monoboarding
[edit]A monoboard is derived directly from a boardercross snowboard . Though monoboarding doesn't have a long history and has been growing in popularity steadily over the last year, a monoboard look very similar to their alpine cousins monoski, but their most distinctive feature is their wideness, their wavy edges (magne-tractionLibtech), their quadflex (WMO) and their interactive suspention (WMO). The wideness makes laydown turns possible, the magne-traction makes the shifts of power from your tip and tail to under the center of the feet possible, the quadflex makes the adjustments to any angle of the slope possible using the 4 edges, and the interactive suspension makes the creation of variable dampening response possible, like a shock absorber. Monoboarding is the practice of turning by carving the monoboard (such that the board is tracking along the wavy edge of the board ), as opposed to skidding the monoski . Monoboard riders use less stiff ski boots with short ski poles and they are made much more stable and more powerful at higher speeds than the older monoskis. Some monoboader have said that on icy slopes a monoski is like a race car and a monoboard is like a dirt bike.
MONOBOARDING IS DA BEST SPORT IN DA WORLD, WE GET ONTO IT!!!
cameras
[edit]I removed the previous content which was solely dedicated to some trite discussion on cameras. It seemed extremely irrelevant to what monoboard actually refers to even in that context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.157.36 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 29 March 2008
Cleanup
[edit]The following items have been identified as needing work in this article:
- Tone issue. Needs some work on tone to achieve an encyclopaedic tone.
- Sourcing.
- Disambig? Sounds like Monoboarding is a snowboarding term as well as one in technology.
What the hell is going on?
[edit]This article started off being about the winter sports activity using a monoboard. Twice now, it has been usurped by some crap about a circuit board. Time for a disambiguation page? Astronaut (talk) 04:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Definition
[edit]AUIU its the PCB thats the monoboard, not the final product. The initial description could perhaps be clearer, I'm not sure how though.
A single PCB with expansion socket(s) to allow later exapansion is fairly common, I believe this is also a monoboard, but this configuration is not mentioned. 82.31.207.100 (talk) 16:02, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
