Awesome board. Forum and BJ added the 160 length to his lineup for a board that is geared towards someone who does a bit more freeriding than pipe and park. The thing is a blast to speed down the hill REALLY FAST and it's got just enough flex to keep it very stable when riding. Good pop and very responsive on holding edges. I'm guessing it's due to it's low sidecut rating in the 7s. Great board for jibbing on, but I wouldn't use it primarily for that purpose since it is a bit long. Few things that happened within 1.5 months of riding this board. One of the slider mechanisms busted and I got a sizeable dent from my idiot friend who hit his nose against my nose. That caused it to bubble on the underside a slight bit. It's repairable but not covered by Forum since i technically "hit" something. Slider system was replaced on the spot by my local shop who i purchased from. That was cool. Anyhow, overall a very good board that handles everything but definately swaying more on the freeride segment. Good performance, crappy durability. But that's Forum for ya. What do they care? Their proriders just mount up a new deck everytime they break one. Board gets an 8/10 for me!!! =)
