Really decent pop and that’s partly thanks to that camber in the profile – so you can definitely get some good ollying going on this board or great pop over rollers, side-hits or jumps. Can handle bigger jumps but more fun on the smaller variety. Really shines on small to medium jumps (IMHO). I couldn’t say for sure why, but the softer flex would definitely have played a part and also the hybrid rocker profile probably helped too. There was a fair bit of bumpy stuff lower down the mountain the day I rode this board – and I was thankful that I was riding this board. ![]() It’s got a sintered base, so that helps (just keep it waxed!) That’s the thing with an All-Mountain deck, you’ve got to compromise on some things if you want just one board for everything.īut stability at speed isn’t too bad and it runs nicely when you hit a flat-section or slight up-hill. There are better boards for breakneck speed, but this board can handle a bit of speed for sure. That said, I think the edge-hold is better on this deck than it used to be now that it has the frost-bit edges. ![]() The edge hold isn’t amazing – it was a board that was a lot more fun to ride in the softer stuff than in the icy stuff – but I wouldn’t expect it from a softer board with a fair bit of rocker in the profile. In terms of turning, this board is really effortless to turn on and was quick from edge-to-edge. Too soft and too loose to really lay into deep carves. It does have a 0.5” (12.5mm) setback and there’s plenty of rocker in the profile. Better than I had expected to be fair.īut thinking about it now, I’m less surprised. Not a lot of powder on the day but when I found the occasional pocket the float on this board was really quite good. ![]()
