Ingemar Backman solidified his status in snowboarding history during the 1996 King of the Hill contest in Riksgränsen, Sweden, when he launched a world-record 8.5-meter (28-foot) quarterpipe air that redefined what was possible on a snowboard. In 1999, Backman helped found ALLIAN Snowboards—short for “Alliance”—a rider-owned brand created to ensure snowboarders, rather than corporate executives, controlled the future of the sport.

The Allian Ingemar Backman Pro Model is a holy grail piece for vintage collectors. Designed with graphics created by Ingemar himself, this board was built to handle high-speed freeriding, massive park kickers, and icy quarterpipe walls. As a pre-owned collector deck, it represents the golden era of late-90s/2000s rider independence and progressive freestyle riding.

⚠️ Pre-Owned / Collector Note: As a vintage rider-owned collectible, buyers should inspect top-sheet condition, binding insert threads, and edge integrity. Whether used for retro resort laps or mounted as a museum display piece, this board holds a significant place in snowboarding heritage.

Patents & Technology

The Allian Backman pro model combined rider-driven geometry with high-grade carbon composite laminates.

• X-Carbon & Kevlar Reinforcement: Integrated carbon V/X-strips and Kevlar damping layers run through the core to provide explosive pop off jump lips while absorbing heavy landings off big airs.

• Dual Wood Core (Poplar & Birch): A targeted dual-wood core matrix engineered for damp vibration absorption, snappy longitudinal flex, and structural durability.

• Traditional High Camber: Full-length traditional camber engagement ensures maximum edge hold on icy transition walls and rock-solid stability at high speeds.

• 7200 Grade Sintered Base: Ultra-high-density porous base material designed for maximum wax absorption, low friction, and top-tier glide across all snow temps.

• Directional Twin Silhouette: Features a balanced shape with a subtle directional stance offset, allowing for effortless switch riding without losing nose float in soft snow.
