CAPiTA Green Machine FK
0 comments
At CAPiTA, we like trees. We even hug them from time to time and spent the last year of our lives building a planet earth loving, environmentally conscious snowboard. However, as sincere as our approach was to alternative materials, we didn’t want to make a cliché laden eco-board for the stony bros. You know, the one with typical directional shaping and tired, wood-grain, hippy-style, retro surf-guy graphics on them? Yeah…that, my friends, has been done. Our story required a simplistic deliverance bound by forbidden stimulus: singed patchouli, dread locks, dream catchers, hippy blood, and the existence of unsung martyrs from the nether havens. There was a compulsion to unleash the slithering hate from hell’s crevasses, and then an obligation to produce THE GREEN MACHINE. A destroyer of toxic pollutants and protector of the frigid landscape.
Our goal with this series was to engineer a progressive, bad ass, true twin freestyle snowboard with a sincere commitment to responsible manufacturing. A GREEN “Machine” with progressive graphics and top tier performance made for an educated consumer looking for an environmentally conscious product. For 09/10, we’re proud to offer these boards in both cambered, and reverse camber Flat Kick versions. You pick!

2001 Transworld Snowboarding Top 10 Good Wood.
In the year 2000, skulls on a snowboard graphic bordered on lame for anyone with an inkling of originality. The aesthetic reigned as a wretched plague marginalizing our creative culture. There were truly no parameters for its presentation or escape from its meaningless image. We were frothy mouthed and sick. Physically tired I can tell you, from seeing skulls on snowboards. With what started as an obvious mockery of our industry and ourselves, we lashed out and released The Original Black Snowboard of Death. The sarcasm was appreciated by some, completely missed by others. We walked a fine line being both critical of artistic stagnation and also true fans of the dark arts. The boards ended up becoming our best selling series for four years in a row and showcase the only graphic theme that has spanned all nine years of our existence. It’s a testament to the fact that no matter how tired it might seem, the exploitation of darkness, rebellion, and the unknown will always connect with a certain portion of society. The materials, shaping, and technical make up of these boards have evolved greatly over the last nine collections. However, to honor the series and the loyal fan base that loves these boards, we have revived the Original Merchant Of Death skull and die cut, the obvious reality that, “Death Sells.”
Black Death, Inc. incorporates the side cut theory and ride-ability of it’s award winning ancestors, and continues the Black Death legacy epitomizing all terrain freestyle design. With a lightweight and snappy AIR core, lightning fast base, and bomb-proof sidewall construction this series will undoubtedly retain the title of one of the best all terrain snowboards in the world.

CAPiTA Stairmaster Extreme

Through remote viewing, time travel, and a solid understanding of the new fundamental physics I have created, I have made many new discoveries. In three dimensional time we are all subconsciously becoming who we despise. Life is a cosmic train wreck none of us can keep our eyes off of. We are finally catching up to every second of the past we created. Our dreams in which we astro projected into our future fantasies are unraveling into a sixth dimensional hyper reality. Some of us are beginning to realize these chaos nightmares of the masses are coming into fruition and we are unable to modify our future. Everyone's getting their kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames. The time has come to enter psychic wars that unnatural broadcasts send into the hearth of every home. Your 42" plasma flat screen is watching you as you lay limp under it's glow. Reprogram your cerebral circuits to transmit what you receive and embrace quantum interconnectedness. Exalt the new mysticism. Drop out, not bombs.
Too much remote, not enough control. X to the O – Corey Smith
The EXTREMES are limited in production and are primarily for a special customer looking for a unique product that not everyone else is going to have. They’re geared toward a progressive jib and park shredder that doesn’t want to break the bank, but is looking for more performance than the standard Stairmaster construction. They feature an epoxy glass configuration, sintered base, and cambered construction so they’re fast, strong, and have mad pop off park jumps. Combine that with a specially designed dampening system placed along the edge between the inserts, and these boards yield enhanced impact resistance as well. The performance in relation to price tag of these versatile freestyle boards is unmatched, and as a result, they’re the first ones to sell out every year.

