Expert reviews 1
The Ride Magic Stick 147 is an all-mountain-oriented board that handles powder flotation, groomer edge hold and park tricks, and its greatest characteristic is the pop and playful flex produced by Carbon Array 3. It suits intermediate-to-advanced riders who enjoy varied terrain and want to add freestyle elements. That said, riders who put hard carving and high-speed charging first may find it wanting in edge hold.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile built for all-mountain performance, supporting powder float and groomer edge hold at once. Carbon Array 3 technology gives it pop without being excessively stiff.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A playful soft-to-medium flex that makes trick moves like butters, nose presses and tail presses easy. It does lack a locked-in feel during hard carving on firm snow.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It suits intermediate to advanced riders. That said, hardcore advanced riders who prefer digging hard into carves or charging at speed may find it somewhat lacking.
Good
- ✓Carbon Array 3 keeps it playful in flex while still having pop
- ✓It provides stable confidence when landing off rollers and jumps
- ✓It supports varied freestyle moves including butters, nose/tail presses, rails and boxes
- ✓It has all-mountain versatility, providing powder flotation and groomer edge hold at once
Not so good
- —The sense of the edge locking in during carves on firm snow is lacking
- —Not a true twin, so it isn't the optimal board for switch riding
- —Somewhat insufficient for advanced riders who enjoy high-speed charging or aggressive carving
