Christian Brooks's review
Great hard charger. I'd consider this a bit more of a very aggressive and stiff all mountain board than a true "carving board" and, on that front, its probably as much board as most anybody wants for hard charging at the resort, but man.... what a pleasure this board is to ride. I seldom if ever take this deck out on weekends as the turning radius is a little too big and its needs to be going fast to have appropriate response for maneuvering crowds, but weekday mornings on wide open groomers are quite the experience on this board. Don't size down, either -go big on this thing and use it as it was designed.
