Palmer Carbon Circle Freeride

Palmer Carbon Circle Freeride 

DESCRIPTION

This board by Shaun Palmer handles anything--it's stable at high speeds, affords great all-mountain control and is versatile in the park/pipes.. 3D technology in the wood core reduces weight and increases strength, all for unparalleled stability and a smooth ride. Featuring two layers of carbon fiber strips for increased strength and liveliness, plus extra energy and powerful rebounds without added weight. CCT (Composite Core Technology) utilizes different core materials such as honeycomb and wood for light weight with superior riding performance. Unique 3D cap-sandwich construction takes the best of both worlds for ultimate direction in edge power with better edge grip, control and response. Palmer uses only multidirectional pre-impregnated fiberglass laminates for ultralight torsional stiffness and an even longitudinal flex. ABS tip and tail protectors for a low swing-weight and high impact-resistance for protection through rough crud. Isospeed BX base is super fast and durable in all temperatures and conditions, with easy care and repair to boot. .

Strength:

When things got squirrelly, this board has saved my ass from some gnarly crashes on some of the hardest landings you can imagine by holding when it has to but giving when its needed its almost like its just "knows". Do your self, & your riding the best favor you could ever wish for… buy a legacy. Las Cruces truck oil change

I like this board a lot even though it is getting older now I am still hesitant to get another board. Great Flex, a lot of support, tuns of pop. I find it is easy to control the ollie on this board. Turns like race car, and is fast as one too. Good side cut, but can get away from you. I have had a few late day tired tumbles. I find it to be very versitile. I ride a 158 for almost all conditions and terrain.

Strength:

Fast fast fast base: 7200 iso - carbon Stiff Snappy It really progresses your riding, since it isn't forgiving, you have to have very good/perfect technique all the time... which really helps out in the wrong run.

Weakness:

None. Don't get this board if you aren't comfortable going fast, or feel that a stiff board will dictate your line.

This board is amazing. It's very stiff, and loves to go fast. Carves well, edges stay sharp for a long time, haven't lost an edge on it once yet. Definately more stable at high speeds. This board really wants to point straight down hill, so you really have to be alert, and can't get away with being lazy when you're ridin it; it can be pretty unforgiving. Being a stiff board, it can be pretty tough in the park as well, you've really gotta be on your game when in the park/pipe... but hey, that's what you want anyway, isn't it?

Weakness:

The design is to flashy. A lot of people know the board, and they know it is expensive, so I guess that is the reason why it got stolen from the locker in the hotel room.

The board is very stable a high speed, reacts very good in turns. The board was very good in pouder snow. I loved the board.

Wow, talk about fast. Felt like a BMW with the throttle stuck open. Supercontrollable at speed. Stiff, fast, carves great. Works best at high-speed.

A nice stiff and strong board (158). I got to use it in crud (Sugarloaf) and fresh pow (Whistler), and it handled both fine. A friend of mine noticed it was a bit slow. So I took off the factory wax and put on a fresh coat. Made a big difference!
