BOARD: World Boards Mountain Slayer 160
TEST YEAR: 2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS
OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 7
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: No gimmicks here. Just a standard, tried and true snowboard design that does absolutely everything (and does it well).
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: The fact that I don’t own one.
OVERALL COMMENTS: Jay crushed it with this board. I’m so stoked to see the Never Summer construction with good old tried and true camber. This board is a true go anywhere, do anything rig. I could easily see myself riding it on rails and in the park too.
BOARD STYLE: FREERIDE BOARD
CONDITIONS TESTED IN: HARDPACK ICE POWDER
RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7: 5
SHAPE COMMENT: NOT JUST GOOD BUT GOOD ENOUGH
ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS: Nothing fancy. Just a traditional board shape, and that’s totally cool with me.
RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7: 6
FLEX COMMENT: JUST RIGHT
ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT: Stiff but still predicatable and playful enough to trick off of hits.
RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7: 7
STABILITY COMMENT: ROCK SOLID- AS GOOD AS IT GETS
ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: So frickin stable. Maybe the mos stable board I rode all week. This thing is a beast.
RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7: 6
COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: PRETTY DARN FUN
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: Not the most playful deck, but packed plenty of pop. Just an aggressive rig that still has a freestyle spirit.
RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7: 6
COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EASY TO STAY UP
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: Surprised at how well it floated with it not being a “powder” shape. So much so, that I couldn’t get off of it today. It mashed through the think snow with ease.
RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7: 7
GRAPHICS COMMENT: AESTHETIC AND INSPIRING
ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: Love the Bridger graphics. What Jay is doing with these decks is so sick. This is going to be a collector’s item for any local for sure.
