Welcome to the 2013-2014 MNMNT Snowboard collection. Each year we curate an ever-growing pedigree of artists to create site-specific art and deliver the highest quality product on the market. Turning our back to momentary trends, vapid graphic design and company branding, we focus on the visual impact and technical superiority of our boards. Everything we produce is created hand in hand with a roster of established and emerging artists in an attempt to infuse art into the world around us. Our dedication to provide premium products drives us to search for new and unique approaches to enhance riders’ snowboard lifestyles worldwide.

Started in 2001, based on a collective of Mid-Atlantic artists, MNMNT was started and driven by art. Providing unique products to riders. Today, that collective is worldwide, with many artists across the globe contributing to our vision. While many companies have changed their direction based on the industry trends, MNMNT has stayed true to its beginnings.

We are a product driven company, with years of collective snowboard industry experience, we bring you tried and true technology combined with art. Our experience in designing and building boards has brought us to the current collection, which represents the best selections in materials and designs for the current state of snowboarding.

This is our seventh season using renewable resources such as bamboo in our cores and on our sidewalls, and we are endeavoring to do our part to reduce wasteful materials in our line of boards moving forward to make our planet whiter in the winter time.

Our boards are tested from the East Coast, to the Northwest, to your backyard; where our boards go through rigorous testing for performance and durability. Our products are built with strong, renewable resources that help keep our boards snappier longer, and a response that rivals no other. We stand behind our product performance and are dedicated to giving riders the best product we know.

CORES

BOARD TECHDOING OUR PART

The E.S.P. I Core has been developed using one species of pure poplar wood that has proven flex, naturally strong, lightweight, durability and pop characteristics. This core is our all around core for our park boards. A proven core that is used by a majority of the MNMNT Youth Crew in the boards that they ride.

The E.S.P. III core uses virtually every element of our core. A mix of Bamboo, X-Wood and Poplar, with a great percentage of X-wood this core was engineered maintain durability with minimal weight and added pop. 49% of the core is compromised of the strong but light X-Wood.

The E.S.P. ULTRA Core has been re-engineered to be lighter than ever before and contains our Torsion Control Core. Horizontal laminates are placed under the binding area makes it soft torsionally but torsionally tight under your feet. The core now contains 92% X-Wood, making it one of the lightest boards out.

Our most popular core uses a mix of bamboo and poplar to optimize strength, reduce weight and enhance dampening with out having to use additional materials. This core is a snappy core that will enhance the liveliness and ride of your board. The bamboo laminates help maintain the pop in the board longer.

We love winter and we want to do our part to extend our winter seasons. This is the seventh season we have taken steps to reduce wasteful components by using natural, earth friendly materials. Our E.S.P. materials use clean and renewable resources such as Bamboo in the core and sidewalls. We also use a strong lightweight wood (X-Wood) that is grown close to our factory, reducing the carbon footprint of our boards.

Bamboo can be re-grown in a short period of time from existing root systems, therefore eliminating ecosystem erosion. Bamboo also possesses amazing strength characteristics that will give your board a more lively ride, super pop and snap, lighter weight and more durability than most traditional woods used in snowboard construction.

PARK CAMBER PROFILE

REVERSE CAMBER PROFILEREGULAR CAMBER PROFILE

We are huge fans of regular/traditional camber. The camber distance (from the center of the board to the ground) helps determine how lively and responsive your board is. As you apply pressure and flatten the board with your feet/weight, power is transferred towards the edges and makes for snappier/lively turns. Ollies are bigger, and so are your smiles. If you want edge control and responsiveness, you want regular camber.

There are a lot of folks out there that believe reverse camber decks are for jibbing. We think it's best for powder riding and for beginners.

With its concave shape, you don't have to exert as much energy on deep pow days keeping your front leg up, saving your thighs for more pow runs. A reverse cambered deck also allows you to ride powder with a smaller sized board. Since the tips are raised/concave, you don't have to worry about the extra surface area needed from a regular cambered deck to stay afloat easier.

There is little resistance on the edges as you apply pressure with your weight and flatten the board. This decreases the edge to edge response, and your changes of catching an edge; which makes this favorable for beginners learning the sport. It does feel like you are riding a snowboard with really dull edges, and the board feels a little looser than a regular/traditional cambered deck. This also makes shorter reverse cambered decks a choice for park rats to jib around in the park.

