Snowboard Construction

Earth Science Project

We love winter and we want to do our part to extend our winter seasons. This is the sixth season we have taken steps to reduce wasteful components by using natural, earth friendly materials. Our E.S.P. materials use clean and renewable resources such as Bamboo in the core and sidewalls. We also use a strong lightweight wood (X-Wood) that is grown close to our factory, reducing the carbon footprint of our boards. Bamboo can be re-grown in a short period of time from existing root systems, therefore eliminating ecosystem erosion. Bamboo also possesses amazing strength characteristics that will give your board a more lively ride, super pop and snap, lighter weight and more durability than most traditional woods used in snowboard construction.

MNMNT Snowboards provides several different cores amongst our different lines. We use several different types of wood including our Terra Walls aka Bamboo Sidewalls and Bamboo laminates in our cores. Our boards are known for their flex/snap/pop, their weight, and very high manufacturing and product quality.

	The E.S.P. I Core has been developed using one species of pure poplar wood that has proven flex, naturally strong, lightweight, durability and pop characteristics. This core is our all around core for our park boards. A proven core that is used by a majority of the MNMNT Youth Crew in the boards that they ride.
	Our most popular core uses a mix of bamboo and poplar to optimize strength, reduce weight and enhance dampening with out having to use additional materials. This core is a snappy core that will enhance the liveliness and ride of your board. The bamboo laminates help maintain the pop in the board longer.
	The E.S.P. III core uses virtually every element of our core. A mix of Bamboo, X-Wood and Poplar, with a great percentage of X-wood this core was engineered maintain durability with minimal weight and added pop. 49% of the core is compromised of the strong but light X-Wood.
	The E.S.P. ULTRA Core has been re-engineered to be lighter than ever before and contains our Torsion Control Core. Horizontal laminates are placed under the binding area makes it soft torsionally but torsionally tight under your feet. The core now contains 92% X-Wood, making it one of the lightest boards out.
