Strength:

Best board I have ridden in the pow. Very stable and quiet at high speeeds.

Weakness:

Heavy and too stiff to use in park.

An impeccable board in the pow. I just got done skiing in three feet of sweet dry Idhoho powder. This board will float on anything bust the crude and carve on the ice.

Strength:

stiffness that lasts more than a month (unlike all the crappy burtons I've owned) bombproof base, core, and edges

Weakness:

I little heavy for spinning and flipping

Best board I've owned. I rode burton customs for the last three seasons only because they kept breaking and I kept getting them warrentied I had three of them before I finally got fed up and wanted to get a bombproof board. This is it. I've put some nasty core shots in it but it barley touched the core. The same shots would torn right in to my customs. Ive hit some rocks were I was sure it was going to be bad and it didn't even make it to the core. I also had a bad core shot right on the edge but it didn't even dent the edge. Riding at big sky is hard on boards because its so rocky and the four years I've had a pass there I've broken a board each year until I got this board. Aside from durability it rides sick and is stable at high speeds. Great big mountain/ freeride board.

OK, all NS boards on this site have perfect reviews; there's a reason for that. My T5 Premier 161 is super stable at high speeds and bad snow alike. Turning is razor sharp, and the board kills chatter. Their warranty and customer service is second to none. What more do you need? Go buy one.

Strength:

Durability. Espesially good for carving, steeps, and pow.

Weakness:

A bit expensive at retail. But its worth it

This Board is amazing. It takes everything I dish out and then some. Bumps, powder, steeps, grommers, park, pipe, all of it. Perfect waist lengh for people with moderatly big feet (10-12)Best thing Ive ever done for my riding. the Durability is great. I thought i messed it up on my fist day but there wasn't a scratch.

Some sh*thead stole my Timeless at Keystone early season. I was pretty bummed until I got the NS. Best board I''ve owned. I didn''t realize how much the Timeless rode me down the hill unitl getting this board. The NS is effortless. Just think about where you wanna go and what you want to do and the board does it. There''s nothing like it in the pow, the tappered tail allows the board to float through the deepest snow without compromising switch riding. I''ve hit some nasty stuff in the trees the past couple of weeks and I thought the base was going to get rocked but it hasn''t been dinged yet. The Timeless was a little faster but the NS is a much better all around performer. Haven''t taken it in the park yet, but trees, drops, and pow have been incredible. I''m 6'' 180 lbs. and got the 163. Wish I had a 165 but they were all gone. I don''t see myself riding anything but NS for the rest of my life.

This board just flat out rips! It''s the caddy of freeriding. Pretty stiff which is cool cause it plows through everything. I''ve had it for eight days so far, ranging from man-made groomers, real-snow groomers, to pow, and it''s been nothing but great.

Customer Service

Never used, but I''ve heard nothing but good things from them.
