Nidecker NDK Advanced - 2010
The winner of two Transworld Good Wood awards over the years, the NDK Advanced is back for another winter of jibbing and bonking all over the mountain. Soft torsional flex and longitudinal flex at the tip and tail so you can get down and dirty with a bit of pole sliding, and a 2cm setback stance to give a little versatility when the weather decides to turn and the park gets covered in the good stuff.
Manufacturer's Description:
A genuine twin-tip step back, for powerful freestyle moves: this is the all-round board for powder jibbers and city freestylers… The absolute weapon of rail-killers and double cork-lovers. This freestyle series is all-round and adapts to all the games you wanna play. Art on the advanced is a style rebirth for the « Forever Young » collective, who used an original typography approach, for their second design collaboration. This board will suit a large public with style.

Snowboard Review:
The Advanced is a great park board. Nidecker market it as a very jib-focussed board but in all honesty it tackles the whole mountain competently and leaves you with a big smile across your face. I found the Advanced soft enough both longitudinally and laterally to jib around and make the most of rails but it had a surprising amount of pop at low speeds. A strong pop combined with a smooth demeanour when hitting large kickers and quarterpipes makes this board the perfect choice for taking your park riding to the next level; you’ll also be glad to hear that the Advanced feels very stable when approaching jumps at speed.
Due to a fairly mellow longitudinal flex pattern the Advanced floats surprisingly well in fresh snow and when you take it on the piste the although it doesn’t carve like it’s on rails it still holds a clean edge and is much more responsive than a lot of other boards in the park board category. My only criticism of this board is that there are only 8 inserts at each binging position as opposed to the usual 12 that most manufacturers use. This means that your stance is either; wide, centred, small or directional. Other than the stance options the Advanced is a very fun, smooth and playful deck that is very well priced; so if you’re looking for a park board that will help give you that silky smooth style you’ve been looking for then the Advanced is definitely worth checking-out.

Hello, I am about to buy this board in size 157 cm. My question is I am 6’3”, 194 pounds, beginner to intermediate level looking to go down the mountain. Do you think the size is appropriate for me? I have ridden 160, 162 and 159 before and I can say out of all of them I liked the 159 better.
Please let me know what you think.
