DES Compared To The Classic Snowboard
The majority of the DES designs have a few common features. First, they are two boards connected via a mechanism. Secondly, the mechanism comprises a mounting platform for the rider which is several centimeters (inches) above the top of the boards, and the mechanism attaches roughly to the longitudinal center of the boards. Since they all use only two boards, there appears to be no advantage to three or more.

Famous quotes containing the words des, compared and/or classic:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“there’s nothing compared with the ould Orange flute.”
—Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 8)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