2009 Transworld Snowboarding Top 10 Good Wood Park Boards over $400. 2010 Snowboard Magazine Platinum Pick for Excellence in Design.
In this world, fear cuts deeper than a sword. But on the Isle of the Damned, fear cuts like a 16 foot tall blender filled to the brim with peyote, nightshade and Hawaiian baby wood rose. You try to stay afloat but the rusty, chest high blades whirl and pull you under. They spin not fast enough to slice you cleanly
and mercifully, but just fast enough to flay you layer by layer. In this place there is no survival. You are conquered. You are devoured. You are nothing if fear resides in you.
These durable, responsive freestyle boards have become a customer favorite in the CAPiTA line because they’ve proven to survive what you can give them inside or outside the park. They are our number one selling series in Japan. They have won a Transworld Good Wood award for Freestyle boards over $400. They are the go-to board for a majority of our team riders and along with all the performance accolades, they are the industry favorite of those not scared to run a controversial graphic in the line. As one of the most successful lines in CAPiTA history, we’re proud to offer these boards in both cambered and reverse camber Flat Kick versions. You pick!

CAPiTA Charlie Slasher POW FK

2010 Baldface Bro Down Top Choice "Guaranteed To Get Wood" Powder Board.
NO FRIENDS ON POW DAYS.
Why is it that all the powder boards on the market have lame ass graphics and wack ass shapes? Ask yourself, “Do I get stoked to see a penis shaped tip on my board?” What about when I throw this bitch into a little 180 ollie for some fakie pow turns, just in time to get mauled by that split tail?
Do you really want to wiggle your way down the mountain like you’re in a bad ‘80s hot dog movie when there’s a foot of fresh begging to be DESTROYED?
When we think of powder days, straight hauling ass comes to mind. First chairs, solo rides, and a search for the next untouched zone. Double overhead pow turns, cliff drops, and no speed checks before blasting our favorite rollers into oblivion. That’s the shit that gets us stoked to wake up at 6am and be the first one at the hill. And, that’s the shit that motivates us to make this board for you. In building the ultimate powder weapon we had needs to be met:
1. Have a shape that looks like a snowboard, not a penis or a surfboard.
2. Float effortlessly in powder, while maintaining the ability to ride switch when and where we want.
3. Have a tail to stomp landings and power out of turns.
4. Be reasonably priced. In reality, how many days a year will you get the chance to ride this beast? Why should you pay $600+ for a special occasion set up?
5. Have graphics that are gnarly and will get you amped to shred the fuck out everything in sight.
No friends on powder days…not any more. Now there’s Charlie, let’s get radical.

2008 & 2009 Transworld Snowboarding Top 5 Good Wood Half Pipe Board.
In a time of chaos, a pantheon rose from the deep abyss. Blackened sorcerers summoned creatures from parallel worlds as grisly warriors stalked the peaks above. Mortals faced fatigue, famine, and mountainsides insurmountable without the weaponry of warlocks. Those weapons cut deep through the frozen slopes and slashed snow into the loin cloths of any warrior who stood in the way. The mystical weaponry was feared by man and god alike, emancipating the ways of the Quiver Killers.
With the recent reverse camber craze, many shredders are sharing lustful thoughts of a personal board quiver. If money really grew on trees, wed all have a closet full of snowboards, each with different shapes to address that particular days riding style. Unfortunately thats not reality for most of us, and luckily, now its not a necessity. If you ride everything and can only get one board this year, the CAPiTA Quiver Killer is for you. Hailed as the #3 half pipe board in the world and 2x Transworld Top Five Pipe Good Wood award winner, the Quiver Killer needs no warm up period. Comfortable and stable out of the box while still quick edge to edge, these boards can handle anything the mountain can dish out. And, with a price tag hundreds of dollars less than its Good Wood peers, these boards are undeniably the best high performance product for the price, industry wide.

