----------///=========( Review )=========\\\----------

I've been riding the Launch 152 since last season. I have beat the crap out of it and it still performs as well as the first day I took it out on the mountain. The flex is incredible. I was able to bend the nose or tail about a foot to a foot and a half off the ground when I would manuel on either tip. The edges had to be sharpened my first day with it because they were pretty dull when I bought it. After that it worked great. It seems pretty heavy, but my last board was a Nitro Hazard 143 so I'm not sure. One problem I found was that the base would become discolored after sliding rails. The discoloration slowly went away after a few months. It might have been our rail wax, but it didn't really matter because the base is dark blue. Overall it was a great board.P.S.- Bear Valley sucks because it doesn't provide rails!(Pu$$ies worry too much about liability.)
