Strength:
none I could find
Weakness:
very bad durability poor edge hard turning I bought this board in Spring and did ride it 2 days in Garmisch, one week in Sulden, Italy and then 4 days in Soelden, Austria. That day I managed to destroy this borad completely. I hit some stones in backcountry and lost 10cm of the edge, and along the backside edge the whole thing broke appart. I did ride many boards before and I spend at least 3 weeks snowboarding a year, but I had never ridden such a SCHEISSE before. Head does not build this boards, they just put their label on it and as far as I heared, they stop the board label after this season. Thanks for that. If you buy this board I whish you good luck not to hit a stone, because the durability is very poor. The flex is too strong for me (72 kg) and turning is harder than with other boards. The edge is not good as well. Mail me if you want pictures of how the board looks like after 13 days hard usage (Johannes.Christen@web.de).

Strength:
fast, large for the pow, good flex, professional proformance at reasonable price
Weakness:
looks i started the season with a lamar and broke it in half after 5 long learning days of riding. i was in a spot and grabbed the first reasonable priced used board i could find. i knew nothing about the mission. so this board more than made me better. yes it was a long board (170) but at the end of the season no one could beat me down the mountain with style or without (including the 2 planks). so this board exceded everything i thought possible. its a little large to whip through the trees fast, but a great and very forgiving board. it is a long freeride board Similar Products Used: lotts of boards |
