Love it

I am an intermediate - advanced rider. I bought it on Brociety and have loved it since.

My primary board of choice is the vapor, but its lack of durability has led me to try this board out.

Lots of pop, stable at moderate speeds, can navigate chunk, pow and groomers with relative ease. Pulled off CRAZY wheelies in powder. All the groomers are great for ollies and nollies. All over the hill and can stomp any rollers I see fit. Buttering, not so much. The new models of this board are a rocker base and much better suited for that (as the mean green is a camber).

Love the EST system as you can switch the bindings quickly to powder or back to park. Got a 157, am 180 lbs and I could have gone a little shorter but the price was right.

In short, paired the board up with some basic Burton custom bindings, DC Allegiance boots (similar to the new judge) and it works just great.
