When Jeremy Jones needed a snowboard to handle his fearless big-mountain style, he teamed up with Rossignol and together they created the ultra-responsive Jones Snowboard. This burly snowboard offers split-second response time and bomber edge control. Its secret is a durable wood core wrapped in carbon-and-Kevlar reinforcement for snap, pop, and torsional stiffness (sorry, crackle). The Jones Snowboard's fast sintered base smokes down steep lines in Taho, and for Alaskan powder, Jeremy gave it a directional shape with plenty of progressive tip for flotation. No matter where you take this board, its freeride flex pattern keeps you in control. Rossi's stiffest flex upfront initiates turns easily, and the single-radius sidecut keeps those turns big and powerful. A softer flex in the tail smoothes things out for an easy exit.
I'm a newer, intermediate rider...up to this point, I've just been renting a board...usually 150 to maybe 154 at the longest. I'd like to have my own board for next season. Generally I'm just riding the mellow blues, maybe an occasional olly...but might evovle into more. I'm 5'8" and 168# Would this Jones board in a 158 be a good first purchased board for me given the above? Thx!
It will obviously be a good big-mtn board, but because you're on the smaller side, it will be a little harder to handle in groomed or thin conditions. If you really like the board, though, you'll adapt to turning harder, and it will be a more enjoyable ride. I got a board a bit larger than I wanted, but use it for powder more, and turning with every bit of my heart and soul is just an awesome feeling! Lol, good luck man
BEST BOARD I EVER HAD and i tried many- so stable let this board really get going lay into it as hard as you want and you wont find a more solid in control board on the market!
This board is made in Spain, The 2010 model will have Magne-traction as well as a rocker tip. I rode the board about 20 days this season, it took some getting used to but rode amazing, like nothing out there.
doubt it has magnatraction cuz thats a lib thingmi_canuck: it will... http://southofthenorth.blogspot.com/2009/01/sia-is-go-rossignol-2010-snowboard.html
