Bought this board at the beginning of the 2010/2011 season, was a bit unsure at first due to the fact im not a park monkey but guy who sold it explained its attributes which are pretty special - i bought a 151cm riding goofy with Lexa bindings. I’ve considered myself a pretty good intermediate riding mostly on piste however this year with this board I’ll pretty much try anything!! Its gave me super amount of confidence riding steep, trees, pow-pow, icy stuff and whats better I’m not on the piste much anymore. Fantastic board with HUGE amount of potential to excel your riding. The frostbite edges are amazing - cutting into hard stuff and stopping in a heartbeat. The board is also superfast with the vapourskin and is solid in the pow-pow. I love it!
