Snowboard Life�s first issue, on sale September 5, is once again the bearer of truth. The sorry-you-can�t-buy-editorial-coverage board test known as the Top 25 makes the calls and puts you in the know�2000/01 boards either made the grade or got the ax.

So, who made it this year? What were the big surprises? Which boards are actually worth a rat�s ass and your hard-earned cash?

Well, we can�t tell you, yet (you�ll have to wait �til the mag hits the stands). But we can tease you; here are the companies that have boards in the Top 25.

The mag has complete reviews of each model. We also did our first-ever women�s board test, that�s in there too.�K.H.
