The Bataleon Magic Carpet is a freeride snowboard that offers a versatile and dynamic riding experience. Designed to excel in powder and all-mountain conditions, this snowboard is popular among riders of all skill levels. One of the standout features of the Bataleon Magic Carpet is its Triple Base Technology (TBT). This innovative design incorporates a mellow center base with slightly upturned edges, which helps to enhance float and turn initiation. The TBT also provides extra stability and control when carving on groomed terrain. The Magic Carpet features a medium flex that offers a good balance between stability and playfulness.
The worship of Artemis probably flourished in Crete or on the Greek mainland in pre-Hellenic times. Many of Artemis’s local cults, however, preserved traces of other deities, often with Greek names, suggesting that, upon adopting her, the Greeks identified Artemis with nature divinities of their own. The virginal sister of Apollo is very different from the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, for example.
For instance, the Tauropolia festival at Halae Araphenides in Attica honoured Artemis Tauropolos Bull Goddess , who received a few drops of blood drawn by sword from a man s neck. The Soulwood series is a dark-urban fantasy paranormal police procedural para-thriller series featuring Nell Nicholson Ingram, an earth magic user and Special gent of PsyLED.
The Magic Carpet features a medium flex that offers a good balance between stability and playfulness. The board's directional shape and setback stance further enhance its performance in powder. The setback stance helps to distribute weight evenly for better float, while the directional shape improves stability and control at high speeds.

The Soulwood series is a dark-urban fantasy / paranormal police procedural /para-thriller series featuring Nell Nicholson Ingram, an earth magic user and Special gent of PsyLED.
Her Rogue Mage novels—Bloodring, Seraphs, Host, and the RPG Rogue Mage—feature Thorn St. Croix, a stone mage in a post-apocalyptic alternate reality.
Faith writes full-time, tries to keep house, and is a workaholic. She gave up cooking for lent one year and the oven hasn’t been turned on since. Okay – that’s a joke. She does still make cold cereal and sandwiches. Occasionally, she remembers to turn on Roomba (that she named Duma$$ because it fell down the stairs once.)
Faith researches in great detail, and tries most everything her characters do. Research led to her life’s passions – jewelry making, orchids, Japanese maples, bones, travel, white-water kayaking, and writing.
Jewelry-making was the occupation of two of her characters: Thorn St. Croix, the Rogue Mage, and the main character of BloodStone, written by her pen name, Gwen Hunter. She fell in love with the art form. Though she doesn't have time for jewelry as much as she used to, Faith makes, wears, and sometimes gives away her jewelry as promo items to fans and as prizes in contests. See her FaceBook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/official.fait. for pics.
Faith loves orchids. Her favorite time of year is when several are blooming. Pictures can be seen at her FaceBook page. And yes, she collects bones and skulls. Many of her orchid pics are juxtaposed with bones and skulls —a fox, cat, dog, cow skull, goat, and deer skull, (that is, unfortunately, falling apart) and the jawbone of an ass. She just received a boar skull, and the skull of a mountain lion (legally purchased from a US tannery) hit by a car in the wild.
Her latest love is Japanese maples, and she has managed to collect over thirty in one year.
She and her husband RV, traveling to whitewater rivers all over the Southeast.
And that leads Faith to kayaking – her very favorite sport. Faith discovered whitewater paddling when she was researching her (Gwen Hunter) mystery book, Rapid Descent. She took a lesson and—after a bout of panic attacks from fear of drowning—discovered she loved the sport.

Reviews for "The Perfect Board for All-Mountain Exploration: The Bataleon Majic Carpet"
1. John - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Bataleon magic carpet snowboard. The board felt heavy and slow, making it difficult to maneuver on the slopes. The edge hold was also lacking, especially in icy conditions. I found myself constantly slipping and losing control. Overall, I would not recommend this board for experienced riders looking for a responsive and versatile snowboard.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I was excited to try the Bataleon magic carpet after hearing good things, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The board lacked stability and felt very unstable at higher speeds. The flex was also weirdly inconsistent, making it difficult to find a comfortable riding style. The design of the board was nice, but the performance just did not match up for me.
3. Mike - 2 stars - As an intermediate rider, I found the Bataleon magic carpet to be too sluggish and unresponsive. The board felt heavy and lacked the sharpness and agility I was looking for. It was difficult to get any pop or control, and I struggled to navigate through tight turns. I would recommend this board for beginners looking for a forgiving ride, but for more experienced riders, there are better options out there.
