Rossignol Jones Snowboard - 2007 BCS

This line is the first that I designed from scratch with no limitations or mold restrictions. I start my year on the 158 and as my legs get stronger and I ride bigger lines I move up in size.
I have really fallen in love with the 166. It is hands down the best board I have ever designed or ridden. This is the board any serious rider should have in their quiver. I made it for bombing AK peaks but it is actually the easiest board in the line to ride and works for all levels of riders.

Good stuff. I ride the previous year's model, this one sounds stiffer which is an improvement, needed a little snap.

Floats very well for conventional shape. Farther set-back then you might think. Definitely built for steep and deep but performs admirably on anything else... although your not gonna be able to follow you buddy through the moguls without putting in some work... But on the flip side this thing is a flat out mad man for speed in all conditions. its hard not to straightline on-piste cause its super smooth so watch out for kids when you ride to the bottom @ the end of the day

I just received my Rossi J-Jones 158 deck and was riding it the very next day. I was very surprised/disappointed of how soft/loose the overall feel was. The flex-pattern reminded me a lot of the Burton Custom, which is nice, but not necessarily what I look for in a pure freeride deck! The edge hold is OK, but decreases with higher speed on groomed slopes. The J-Jones shows it real face in POW (of course), with the "high" nose and softer tail it makes up for a lot of stuff it's missing on the piste:)
