OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 5
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It’s like a little jumping bean in the pow. So quick and stable.
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Riding quality on hardpack. Characteristics changed instantly from playful and quick to sluggish and stiff.
OVERALL COMMENTS: This thing is fun to bounce in the trees and pop off pillows and powder puffs. I was expecting more stability and glide on a 157 but was happy to compromise it for how agile it rode.
