Pow 3BT The Pow version of the 3BT base shaping is the most extreme of the Bataleon designs, which means that it has a very narrow centrebase, and very exaggerated uplifted corners of the board. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction.
His faithful friends, Tiger and Pig, eagerly gather around to witness the spectacle. Kipper begins his act with a simple trick, pulling a rabbit out of his hat. The sheer amazement, mixed with a dash of incredulity, on the faces of Tiger and Pig is palpable.
Bataleon Magic Carpet 2020-2021 Snowboard Review
The Magic Carpet is Bataleon’s antidote against the vociferations of mouth breathing troglodytes who continue to swear by the necessity that “a SnOwBoArD sHouLd CoMe Up tO yOuR nOsE aNd YoU CaN’t RiDe A tRuE tWiN In PoWdEr!” This might be the most underrated and misunderstood snowboard in Bataleon’s line – the ultimate resort powder deck.
The not-so-secret weapon here is Triple Base Technology. The Magic Carpet features a unique powder-specific variation of their three-step profile in the nose and tail. With only a narrow section of centre base, the main attraction is the long, uplifted sidebases that allow the snowboard to effortlessly plane along the snow’s surface.
“This is a snowboard with freestyle running through its veins, but it’s those epic resort powder days that really get its heart beating”
Combined with a wider than average waist width, the surface area of the Magic Carpet matches up to some of Bataleon’s bigger, directional chargers, but does so in a way that keeps the outline twin and the swing weight perfectly matched.
Spinning and chucking the board about is made easier this year with a lighter wood core, too. This is a snowboard with freestyle running through its veins, but it’s those epic resort powder days that really get its heart beating.
Where some volume shifted snowboards rely purely on a shape that works in powder, the Magic Carpet maintains a scrupulous eye for detail in its construction. Carbon stringers run from the inserts out to the nose and tail give the board a really balanced pop – be it regular or switch, and off pillows or sidehits – while the hollow carbon tubes that are milled into the sidewall give the camber a little more rebound.
Most snowboards fit neatly into one of three categories: freestyle, all-mountain, and freeride. The Magic Carpet technically ticks all three of these boxes, yet trying to stick a label on it feels like a disservice to what’s really on offer here. This is Bataleon’s rule-breaker, their curveball, their anomaly. It’s straight-up powder fueled, freestyle frenzied stoke that redefines what a resort snowboard can – and should – be.
The Magic Carpet did feel nice in powder – not like a regular shaped/tapered powder board, but with more of a regular balanced feel. The nose never seemed to have a problem keeping up above the snow, and I could feel the tail flex nicely for a bigger turn in deeper snow.
Kipper revels in their reactions, relishing in the joy of playing the role of a magician. As the act progresses, Kipper's tricks become increasingly complex and jaw-dropping. He pulls colorful scarves out of thin air, makes playing cards disappear and reappear in unexpected places, and even performs telekinesis, seemingly moving objects with his mind. Each trick is met with awe and astonishment from his friends. Throughout the act, Kipper's mischievous nature shines through, as he playfully teases Tiger and Pig, making them gasp in disbelief at his seemingly impossible feats. The magic act becomes a bonding experience for the trio, filling their hearts with laughter and wonder. However, as with any magic act, there comes a point where the truth behind the illusions must be revealed. Kipper graciously exposes his tricks, showing his friends the hidden pockets in his cape, explaining the mechanisms behind each illusion, and even sharing some of the secrets he learned from the magic set. The magic act not only showcases Kipper's playful nature and creativity, but it also teaches valuable lessons about friendship, imagination, and the joy of sharing experiences. Kipper's willingness to involve his friends in his magic act emphasizes the importance of including others and making them feel special. In the end, Kipper's magic act may not have been truly magical, but the sense of wonder and friendship it sparked was real. The joyful memories created during this adventure will undoubtedly stay with Kipper, Tiger, and Pig for a lifetime, reminding them of the magic that can be found in friendship and shared experiences..
