Fast & Responsive

I've been lucky enough to spend my last 4 days on the snow on this deck. I was surprised at how fun the board actually is compared to Nitro boards I've ridden in the past.
The base of this board is extremely fast, I've been riding it on spring days where I will go through hardpack, slush, bulletproof and normal snow conditions in one run and it plows through all of it like a champ.
Unlike Nitro boards I've ridden in the past, this board isn't so stiff that you want to kill someone, but has a great longitudinal flex (7.5 out of 10). Not so soft that you can just butter all over the place... but playful enough to be fun playing around the terrain park.
I would suggest taking it to a local shop and have the edges detuned, I took mine down to a 2 degree bevel and have had a lot more fun carving around on trail with it than how the edges came out of the factory.
With a 2 year warranty from Nitro, if you are an all mountain rider that plays in the park/pipe occasionally you'll love this board.
