Getting ‘EXTREME’ requires some huge balls and one gnarly piece of gear.  Enter the Whip F-117 from Cheetah Ultra Sports, which is apparently the World’s most advanced snowboard.  The board’s patented V-Hull (crafted of wool, plastic, steel edge and carbon composite) combined with its Spider Back Suspension supposedly produces faster speeds, quicker turns and higher jumps without the heel or toe drag.

It took 4 years to develop, but now a few lucky hundred or so folks can purchase one for a dollar shy of $2k.
