I have the Jackpot 154cm (2011/2012)
The jackpot is a sick board. Super fun on park and floats perfectly on powder. Is totally worth the money. You can ride this board all winter and you know is gonna deliver.
If you have ridden a YES. Basic, it’s pretty much the same but a bit softer flex, specially between the bindings.
Easy to lock on presses, lots of pop, nice and lively, light….And camrock works perfectly I think it has the best of both worlds.
The only thing is that the base is a bit slow and it doesn’t seem to hold the wax very well. I ride everyday and I’m not the kind of person that wax his board after every use…. I know some people has had the same issue with their YES. Jackpot and some other say that the base works perfectly….. Maybe I just got one out of a bad production lot. Or It just needs more care….which is not gonna happen.
Anyways, my overall impression is that is an amazing board.
If you’re the kind of rider that likes to ride the whole mountain like a big snowpark but also loves to hit some rails and park jumps maybe after a few powder runs…why not. This is the board for you. Not a big mountain gun, not a noodle.
Plus, in my opinion YES. is the coolest company out there these days.

definatly agree with the last reveiws. awesome boards. lots of grips on icy patches and groomed snow. has nice pop because of the camrock. simply love the board…
but there is one thing i dont like… the quality. i cracked the top later and the iside on the tail and it started to poke out the bottom. the top had a spider web crack about 5 inches in diameter. this was my first time taking the board to the mountain. and i was pretty upset as im not a hard rider.
i got a new 2013 YES jackpot from the warrenty and the same thing happened just not as bad. i honestly wouldnt get one just because i cant ride a board now knowing if it gonna fall appart on me at any moment. the way these boards are made need to be chaged. built stronger….unless i really got 2 defective boards which i doubt…
