Steal of a Deal, Get on board!

By Ranked #4672 - Boards February 24, 2009

I recently was able to ride my board for the first time and was very happy with the performance. I got a regular 158 and the graphics on it are really nice and simple. Mine has the hot neon green and it really pops with the black and white accents. The board has a medium flex so it's great for all mountain riding and messing around in the park. I've rode it twice now and it's a great board for the type of riding that I'm in to, which is all mountain cruising and beginner park. I was hesitant on whether or not to get a wide board, but I'm very happy with this standard model and I have not gotten any toe or heel drag(by the way I where a size 10.5 boot). Overall, great board for the price with sick graphics and I'm sure with a few more rides on it I would end up giving it a five star status. I just haven't had the time to really experiment with it.
