This will be my second Yukon. I've ridden my last Yukon for 7 years now and have been riding for 17 years. This is my third Ride and second Yukon. These days I like big mountain natural powder goodness and this board fulfills. I pretty much don't ride parks or pipes anymore so don't listen to me if you're a park rider. Otherwise, this board is sick. If you like steeps, powder, deep snow, and Buy one, ride one, you'll be super happy.

Customer Service

Not sure yet... Bummed they didn't take Amex, but whatever. If I get the board, I'll be happy with them.

This will be my third season in this plank. What a great board. Stiff, turns like it is on rails. Qucik from side to side considering it is a wide board. I ride big mountains and back country. This board never failed me. Wish I could say that abut my Flow bindings I got rid of after one week..

What a board! I've been riding Burton Canyon and Bullet bevore but they are nothing compared to this one. You can cut ice, cruse powder jump kickers. It's stiffer than anything i have been riding. Looking forward for the next winter

Strength:

Stiff, snappy, suprisingly quick edge to edge, great on rails.

Weakness:

Lost it''s pop out of the turns twords the end of the season. For the price, they could put a faster base on the board. Also a bit on the heavy side compared to it''s counterparts on the market.

The Yukon is the best board on the market for a big footed rider, so far. It is wickedly stiff and suprisingly fast edge to edge. It is awesome on rails and on huge kickers, but it is just OK in the pipe. This board has been awesome on a boardercross course and has helped me beat riders on true boardercross snowboards.

Strength:

BC pow, crud, stability at speed. Gives you the confidence of a stable, responsive ride under your feet.

Weakness:

Too stiff for tight trees - but maybe that''s the rider. Not for the park.

Taking a moment on a 90-degree day to relive the highs of last winter. This board is an incredible freeride/BC carver. It will float through powder, bust through crud and stick landings all day on the backside, then rip frontside cruisers on the way to after-ride lounging. It''s stiff but if you''re agressive it will back up your every move. Hang over the edge, load up the tip or the tail and get the sweetest pop to the next turn. Carving is a thing of beauty; riding the pow is ecstatic. Outside of the park and pipe, there''s nothing it can''t handle, short-radius to long carving turns. Buy it, you''re worth it.

Strength:

Super fast, amazingly stable and incredibley easy to turn. A totally different experience to anything else I have experienced. Quite simply amazing!

Weakness:

I got the 64 and the artwork is really bad. Still got the board but must say I am bummed that the 59 and 69 have really cool artwork! Oh well you can''t have everything

This is my first season boarding. I had a second hand K2 Eldorado to learn on and decided to demo a couple of boards at the end of the season. This Board is incredible. I feel like I have developed so much in a couple of days riding this beast! A totally different and new experience. Amazing.

Strength:

Strong base, super stiff, FAST, FAST, FAST, and extreme carving radius. Talk about laying out there on an edge.

Weakness:

If you''re not use to a stiff board there is a break-in period. But don''t be discouraged.

Okay here''s the skinny. If you want a super stiff board that can bust through anything, carve on a dime, is super tough and is almost scary fast...well then welcome to Ride''s version of Nirvana. I''ve been riding a Fleetwood and got this puppy this year and oh man it''s like going from a pinto to a porsche. It''s super stiff which takes some getting use to but the confidence it gives you is unsurpassed. I feel like I can ride anything: ice, Pow, choppy stuff, it doesn''t matter this is THE BOARD I''ve always wanted and could finally afford thanks to a credit card!

Strength:

Super stable, fast, and lively out of turns

Weakness:

One of the higher price boards on the market.

The ride is very stable and will kick you if you out of a turn, and no chatter. Even with the added width, the board is quick edge to edge. The base is super fast and durable.
