Well first ride for me! this is the first time I have ever riden anything the size of a picnic table! but I refused to set my bindings anything other than the usual 70/65. I have enclosed several pics so you could see that it actualy carves extremly well.. Its right up there with the 170,, I actually may like it even more.. I push the snot out of it.. the conditions where packed groomed fine granular for about 2 or 3 inches then the ice base below that! then to mashpotatoes later in the day! soft nose even softer tail but I could not tell.. I rode it just like I would anything else, I pushed and powered the nose like my carving boards and it took it all,, no fold or nothing! I ride with a 53cm stance and I set the bindings back on it to give me more nose than tail, almost as far back as I could with out losing my stance!
Only thing I would change would be the width could use to loose 2cm or more..its wide!!!!!! but thats me ,, anything over 19.5 is wide.. sorry I'll do the actual measurement if someone needs it..maybe someone already knows?
