Review:
Mislabeled rail killer. This is a "beginner" board, due to its simplicity to ride. It glides into turns and links with little to no effort. But this board shines on rails. Its perfectly balanced for a woman's weight for all terrain, and has just enough stiffness to land some serious airs. This was my girlfriends first snowboard, and after the purchase of her "good" board, this became her terrain park killer. The only downfall is its construction, which seems to be holding up so far, but we'll see. So far no problems, just doesn't seem to be that good to last years. If it lasts through 2009 I'll be impressed. But still, excellent beginner board.

Great for rails, decent on jumps but unforgiving on bad landing

Review:
This board gets a 5 if you ride it for its intentions, which are clearly stated in the summery that's stuck to the snowboard when you receive it. You can bend this board into a u with your arm strength (if you're decently strong) which is great for rails. Its decent on jumps, but unforgiving on a bad landing. You either risk your knees saving the board or break it in half if you hit a massive kicker. But a terrain park, this is a 5 star winner. The graphics of running paint pinstripes are a good look for a rail board. Enjoy!

Review:
This board is a step down from last years model on 1 point, the ultra high gloss mirror polished surface. Due to this, it doesnt build ice on the topsheet, but it makes riding without a stomp impossible. At first glance, its very stiff. But it breaks in fast. The board has incredible pop, and the updated graphics are clean, yet elegant. The sintered base is extremely fast, and the cut of the board overall makes it an excellent ride. The nose is also strengthened with Forums ice breaker plate covering the tip to prevent the nose from getting cracked. White with gold pin stripes and diamonds, the board screams p-i-m-p, but the gloss deck gives it -.5 point.
