Expert reviews 1
A soft true twin with 3BT, a park board specialised for jibbing and pressing. Jibbing (5/5) and turning (5/5) make it ideal for creative park riding, and the lack of catch makes it easy for beginners to handle. Speed, carving and powder are all given up, though, so it isn't suited to big jumps or aggressive riding.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
A true twin with 3BT laid onto traditional camber. The lifted contact points mean no edge catch when jibbing, and it uses a sintered base.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
An officially soft flex of 2 out of 10 (about 3 as felt on snow). Presses and butters are very easy and low-speed handling is excellent. In exchange, it folds on big jumps and at speed.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Easy to turn and catch-free so beginners can handle it, and it also fits advanced park riders using presses and jibs creatively. It isn't a board for aggressive riding, though.
Good
- ✓Top-tier jibbing (5/5) — a highly polished press-focused park board
- ✓Turning rates 5/5 and spins, switch and butters all rate 4.5/5
- ✓3BT keeps the edges from catching on rails
- ✓3rd of 28 freestyle boards (89.7/100)
Not so good
- —Speed and carving are weak at 2/5
- —Not suited to powder (2.5/5)
- —On big jumps the flex folds and can't really be said to hold up
