This is an amazing board. Nice amount of flex that lands you nice and soft on rails, but still gives you a good amount of pop. It’s pretty lightweight, so jumping and spinning are that much easier. Easy to control and turn (not a point and shoot park board), and it handles really well at higher speeds.
The only downside is I haven’t noticed a big difference in the Magne-Traction. Being from the Ice Coast, I got psyched when I read that it turns ice into powder. Of course it doesn’t, and I really haven’t noticed any added control with MTX.
