Slays it All - All I Need

Everything about this board is just amazing. Coming off of an old Ride Decade 151 gave me a lot of perspective on how the tech performs on this deck. Slimewalls offer a smooth board feel on the hill and on rail features. Lowrize rocker is great for floating in the pow and not being hooky or twitchy; also great for spins and landings when you are a little forward/back in the spin and able to hold it down for the landing and not washout. Had some worries that it might be too soft for being able to charge the steeps but a few runs in I knew this was the perfect choice. You can rally this board down anything and feel completely stable but it is still playful to butter around and press the box. The Carbon Array 3 keeps the board poppy in the nose and tail and helps keep the edge when needed. If you are the type of rider who is on the first chair of the day to catch those perfect pow runs and then for the afternoon throws down on every feature in the park - The Machete is what you need.