We try over and over again, bloody knees and tears. Eventually something clicks. Our hearts glow and we know exactly what to do to make things right.
Light, strong, and easy to ride through variable terrain, these boards were engineered for women who know how to ride but dont want a board that will try to ride them. The sidewall construction provides stability while the carbon enhanced glass and lightweight core matrix provide power and precision to the progressive freestyle female rider.

CAPiTA Horrorscope

2010 Transworld Good Wood winner for Freestyle Boards under $400.
Through the Horrorscope we peer into the cesspit of creative stagnation and general malaise that has plagued our world. An abomination abandoned at birth, crawling for breath, we find this newborn slithering painfully to the top of the pile. Nature always has an answer. And from the belly of desolation will we always find evolution. Unnoticed at first, this creature will grow strong. It will rise above the hardknocks, the beatdowns, the insults and ridicules, and come back with sharper teeth, deadlier poisons, and more powerful laser beams. Bear witness to the Second Coming.
The Horrorscope FK was born as a late release limited edition board for 2008 and the entire global retail allotment sold out within hours of its release. The demand was so strong we made an extra run of boards for our favorite shop employees, and have now added two new wide boards to the line up for 09/10. The reverse camber Flat Kick application means two things: one: Pre-loaded positioning for expert level jibbers, and two: easy turnin’, mindless shreddin’ for those intermediate riders that want to expedite the learning curve. The Horrorscope FK: TAKES NO EFFORT! STABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS! PERFECT FOR HANGOVERS! JIB LIKE A MAD MAN!

2010 Transworld Good Wood winner for Women's Freestyle Boards under $400.
Before the Doom of Ayreon fell upon Bal Sagoth, there was The Last Dance of the Unicorn in the Final Summer. It was from that dance the Universal Migrator was finally roused from its millenia long slumber and thus hope was borne upon its flight. Godspeed you Atlantis Ascendant for the Doom is at your back and only the skull catacomb of the Temple of Thiell await if you shall fail.
Modeled after the Horrorscope FK, the reverse camber Flat Kick application of the SMF yields the same major results. Elevated contact points provide a very forgiving, fun experience for intermediate riders looking to expedite the learning curve, and pre-loaded camber
positioning helps expert level jibbers looking to impress.

2009 Transworld Good Wood winner for Freestyle Boards under $400.
Whispered words, secret handshakes, metaphors, jargon, signals, and ciphers. The world is encrypted. Sometimes we are the insiders, the outsiders, or the inbetweeners. Behind every sign is an unspoken truth. Be a part of or be apart. A wink, a nod, a knowing smile.
The Stairmaster originated as a board discounted out of the box that’s smaller, wider, softer, and designed for maneuverability around the park. The ride-ability of this series has become legendary in relation to the price tag, and the overwhelming demand for these boards continues after being named the #4 Men’s Freestyle board in the world under $400 while beating every other board in the Top 10 on price.

2009 Transworld Good Wood winner for Women's Freestyle Boards under $400.
From bouts with desperate love and desires beyond reach, we are familiar with the ways of a heavy heart. We’ve longed for change, and made a discovery. The willful retreat into an abstract immersion of youth can lead to happier times. Nothing but new wave, animal print, school supplies, culture clubs, mall jobs, and dreamy dates exist in our new world of joyous naïveté. With the exception of purple rain and boys named George, 80’s pop is still our culture. Now, if we can only be saved by the bell, we’ll party.
Engineered to be a “Stairmaster for Women,” the Saturnia is light, strong, and easy to ride through obstacles and jumps in the park. It has everything you need, nothing you don’t, and like the Stairmaster
series, the exceptional ride-ability and on-snow experience of the Saturnia greatly exceeds the price tag. Transworld Snowboarding Magazine’s test results held the Saturnia as the #3 Women’s board in
the world under $400, while it beat four of the top five boards on price.
