This board is amazing, it is so fast and it turns amazingly. I am so sad they stopped making it. If you ever have a chance of buying this board DO IT WITHOUT THINKING!!!. Strengths:
Super fast, Amazing turns, super stiff, handles anything you throw at it. Weaknesses:
The top of mine has some scrathes on it, but what the hell did you expect?

2001 Summary:
I love this board! From this first day I bought it's been great! Super stiff and responsive, crazy sidecut, and F*@&#$' Light!!! Strengths:
Super fast edge-to-edge, Faster you ride more stable it gets. Super stiff and light.
Great for any style of riding, I bought a 162 and go everywhere with it. Weaknesses:
Not to much to gripe about here. I hear a lot of people complaining about the topsheet but mine has been great. Sure it has a few scratches, but it's a freakin' snowboard, it's bound to happen. Just watch in the lift line if you're that concerned. Similar Products Used:
Craig Kelly Mystery Air, Bryan Iguchi Pro model(where the FL shape came from), Burton Balance, Burton Custom, K2 Zepplin, Never Summer Premier.

All Mountain/Freeride Product Year:
1999 Summary:
To start i just want to say this was the most BEAUTIFUL snowboard I've ever seen especially with the red & white custom bindings from 99. They looked awesome with the bright blue top of 157 FL. The board was very rigged and responsive. It was kinda like a factory sports car compaired to one modified for racing. Definately not for begginers. The sad part is after only having the board for 2 weeks someone stole that board and an old S. Palmer board i had outside on a resteraunt after ridding. I had a New Years trip already planned for Snowshoe just 10 days away and luckily i was able to swing a deal and get a Jim Rippey Before going. If anyone out there sees a simaliar board on the east coast let me know. Of course it would help if i had the serial number on me but i don't. Strengths:
To many to list. Everything. Weaknesses:
Looks good enough to steal.

2000 Summary:
so light so fast its dangerous, not for the beginner or intermediate. Strengths:
so reponsive, the smallest of movements is neede to get what you want from the board. if your not ready it will throw you. in the pipe its has so much spring. Weaknesses:
at high speeds you can get the wobbles, im heavy ish, and i went for the 158, slightly too small, but in the park and pipe it rules. Similar Products Used:
lib techs, good but not as stiff.

2000 Summary:
Awesome top of the line freestyle board if you have the $$$ to buy it. Otherwise wait till the end of the season to get it a little cheaper. Strengths:
This board is AWESOME! It's stiff, FAST, and very stable at high speeds. Great in powder, as well as any conditions that the local mtns such as Snow Summit & Bear Mtn can throw at you. Weaknesses:
The top sheet scratches easily.
It's pricy if you buy it at retail price. Similar Products Used:
