CHEAPLY MADE IMHO

By Ranked #2799 - Boards April 20, 2009

This is just my opinion, and some might say i ride rough, but my board didn't stand up to rail use. I ride mostly park in the northeast. I had this board for 6 days. In the first 5days i can say the board was light, poppy, mid flex, super responsive, great dampening, stable at high speeds, and super fun. But on that 6th day, the same thing that makes this board fun (slimewalls) was the downfall! I hit a burr on a round rail doing a boardslide and it caved in my edge like a semi-circle and pushed my edge out on the bottom. Totally wrecked the board but landed my trick. That i wouldn't call good craftsmanship! 6 days on snow!! Come on!! But i tore the base and edge out and super glued base from an old board covered with marine eppoxy and it came back to life. Best rock board i have ever had. Maybe you will have better results
