People just talk about of the enjoy to ride a snowboard.
No a days in forums there are many discussions about e.g. "how I can improve my back side" and similiar.
So everyone who ownes and rode his asy's, knows that he has just to ride on his board.
He has not to search all that time and every next turn the sweetest spot of balance on his board.
Once boardmakers offered some boards with asymmetrical shape, differential sidecuts, differential sidecut progressions, stiffer heelside, differential flex patterns on each edge - that was the realy big challenge to every good boardmakers.

Entering winter 2008/2009 some board-labels of freestyle boards presents now at least two new asymmetrical shapes. You can find them only on the top of the end from theire board lines!
Remember: asy-boards for alpine carving are rare now out on the EU and on the rest of the world. Only in Switzerland two labels are comming with four asy's: Snowblind & Pureboarding.
- The one new twintip freestyle board, the ARTEC FIGMENT comes in 4 lenght. Artec is the "high end line" from the Yugoslawian Elan brand. They have a symmetrical outline, but different sidecuts. (Difference is about 0.5 m of sidecut on each lenght and a more agressive cut at heel edge, less agressive on toe edge.
- The second one twintip freestyle board comes from FTWO (F2). The LURE is available in two lenght and offers differential sidecuts (0.2 m), a stiffer heelside and a torsinal axle behind the middle of the board.
