can you take the heat with the overlord:
so i've taken the 'lord out twice. The first time was my first alpine experience in hardboots (that I hadn't molded-that hurt:smashfrea ). but the second time (after molding), everything clicked and I was doing norm and normII carving and really beginning to trust my downhill edge. so considering this, my review of the board is a bit limited.
right now, i'm riding Raichle 423, snowpro race plates, and the 'lord. My softboot setup that i've been riding for the past 6 years is salomon boots, drake bindings, and a neversummer premiere t5. in comparison with the T5, the lord is stiffer and lighter. board+ plates ~10bs. nose is curved up but tail is not. I feel it holds edge a lot better than the t5, but that's expected as the 'lord has more effective edge. can't comment on construction yet b/c i haven't had it for long. it feels like its decently made. supposedly its sidewall construction. the topsheet is a bit intense. i've already turned many heads at the lift line. i'm taking suggestions to modify the topsheet...
can someone explain why everyone likes the shape of this board? aren't most all-mountain boards with a rounded tail?
overall, i'm happy with it and looking forward to my next time out. i haven't had as much fun on a snowboard as I did carving on the 'lord in quite some time. i'm hoping to be able to carve some tigher turns next time out. i'm also hoping to use this primarily as a learning board before upgrading.
if anyone has specific questions about the board, let me know and i'll try my best to answer. can also post pics of it if you'd like.
