Jones Snowboards The Mountain Twin Snowboard - 2010 BCS

Simply amazing stick!! The first time out, it felt I had been riding it forever. It did everything I asked, and I had instant confidence in it. The Mountain Twin has the hybrid rocker camber combination that most makers have put into their lines this year. Made famous in 2009/10 by the Rossi Angus, the technology just works. The rocker tips float in pow, and the traditional camber helps you enter and hold a line in the turns. What does this board have over the other rocker \camber boards: it's a true twin, and it has the Jones’ version of Mervin’s Magnetraction. Rather than pronounced bumps, this board has what looks more like little waves. A nice compromise, these subtle little waves give you that little bit extra when cutting through the ice or maneuvering crud. The see-through top sheet and limited graphics are awesome, and the board rides as good as it looks. If you are fortunate enough to find one, buy it quick.....

WoW... I called & called on deciding between this board and a Rossignol Angus Board. Every one recommended the Jones Board because of all the hype this board had. I followed the advice & got this board on Tuesday & already the top sheet is peeling. What JUNK! It also isn't that great of a ride.. The NOSE sinks in real easy on powder. So you gotta really lean back on it if you want it to stay afloat... the ride was pretty hard to push around. I have never ridden a Magne Traction board but if this is what it feels like NO WAY they could keep it. I'll try Mervins magne-traction later.. but I WILL STAY AWAY FROM THESE JONES BOARD.. I'll be returning this today which is Friday!! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

Took this board out to Snowbird yesterday - and it was fun! I have had my eye on this board for a while because I prefer this camber profile and wanted mag (I currently have a Gnu with c2btx and a Prior AMF split which has the same camber profile as the Jones - I love the prior but always wished it had mag - The Jones is my ideal board). My only concern with this one was whether it would be as stiff as I wanted. Turns out it's not that stiff (I would agree with the medium flex designation). But what it lacks in stiffness it makes up for in fun. This thing is as poppy as a rocker board is going to get. It butters like a dream. Spins like it was made to do it. It is pretty forgiving. Turn initiation is a breeze. The base is FAST! The board is light (threw some Burton C60s on it). There really isn't any adjustment period with this board - I threw it on and threw it down the first run. Will probably have to bust out a stiffer ride for the big lines. But this is a great all mountain jib board!

I would say the board description on the Jones website and here will give you an accurate idea of what to expect.
