Sierra Says: The Manual is a pure jib board. Super soft in flex, twin in shape, and durable in construction, this board is more fun off-snow than on-snow. Because of its mellow nature, the Manual can still be enjoyed by the progressing newbie, although it is most popular among experienced jibbers.

Forum Says: A jib stick for urban recons or shooting with a light kit, this buttery ride is the team's top pick for street sessions. The low swing weight makes it faster 270 on or 270 off, while pre-ground edges reduce hangups on wood, metal or concrete and tough construction survives abuse from ledges, rails or tantrums. Big and bright name-drop graphics make sure a Forum allegiance shows up in the money shot.

"hott board" 6/3/2010

Helpful Review? (1) Yes

(0) No

Name: Forum Manual
Skill: Intermediate
Use: Rails
Pros: buttery, great for rails,
Cons: hard to get used to a board with as much flex,

Experience: the 2010 forum manual is ideal for the rider that loves rails and jibs. this board will get you through that kinked rail you always wanted to try, and can make 720s feel almost easy.

"Decent." 4/5/2010

Helpful Review? (1) Yes

(0) No

Name: Forum Manual
Skill: Intermediate
Use: Boxes,Rails
Pros: Sweet flex, Fun, good pop
Cons: heavy, Doesn't have a quality feel (it is cheap), slow

Experience: Over all I really like this board. It has a nice flex, is poppy and great for pressing. It doesnt do very well in chop or riding at high speeds, but after all it is a park board. It feels great on rails and boxes but feels a little unstable off of larger jumps. Overall a great jib and smaller jump board.

Pros: soft, cheap, did i say soft?
Cons: heavy, wish it was rockered,

Experience: this board has been great for the price you can buy it at. it's a crazy noodle that is perfect for flat ground stuff- just don't expect to take off any huge jumps, this board is too soft.

"Hit up the streets" 6/10/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: Forum Manual
Skill: Intermediate
Use: Boxes,Rails
Pros: flex, durable,
Cons: weight, graphics, not versatile

Experience: I got this board for the streets. It works great when you want to hit rails and boxes, too much flex for jumps. The board itself looks like a first timer board (cheaper), which it could be used as because of the flex. The base can take some serious beatings (concrete is not forgiving), and is easy to repair. It is great for pressing. It is heavier then my park boards, but the sidewalls on them are a slimmer and they are built with higher end materials. I don't like the top sheet graphics so much but they make stickers for a reason. Has a built stomp pad, which is a good a idea but since it is the top sheet it is slick when wet and the corners are rounded so there is no bite. I like the rome artifact better because of the bronze edges, and the graphics. The stepchild jibstick is also a great board. Both the artifact and jibstick cost more and do look better, but they essentially the same board as the manual. The manual is a great board but not super versatile (its meant to hit rails and boxes). If you are in the market for an urban slayer you'll love the manual. With union force bindings you have a setup that will be able to take major abuse.

"FORUM" 4/14/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: Forum Manual
Skill: Advanced
Use: Boxes,Rails
Pros: nice soft jib flex, protective tips,
Cons: not stable at high speeds, not great for larger size jumps,

Experience: i got a chance to ride this board for and entire day at the beginning of the season. My friend wanted to try my stairmaster and i wanted to try this so we switched for the day. I loved the soft flex of this board. It was great for jibbing and butter. Great park board for anyone who wants to stick with camber. I didnt care for it off jumps, but if it had been a tad longer it would have been fine. Overall i like the capita stairmaster better but they are very comparable boards and ride simiarly. very nice ride.

"Sweet Board !" 3/19/2010

Helpful Review? (0) Yes

(0) No

Name: Forum Manual
Skill: Beginner
Use: Boxes,Jumps,Rails
Pros: stable, soft, sweet design
Cons: a little limp,

Experience: This board is an excellent choice for beginner park riders. Its very stable and flexy, making it easy to learn those gnarly tricks. Some of the previous years had a problem with durability once the rider progressed to advanced riding levels, however, its still a great board regardless of ability.
