Grassroots Slasher 140 Snowboard Review 2018-2019- Rated Radical!
Description
TESTER: Chris Pearson
BOARD: Grassroots Slasher 140
OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 10: Radical (10)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Couldn’t believe how natural it felt to carve powder turns with no bindings
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: That I couldn’t spend more time on it
OVERALL COMMENTS: Felt a little deeper and more connected with the snow and board than with the larger surface area of the flying carpet. The tail punched into the snow a bit more so I had a little bit better control over speed and inspired a bit more confidence to turn harder and make some tighter slashes.
RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7: RADICAL
SHAPE COMMENT: AT THING OF BEAUTY
ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS: More maneuverable in thinner snowpack than the flying carpet
RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7: RADICAL
FLEX COMMENT: JUST RIGHT
ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT: Fairly stiff but had much more flex than I expected just by looking at how thick it is
RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS: 6
STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD
ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: Double concave had a nice feel in the powder and I imagine has an impact on how well you can bite into the snow as you roll the board into a carve
RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7:
COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: Only played with pumping and trying to pop ollies and shove its a bit towards the bottom of my runs so I don’t have enough experience to rate how it performed. Would love to spend more time on one of these to work on bindingless ollie technique
RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7: RADICAL
COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EFFORTLESSLY FLOATY
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW:
RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7: RADICAL
GRAPHICS COMMENT: AESTHETIC AND INSPIRING
ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: Love the mountain cutout on the foot pad and all of the die-sub base graphics are awesome
