I'm still trying to determine the best way to approach the ""pull"" of the bungee and I'm hoping it will slightly loosen in time. I'm also quite satisfied with the position of the crampons and the ease of both steep uphills, downhills, and laterals. The high value rating was due to the 30% discount I received at an ""end-of-season"" sale. Durham Pro Mobile Mechanic

i demo'd this board with cartels on a heavy powder day in march. i was skeptical... the guy in shop said it rides shorter due to its progressive tapering and made to ride with your back stance more to the rear. first run down i knew this board was a super fun board. cut like a trained chef knife. turns were crisp! control was amazing. and.. it floated... i mean just floated thru the poweder. what an excellent super fun powder board. my only whine is that the board has no real dampering so it's a strain on the knees in the chops. by the end of the day my knees were aching.

i demo'd four boards in mammoth. this one was number 2 on the list. ended up buying the neversummer t5. demo this one and you'll know why!
