Forgot about freeriding? Not Nitro

By Ranked #43 - Boards July 21, 2008

It looks like most brands have forgotten about guys like me that like to freeride more than they like to be in a park. If there's a couple inches of fresh you'll find me in the trees. I rode the Pantera last season after a buddy of mine got one. I loved it, it's incredibly fast edge to edge and rides like it knows what turn you're going to make next. The base is hard and fast, after demoing a Blacklight last season I understand you don't have to wax the FX base which is great for me. The flex is on the stiffer side like a good freeriding board should be. It held an edge at all speeds and felt confident without any chatter. I like that Nitro has a two year warranty and would choose this board over the Burton Super Model and Custom X any day.
