Best material for slalom boards
After seeing all kinds of boards in competitions I just thinking about 2 big questions:
What are the general diferences between wood,carbon,fiber etc. boards (pluses and minuses)?
Why not chose asymmetric boards instead of symmetric?

top -3 riders not cups because that is normal for majority of sports and shows the difference and also superior significance of championship title comparing with World cup race!