We added our park camber two seasons ago. It's a combination of reverse and regular camber. It is reverse cambered before the bindings, regular cambered under the bindings, then it goes flat/no camber/straight to the contact points where it is reverse again.

This gives the board some pop/responsiveness with the benefits of reverse camber - it decreases your chances of catching an edge. This combination is a board that is perfect for riding park, groomers, and a good pow day. In the park, if you spin with a reverse cambered deck, you'll wash out trying to land straight. Not with our Park Camber! Also with our wood combination and park camber specs, the F.V.K. series with Park Camber is the flexiest board model in our lineup.

ERC CAMBER PROFILE

Back for the second year this year is our Tragedy series and ERC profile. ERC, or Early Rise Camber, is just what is claims to be. Flat camber from the tail to the front binding, where a subtle reverse camber begins toward the nose, leading to a slightly lengthened kick nose. This profile is an over all mountain killer. The shortened tail, flat camber and early rise nose insure that this board will float all day in deep snow. But at the same time, is plenty stable in the tail to land big park jumps and jib smoothly.

FLAT CAMBER PROFILE

This year we are offering our District series with true Flat Camber. This means zero camber throughout the board. This technology offers the rider to get as close as possible to that skate feel. This camber profile is incredibly stable, quick reacting and balanced. Transitions are much smoother with better edge interaction with the snow, and even moremaneuverable than a regular rockered board. We designed these decks with the true park rider at heart. The flat surface is very stable on rails and loads quickly and easily for max pop on any park feature.

Our proven TTX glass configuration provides superior response for unparalleled control. The stitched weave method utilized ensures maximum benefits will be achieved as glass fibers are kept taut and straight (not bent and woven like you would find in cotton shirt).

Bamboo Terra Walls are hands down the toughest sidewalls around, the natural tensile fibers in Bamboo give your board incredible strength, will add incredible pop, and give you unparalleled energy and edge grip in the iciest of conditions, all the while providing you with a chatter free ride.

TTX TRIAXIAL FIBERGLASS

Muffle wall technology was developed to muffle out teeth chattering vibrations in icy conditions and at high speeds as well as provide energy transfer down the edge of the board to give you extra grip. These UHMW sidewalls will also resistant to sidewall impacts.

Cost-effective, durable, jib-approved with the team-favored flex/snap, the BlackBlack is the most popular ride in the Monument Snowboards line-up. The E.S.P. I Core provides the durability and right flex you need in a noodle-free jib board.

The Full Wrap Rockwell 40 metal edges are slightly softer to prevent major damage from disastrous impacts. Our Ultra Speed 1500 base makes it low maintenance and easy to repair. The Muffle Walls (UMHW sidwalls) are super durable with a higher resistance to sidewall impact, making this the ideal jib board in your quiver of decks. Our engineers designed this true twin jib deck with superb handling; makes selecting the BlackBlack a no-brainer.ARTWORK BY NICK KUSZYK

Combining both worlds of camber and reverse camber, our newly improved FVK features the Park Camber.

What is Park Camber? Rockered between the bindings, with regular camber under the bindings; the board goes flat then reverses again by the contact points. The Park Camber provides more control to the tips and increases support for landing jumps as opposed to reverse cambered decks. The ESP II Core with the six Bamboo laminates helps keep the flex of the board longer in addition to giving you the extra pop you need. More regular camber than reverse camber, the P.C. adds the benefits of having the response you want in a board. Eliminate the need for two decks with the FVK.

The ultimate park deck has arrived.

DEBUTANTES

A little somethin' for the ladies...

After the overwhelming success of Monument’s return to the womens specific model, the Dirty Debutantes is back for its second year. With just as much attitude as ever, this board is an all mountain killer.

The Debs has all the same benefits of the Black Black; E.S.P. 1 core, Ultra Speed 1500 Base, but with the flex/snap better suited for the slightly smaller rider. Available in both regular and reverse camber options, we are certain there is a board here to suit everyone.ARTWORK BY kate ruth

DIRTY



This twin directional has a stiffer tail and a set back stance combined with our ESP III Core. This means a combination of poplar, bamboo, and our special X-wood core gives you a super light and responsive ride. The bamboo Terra Walls along with the bamboo veneer topsheet makes this year's 777 a stand-out free riding machine. Terra Walls strengthen the board and increases responsiveness and pop when you need it. The Carbon V pattern in the tail gives you the extra support for bombing down the hill. If you want response, the 777 is your answer.
