Description
TESTER: Joni Madere
BOARD: Franco Mary Mary 152
TEST YEAR: 2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS
OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 6
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: responsiveness in all conditions ridden
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: little too heavy for my taste (and my size)
OVERALL COMMENTS: well-rounded in that it handled really well in all conditions. responsive, held it’s edge even in packed powder/heavier snow groomer runs, never wheeled up like a potato chip, no brainer in pow, so easy to turn for being heavier (to me), i’ve never ridden that far in the back seat so was a totally new ride to me btw! surfy surfy 😉
BOARD STYLE:
CONDITIONS TESTED IN: HARDPACK ICE POWDER SLUSH
RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7: 7
SHAPE COMMENT: FUN TO LOOK AT
ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS: positive comments from local skier/climber/photographer we all know 😉 again, the shape seemed to override the weight in that the board still did it’s thang
RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7: 5
FLEX COMMENT: JUST RIGHT
ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT: perhaps a little stiff compared to what i’m used to, but leaned toward stiff, but i wouldn’t say too stiff for what this board is supposed to do
RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7: 7
STABILITY COMMENT: ROCK SOLID- AS GOOD AS IT GETS
ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: for a lighter person it was very stable in heavier snow; perhaps weight/stability combo?
RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7: 5
COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: OK
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: ok and pretty darn fun. see previous comments to understand why i didn’t find it super playful + my board this season is super poppy yet also a potato chip argh!
RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7: 7
COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EFFORTLESSLY FLOATY
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW:
RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7: 5
GRAPHICS COMMENT: I’M FEELING IT
ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: love the neutrals
