OVERALL COMMENTS: I had so much fun on this board. Rode it first tram in 6 inches of fresh with deep oe in trees. I love how easy it is to turn. It felt like I was floating on the tail but could turn so easy. Is really solid on all terrain.

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7: 6
STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD
ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: it was pretty stable. it felt really surfy. and seemed like it wouldn’t be stable because it’s short. but again the shape and stiff flex together made it feel stable on anything
RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7: 6
COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: PRETTY DARN FUN
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: pop was a lot different because of the short tail. it rally didn’t load up top ollie but you could still get air very easily. the size made it really playful especially in powder

GRAPHICS COMMENT: AESTHETIC AND INSPIRING
ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: different than any other graphics. I like how it’s kind of plain but the graphics are built in to the board
