I only used these boards for one day but did not like them, I don't know whether they are not for me or I am not right for them, but I do know that they have won the X-Games and some believe that what counts, I don't. They are the longest pair here and therefore they are the fastest, and the heaviest. They are only good in the air, and landings are a breeze once you can figure out how to get htem up there. They are long and have a generous sidecut, however since they are long, they cannot carve as well as some other models. They are also very good in powder, upto 8 inches feels natural. The boards and bindings combination is virtually indestructible even after a bad 720 landing, but the colors are ugly and seem to discourage people of trying the sport. These boards proved themselves in the X-Games, but do not get my good side because their characteristics are more of skiis then os Skiboards.
