This board is for the intermediate-expert rider who wants to make the most out of every run. For all-mountain riding, it slashes and cuts on a dime. With the flat-to-rocker profile, it allows you to get creative and doesn't punish you if you make a mistake or land slightly off balance. This also helps with flat ground tricks, although the carbon hot rods make the middle of the board stiffer than the tip and tail, so it will take a little extra effort to flex. I wouldn't say it's the easiest board for flat ground, but it just takes a little practice to find the sweet spot. With the sintered base, it wants to go fast and can hold up surprisingly well at speed due to the carbon hot rods. I'm able to lay out some really clean carves. As great as it is all-mountain, the park is where this board really shines. For boxes and rails, the flat base really locks into presses and allows extra contact so you feel stable. It's not the easiest board to jump; you really need to have a strong ollie since the profile doesn't provide any natural pop. For small and medium jumps, it does well, but it can be tricky landing larger jumps, and easily slides out if you land off balance. This board is perfect for a looser, less technical rider who wants to get creative in and out of the park without getting punished if they mess up.
