OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  6

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It charges around off the trails. It rides great in variable conditions.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It is hard to read the name on the board. The yellow barely shows up. The Hedonist is such a clever name I would make it flashy and more appealing.

OVERALL COMMENTS: I really enjoyed riding this board in all the test conditions. The Hedonist is a great shape for my all mountain style of riding. I am down with the twin shape and appreciate the versatility this board provides.
