Expert reviews 2
A park-to-all-mountain directional twin created by Canon Cummings and the GNU team, a stiff high-performance board characterised by strong pop and an aggressive tail. Controlling it takes considerable strength and time to adapt, but once you're used to it, it shows outstanding versatility across jumps, rails and side hits in the park. It's optimised for advanced park riders who prefer an aggressive, straightforward riding style over playful or surfy riding.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
An aggressive all-terrain counter construction with camber underfoot and a touch of rocker between the bindings. It reverses the usual rocker-camber-rocker layout, focusing on delivering strong pop and ollies.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-to-stiff flex that's hard to handle at first, but once you get used to it provides strong pop and aggressive tail response. Like a skateboard, the pop is concentrated under the back foot.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A medium-to-stiff flex means controlling the board takes considerable strength and skill, and the active muscular input it demands makes it unsuitable for beginners and intermediates.
Good
- ✓Very strong pop and ollie performance makes it outstanding for park riding
- ✓Stable carving with strong hold once you get up on the edge
- ✓Magnetraction secures grip even on icy snow
- ✓Versatile performance across the park — jumps, rails and side hits
Not so good
- —Its high stiffness demands strength, makes it hard to handle and leaves it short on playfulness
- —Slow edge-to-edge transitions make it unsuitable for surfy or turn-heavy riding
- —Not backcountry-oriented, so usefulness in powder is limited
