Steve Krcmar, tester of snowboards, how hard is it, really?
“I demo everything I write about. I got most of the boards last winter and put five to ten days on each, but a lot of days I tested more than one to see how they performed in similar conditions.” He gets the boards on loan.
Read Steve’s recent reviews on MensJournal.com and GearJunkie.com.
Steve’s one of my favorite journalists to work with.
He is specific about what he needs, is timely (I never get emails saying he needs product three days ago… in Chile) and if he’s not sure about something, he asks.
