English: I rode this board the last 7 days with different weather conditions and i can say that i love this board
about my person: -196cm high -90kilo weight -have got the 172w version of this board
about the board: the pros -very stable at high speed -very forgiving -powdergoddes, the nose won`t dive into the snow no matter what you`re trying to do on this piece of wood -carving is super good, holds the egde very well -magne traction makes ice super easy to ride (i havn´t expected it either but its true) -jumps are easy to land because of the size -its a bit more soft between the feet, so you are hardly able to butter -its light if you think about how big the board is -the graphics are sick -you have enough space to take hot chicks with you (3 are possible, if somebody reaches more: pics or it didn´t happend)
the cons -you´re riding a wall, a wooden door a surfboard so fast turns are a bit more work than on usual shorter boards. -you need more wax when refreshing he wax :D
Deutsch: Ich bin das Brett jetzt 7 Tage am Stück bei unterschiedlichstem Wetter gefahren und kann sagen, dass es echt geil ist!
Zu meiner Person: Ich selbst bin 196cm groß und wiege 90kilo. Ich besitze die 172w Version dieses Bretts.
Zum Brett Das Brett verhält sich bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten super stabil. Es ist mega fehlerverzeihend. Es ist eine absolute Powdermaschine, um mit der Nose zu versineken muss man sich schon völlig blöde anstellen. Ziehwege sind eine Leichtigkeit dank der Größe. Die Kanten sind super stabil, Carven geht richtig gut. Die magne traction macht es auch auf Eis total einfach fahrbar. Es fährt einfach wie auf Schienen und ist dabei super ruhig und easy zu fahren. Sprünge gehen gut, vorallem die Landungen sind schön einfach zu handeln. Das Brett ist zwischen den Füßen etwas weicher als an den Kanten, ws auch buttern erlaubt.
Der Nachteil ist halt das es eine Schranktür ist, ein halbe Hauswand, ein Bügelbrett. Das Brett ist recht schwer, wobei auf die größe umgerechnet auch schon wieder nicht.
Allerdings gerade ausgegeigte hügelige Pisten sind etwas nerviger, da man bei schnellen Turns doch schon etwas arbeiten muss, um das Brett von links nach rechts und umgekehrt zu hiefen (aber was will man bei 172cm Brettlänge auch erwarten).
