at Tatamagouche Favorite place to ride:
Wentworth Riding Style:
All Mountain/Freeride Product Year:
2002 Summary:
Nice width as i have big feet, Medium flex so its relatively forgiving on jumps, i can think of nicer graphics but these aren't bad at all, people say this is just a beginner board but they're full of crap. Its good for caving all out and its got really good edge to edge responce. I hit the park just as frequently as i carve and its done me no wrong yet. Its my baby. Strengths:
Strong, works equally well in or out of park. Awesome on edge to edge. Great fro carving. Transworld magizine named it one of the top 25 boards on the planet. got it on a big old sale tho, thats why so cheap. Weaknesses:
Scratches very easily, top and bottom.
Edges nick up easily too, so you've got to be carefully on what you ride it over. I don't like that part. I'd like a faster board, this ones plenty faster than some i've used tho so i shouldn't complain. Similar Products Used:
Rentals, avalanche d63, burton Air.

at on ebay, brand new Favorite place to ride:
local mtn Riding Style:
All Mountain/Freeride Product Year:
2001 Summary:
very nice board, excellent price,great begginer board Strengths:
Im cheap so PRICE,I like the graphics (have 163) some others said they where chessey..i like them,very forgiving if you mess up a little,fairly light,for a first time board can't beat it..why spend over 400 for a 1st board???Still in beginning/intermediate stages so still seeing what this board can do...just used it for freerding to date.I see this board lasting me a while Weaknesses:
Not too many, a little chipping around the top sheet edges nothing major, would of preffered a board a little more flexible but its a freeride board so....,
OH almost forgot not sure if this is common with new boards but had to use round metal brush attachment for dremel to get glue/epoxy/??? out of insert threads...couldn't even begin to tighten screws on some inserts threads were covered w/ hardened gunk...once that was done screws went in fine. Similar Products Used:
rentals..crap...like night and day,owner your own is ten times better
