Apo MTD - 2010
The APO MTD has been around for years and had a number incarnations including the A Board Method. With all that heritage you can be sure the MTD is as refined as it gets, carbon cross members to add torsional rigity between the bindings for holding highspeed carves and riding out lumpy backcountry kickers and a dual density Poplar core for extra pop. A classic all terrain freestyle board for experienced snowboarders.
Manufacturer's Description:
Transform the mountains into a giant park. Gérôme worked on the new construction of this board so that he could land the tricks that he first learnt in the park over big gaps or backcountry kickers. The result is really exciting: the MTD has a powerful pop and great stability. It is available in 3 widths to fit any boot size.

Good board for low speed turns park pipe only. Flex- 1 being soft and 10 stiff I’d list it ass a 1-2. Not sure why it’s sold as a high speed backcountry kicker board. Park Kickers maybe! This noodle chops out easy at high speeds. I weigh 130 and I’m 5 foot 6. I’m used to riding 157 sig. Option-a directional freeride for realy meant for backcountry kickers. Much more stable at high speeds in pow! But this board will be good for crusing at low to mod speeds and pipe riding and jibing/bluntslids something I miss from the noodle 90’s boards! It really brings me back to those days! Pipe riding well we will see when our pipe opens this season. Seems to be pretty quick edge to edge when making quick turns and ride alright through the bumps at moderate speeds but chops out as soon as you real turn the speed up to man level. Probably mainly due to the fact it’s a twin and not meant to be rode like a all mountion freeride! Twins are park boards and allways will be!
