By Ranked #33 - Boards October 23, 2009

I won this snowboard at a video premiere and finally got the chance to ride it yesterday... first impression? LOVE IT. It's crazy light thanks to the slimewalls sidewalls and membrain topsheet, there is seriously no swing weight when I spin onto rails. It's also super stable at high speeds and doesn't feel as "grabby" as my GNU B-Street in the snow. Don't get me wrong, it still holds its edge really well, I rode it over ice and it didn't fail me. As for pressability, right out of the packaging, it's stiffer than my B-Street, but I'm sure it will soften up over time. This was my first time I ever rode a Ride and I'm sold! Love it! Also love the lowrize rocker! It's not like an OBVIOUS rocker, but it's there, and I like it. I will definitely be riding this board more :D
