Second day riding it hit a rock not even hard enough to compress the edge and the side wall popped out. I sent It back to Rossi and a month and a half later got it back repaired. I rode it four days and the same thing happened no core shot or anything just a little scuffed up edge but the sidewall cracked again. So two cracked side walls in less than a week of riding pretty weak for a high end board. If you live some where with rocky don't buy this. If you live somewhere thats not rocky this is a super fun board to ride stiff and rails turns hard through chop, wind buff or pow. This guy reviewing above has no clue. Slough is powder that falls down around you when riding steep fresh pow that can take you off your feet if you don't manage it properly, not some sort of choppy snow you cut through so I would say disregaurd that review.

St. Louis Moonstone in Ontario Canada. The board is light and highly responsive. I could not believe how easy it was to turn this board. It definately felt like an advanced board and I will have to step up my abilities to get the most out of it. I ran it over soft powder and hard packed/semi ice. The board stayed true in both cases. I really enjoyed sending the board straight down while rocking the board from left to right to left. This allowed me to maintain complete control while rocketing down the mountain. I have yet to figure out the cruise control feature but I know it is there. I did not install a stomp pad to see how it did. I found the glossy surface slippary and would suggest that new riders install something so that the don't wipe out everyone on a 6-person ski lift exit. I managed just fine and will not be installing one. I also checked out the bottom of the board at the end of the day and I was pleased to see that there were no gashes or scrapes. I give it a 5 out of 5. Well done Burton. I can't wait to get out again on it. Cheers. I purchased the Bullet with Burton Custom bindings this week and ran it today at Mt.

I'm a mitten kind of gal and I'm looking for an upgrade. The index/thumb freedom could actually help where mittens make you feel kind of restricted if you need to zip, hold, or get better handling on things. Do they make these in womens?

It is super light and you can make the stance fairly wide, both features improve spins. It seems that the flex in the board is inexhaustible. It just keeps bending!!!! All in all i would recommend this board for anyone who rides park or urban terrain. I just bought a ride agenda and I cannot believe how great of a board it is.

I have to say a was very pleased how this board handled . Really easy to ride. and picks up speed very fast. You can really work this board. Board is a little stiff but did really notice it b/c I was really enjoying the RIDE. If you have a chance take it for a ride and make your own decision. You just might end up picking up this board. Also the machete does ride alot better then most boards between $600 to $1000. check It out! Just took this board out on the weekend. I have to say a was very pleased how this board handled .

How do you clean that nose wipe residue after a season though? Bleh. Great review, thanks. was wondering whether the index finger claw was a gimmick or really a help, now I know!
