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

Extremely light, snappy, POWERFULL, and bad ass!! Cap construction with a Carbon Kevlar "I-Beam" running down the center for torsional rigidity. The board also has a dual radius sidecut for easy initiation and powerful exits of turns. I first thought that this was somewhat of a gimick, but the first time I rode it, could definately tell the difference. I could just put all my weight and force into the turn, and the thing would hold an edge like a pimp and his money...tight. The dual radius sidecut allows you to carry your speed out of the turn so much that you really have to get used to not washing out. The thing is very fast and as I said above, extremely powerfull for speed and stability. I rode last years Burton Rippey 156, and this thing is not only 8 cm longer in length, but a helluva lot lighter as well. You could tell that the board is technology driven with it being so powerfull and light, although you will pay for the technology. It's a little bit steeper than your average board, but it will also out perform your average board. I think that it's worth every penny. I've ridden quite a few different boards, and this by far is the best yet. Keep it to Nitro to be on the cutting edge of technology and yet be so innovative at the same time. Highly recommended!!
