Well, I tried both version at Beaver Creek SES. -chuckle- Went straight to Fin and ask for Madd, and he said its here. Boy, did I had an eargasm when I heard him saying that. I was a bit late arriving. (what can you do when youre exhausted as a liftie at Vail?) I can't ask for a perfect timing. Lo and behold, Madd Mike was walking with 'em boards -FRESH- in the plastic bags. Tried out the 170... boy was it a killer! I enjoy the fluid-like senstation carving on it!! The 158... its a bit squirrely to my taste, but I enjoy it nevertheless. Just a bit of time to get accustomed to the quite "tiny" board and cawving arse! I'd say its quite impressive for its size... it held on as I went a bit more faster as I normally do on the Rossi 184 and Madd 170!! Both of 'em are on my list-to-buy-asap alongside those UPS boots (Dan Yoja, what's the scoop?). I got the pleasure to meet Mike, Sean (of Donek), Ultracarver, Fin (BIG thumbs up to him and Michelle for hosting the SES... wish the dogs were there), and the ever-elusive Dave Morgan (quite a nice fellah--now I know why its called YYZ Canuck linears!)!!
