I like the new boards but I bet they need screws. Those extrusions painted are going to be slippery. I don't even like the plastic traction pieces that now come with the airframes. When I test rode the Prolite last year in WA I was slipping on the boards badly. Our wet snow clogs up those plastic pieces pretty quick. One of the best parts about the airframes is the traction when you are standing on the outside of the rail. Can you get the BDX boards with a step over bar?
