Strength:

Speed - Very very fast Control Flex

Weakness:

Like fine china. Treat it mean and it'll need replaced quickly! In powder I didn't find it that stable.

Fast and stable with good flex, holds an edge well and decent for jibbing. Easily damaged, the top layer is not durable, the base is sintered and flies. Mine has not delaminated yet, but its pretty beaten up - gonna use it just for the park

Strength:

Great for all aspects of riding. Good pop, nice for park jumps, rails, and riding on a butter afternoons.

Weakness:

You cant ride this board for a year without having one of the edges delaminating if you ride on a regular basis.

This board is awesome when its not in for warranty. The stiffness of the board gives is supreme pop and excellent stability. Downtime while its in for warranty really sucks because you have to take a step down to your old board (old but still ridable).

blah blah blah

Ok chicks and dudes heres my two cents- Great board. Everything you've read about this in the previous reviews I can say are pretty much true. The board is delicate not the the most durable of choices, so have some epoxy handy On the bright side if you want to up your game this is definantley the tool YOU need! effortlessly fly over table tops, kickers - make sure to have you seat belt fastend and enjoy the view. Pop on them rails with confidence trust yourself and the board it will do its job. Worth every penny. Hard to find so best of luck. Ride or DIE!

Strength:

Good in the Park, Pipe & pow. Has real good pop! Easy turn initiation. Nice graphics on top & base.

Weakness:

I feel this board is a little on the heavy side. Edges ding fairly easy.

This is a great all mountain board. From the Pow to the Park & pipe this baby handles it all. Nice and smooth and awesome edge hold even on ice. Great edge to edge response. Makes you a better rider and soon as you strap in.

Strength:

graphics are kool, altho i still miss the normal m3 logo on the bottom (not the new flashy one). its stiff as heck, feels very solid, high speed cruiser, core is rock solid. makes that beautiful solid M3 sound when you plop it on the ground. and it feels great when you hit the jibs. no floppyness at all.. SOLID board

Weakness:

it is kinda.. stiff.. iunno if its gonna wear down or not, but first time i went down and a couple runs after that, i tried manuals just on the normal snow, and the tail didnt bend at all, my body jus rose and it slid only onthe metal edge at the bottom, very peculiar, plus its a bit heavier then my old cap, (again.. RIP)

pretty good board, i got it for free because my m3 cap was two months old and snapped on the tail after a huge step down. i loved that board, RIP... but the new sidewall is iunno... STIFFF... its incredibly stable at high speeds, i found myself flying down the mountain effortlessly when i never went that fast before, took a BUNCHA runs to get used to tho.. i like it.. its a bit bigger then my old board so i cant really spin as well as before but its a nice board.. i gave it a 5 star because mine is quite a bargain *did i mention.. free? =)*

top sheet chips easily, but you will get that with most sandwich contruction.

Nice board, will not chatter at high speeds and holds an edge well.
