Nitro Swindle Snowboard - 2008

When I originally got the board, I was looking for something for take everywhere, especially every feature in the park. This board rips hard over groomers and gives you the stability you need on rails. However, it didn't quite have the flex I was looking for and is a bit stiffer than more park boards. In landing tail heavy off a table top, the board didn't give as much as I hoped and my tail snapped. Still giving this board 5 stars because it's incredible on rails and is a sweet ride. My fault for taking such a short, stiff board off a large booter. Would definitely get this board if I was focused more on rails and street hits.

At camp this was my favorite jib board of the session. It has the perfect flex, in between a Kink and Artifact. I always thought Nitro had stiff boards, not any more. I loved this board for jibbing and smaller jumps like 20ft. The base is so sick, when you hit something it gets scratched through with color, just like your skate deck. It also has the thickest edges I've ever seen on a board. Great pop, nice and soft such a sick deck, love it.

If you like Park and rail you will like Swindle. The Swindle is a very good board for free styler. She is tolerant with a good pop, she is perfect for me who do just park. I test this board and a guys tell me that she have a rail killer edge. It's an edge more deep and so the board is more strong.

for those of you looking for the newest, here it is....this board is awesome.....a soft board that acts like a skate deck when you scratch it.....the base has two layers of base material so each layer gets its own color...when you scratch the board on cheese grater steps or on the street, it shows the battle wounds by leaving the scratches a different color....and when you fill it with clear material you will see the scars for the life of the board....a twin shape and a radial side cut make this a real skate like feeling board on the snow.....and as the above comment mentioned it has what they call a rail killer edge, its a super thick edge to go to battle with on the street.....with a two year warranty you wont regret this board.....

I bought the swindle jon kooley...152 with a different graphic. The board is great for my size and weight (145lb), and even though it is listed as a street board, It performs just as well in the park on jumps. If you want to use it as an all around park board then do it. This board has great edge hold, great pop, and a good flex for all aspects of the park. If you are looking for a jib stick, then make sure you go the smallest you can. otherwise, it is a great choice.

This is the coolist board evr i hope my mom lets me get it so i can acually snow board this year! I LOVE IT! This board ROCKS!!!!!!

This board doesn't look half as cool online as it does in person. Not only does it look sick, its got a great amount of flex. Its amazing on rails, and good on jumps too. Good luck wearing down those thick rail killer edge, and show your skills off with the scratch and rip base. Couldn't have asked for a better board
