Nidecker Megalight UG Snowboard - Wide - 2009 BCS

The crown you find on the new Nideckers is justified, they are king indeed. I've only been riding the new ultimate grip163w for 7 days (at Kirkwood, CA), but I'd have to say that this design changes everything. You masters at Nidecker have managed to make all my other boards obsolete. The only other brand I care to ride is Lib Tech, and I do love the reverse camber, and the magne-traction. Nidecker is better, and by far lighter. Now that there is a spruce core, this should be the absolute ultimate split-board, and I will make one eventually this season. (I'll write a review on it, and please, if anyone else has done this to this board, write us a review, pretty please!) My new mega-light with the ultimate grip seems to be a true zero camber, which I love, but was wondering if there is a reverse camber model? I despise standard camber now, and love the reverse for ease of turning, lack of catching an edge, speed and float in deep pow. HOWEVER, I find that the "zero camber" I seem to have is best for absolutely everything, and is not too buttery, especially for icy or steep situations. Ultimate grip is way better and much faster than Lib Tech's magne-traction. I found myself higher and faster than some skiiers. I'm only just now discovering there is an even lighter model, the ultra-light, and will definitely buy one as soon as I can get it. Actually, I will need 2, as this is clearly the best split board design. I'm sure the savings in weight will actually be magical, and even safer if you are B/C, since a heavier board would make you exhausted much faster. I have thought to make a "banana split" Lib Tech, and would love to hear reviews on that. Does the banana rock in skin-up mode like I think it would? I think the Nidecker once again is better and much safer on steep icy cliffs that are always in the back country, with the zero camber and "U-grip". Who wants to be super man on a snowboard? WORTH THE MONEY!I read a review stating Nidecker delaminates pre-maturely, but I couldn't imagine such a thing. They must be riding icy parks and groomers with it, as I am SO hard on my decks, but never have managed to have trouble other than rocks. Finally, I see more people riding Nidecker, but am surprised they are not more popular. I think that is about to change. Thank you guys in Switzerland for your huge advances in our riding, we that have the deck REALLY REALLY appreciate it, and thanks for not charging us $1500 like Burton! Darren D
