2002 Summary:
Wicked board. Last board was K2 Eldorado so hard act to follow but it rips. Great carving board and very fast. This board turns itself. I think about it and the board does the rest. Someone said in an earlier post that its like an extension of one's self. It is. Not bad in the powder Strengths:
Speed and carving Weaknesses:
In terms of riding...none, notta, zlich. Aesthetically, graphics are lacking. Guess they figured didn't need the cool graphics to attract riders - better to let the ride of the board sell it than a pretty picture!

2001 Summary:
This is my second board ever. I have been snowboarding for 5 years now so i know what a good board should be like. i have tried some of my friends boards such as (Forum, Sims, and Burton) and like the Salomon's the best. They have a very fast base and are easy to wax. The board is stiff which is good for manuals nose pressing and landing bigs jumps. Strengths:
-very stiff
-good edge to edge very fast
-very fast base
-good pop Weaknesses:
-the graphics suck but whatever who cares just pick some stickers on it.
-the top sheet on the board peels or gets chuncks taken out easily. Similar Products Used:
Forum-Peter Line
Sims-FSR 400
Sims-Tina Basich

2001 Summary:
I'm an "intermediate beginner" and have found this board to be very responsive and forgiving - yet a blast to ride! Lots of speed on the groomers, doesn't chatter to badly on the crud, and bites on the turns. Strengths:
Price/value.
Stability.
Construction. Weaknesses:
A little stiff at first, but breaks in nicely.
Graphics are weak (oh well).
A few chips on the top sheet already. Similar Products Used:
