For the past season I’ve been riding a 2011 Rossi Angus 158 (mid-wide) and really like it.  I’m thinking of building a quiver and am considering a Never Summer Legacy as my all mountain/freeride stick.


About me: 6’0”, 185, intermediate.  All mountain/park = 90/10.  Like to ride groomers, hit natural features, tree and bump riding.  Park is mostly jumps for now.  Would like to step it up in the park though, and intend to use my Angus as my park board.


What do you think about the Legacy?  Too similar to the Angus, or a good complement?  If not the Legacy, any other suggestions?


Cheers!

Hey,

the SL/Legacy surely is a great allmountain ride, flexwise on the stiffer side and definitely stiffer than your Angus!

They are similar boards but as you already mentioned, I wouldn’t take the SL in the park. On the other hand, you can use the Angus pretty well in pow and hitting naturals and that stuff.
So maybe you want to save the money until your Angus is worn out and you need another ride anyway?

You could get a park specific board then (if you feel like you really are into park after playing around with the Angus a little bit) and a stiffer allmountain ride.

Just an idea..
