Got this board in year 2001 and intended to use it as a rock board. When I got it, the base has three core shots and the top sheet was peeling off in a couple of places. Took this board to Any Mountain and the repair guys said it was un-repairable. They obviously don't know much about the indestructable NS boards. I shrugged and took it to a small local board shop, they filled the base, fixed the top sheet and this baby just came alive.

First day I took it out I was amazed at its bite. Remember, I use it as a rock board, and it just slice through ice without hesitation and holds that edge like it's a winning lottery ticket. The response and manuverability is excellent. This board is heavier than most boards but it still gets very good air, I have not the slightest idea why. And unlikely a typical freestyle decks, it is very stable, even at speed. Probably due to its heavinest. Stiff board.

I demoed the Burton Jussi 2003 model this last weekend. Returned the board after lunch and rode my NS Twin for the rest of the day. Guess which board I found to be the better one? Yes, the Twin. The Jussi has its advantage in ollieing and getting air, but the Twin feels more in control. Truly a board that can be used for freestyle and freeride. If it weren't for the aged base which goes a little slower than I want, it'd be a perfect 10.
