they get. These things fly! I don't know how many times I had to stop and wait on my snowboarding friends to catch up. I don't know if it's my style or what but for some reason I couldn't get them to slow down much at all.

I went down 2 black slopes and those are still a little shaky for me. Again, my speed gets going too quickly and I have to stop myself. I was watching other people and it didn't seem like anybody was going as fast as I was. I am a huge guy on ski's though. My height and weight might have something to do with it. I'm 6'2, 270lbs....could that be why I was catching so much speed?

All in all I love my ALP's and I love the Bomber bindings too! I would suggest them to anyone!
