In the last 5 years I've notices a few trends in gear.
Bikes:
More travel as the norm.
Longer top tubes - shorter stems - wider bars
29ers
Fatter tyres.
Snowboards:
Rocker
True Twins (though I believe a directional twin or directional is still better for all mountain use)
Skis:
Carving style ie shorter, more side cut wider.
Even a few coming out with rocker
Shoes:
Rocker (ie MBT/Sketchers shapeups)
What else?
