Summary:
This is a super solid, stiff, and fast board. Ride wasn't kidding when they set out to make this the ultimate freeriding board. So far on ice, slush and a little bit of pow pow the board has been just as nice as my Timeless only stiffer and more nimble, ollies are huge on this thing. But, it can be tougher on your quads than the Timeless because it is not as damp a ride and your legs have to absorb what little chatter is generated.

Strengths:
Its length combined with the stiff flex keep my 160lbs from sinking in the powder. Turns are lightning quick yet the board is stable at high speeds, I haven't tested it in all conditions yet though, mostly rode spring snow this weekend. The base is super hard and holds wax well. Overall the constructions seems to be really solid, I decided to go with this board over my 155 Timeless because of its stiffer flex and quicker turning since I've started riding in the trees more. Also, nobody wanted this board around here so it went to half off, the price was right!

Weaknesses:
Could be lighter but I think durability was what they were after. Only one size
