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

this is a good board if it fits. i've heard some stupidass say how much it sucks, but what he didn't know was that it wasn't the right board for him. i don't weigh very much, so a 154 seems to fit me good. that stupidass weighs 180 lbs. and is riding the same size board as me. he's obviously f**kin' lame. like i said, it's the right size for me, so it works good for me. if you want a badass all-around board, and you don't have a lot of money, demo this one. i like to get huge ass air on manmade hits like in the park or pipe, but i also like to do extreme stuff like drop cliffs and shit. if you haven't tried launching cliffs, you're missing out on the other half of snowboarding. not only is my board light enough and has perfect flexibility, it can land anywhere. i could come 30 feet out of the air from a rock face, land straight down in a couple feet of powder, and ride right out. or if i hit a park kicker, where the landings tend to either be mushy or really icy, i can land without hurting my ankle or falling and spraining my wrist. the torsion on it is great. it's not the fastest thing on the hill though. when it's new i'd give it a speed rating of about 6.5. after having shitty snow this season the base has a little wear and tear, so it isn't as fast anymore. you've got to keep it waxed regularly. i'm not a racer or anything so i don't need a super fast board, but i feel if my board was a bit faster i could get around better. the flex works for me too. it's stiff enough to be snappy or hold and edge, which also takes muscle, and flexible enough to ollie and do cool ground tricks. the people who give bad reviews about this board are people who either don't know anything about how they should be riding, or they're spoiled and know way too much. if you want to email me and ask me about this board go right ahead, but if you want to just bitch at me or do some lamer hacker shit, you'd just be trying where others have failed.
