shaun white 58: surprise surprise. the boy wonder actually made a longer length board with a decent waist width (c'mon 242 on a 56???)... anyway i have never really been impressed with XGames / Mtn Dew boy's board. i thought the spec and shape were weird and that it rode too stiff and in other words, wack. so i took this one out with a bit of trepidation, but figured what the hey. definitely a stiff board. the quick flatland at the top of the gondola let me know that this would not be a dom. i rode this mach 2 and just loaded up the tail and let it fly. it really reminded me of a custom crossed with a raven (which makes sense). took it through the mini pipe where it shined. actually on the ice, it cut like a knife. definitely a good east coast ice board.

all i can say is that most of the boards look so good in person. some boards that people seemed to really rave about (that i didn't get to try) were: twin, custom (seriously), vapor, elite (didn't see it there)

i dont know what i like more about this video laura kissing the board or mike saying numours mountain dew commercial

this dog pile made me giggle lol

hmmm gonna have to agree w/ hoon...

not JUST because I dont like shaun white...but for other reasons too

I think the graphics for the board this year are just not "up to par"

the board is a lot of money and doesn't put out the performance as some of the other burton boards do for the same cost.

not much else to say

just not feelin it this year shaun
maybe next time

Originally posted by hoon more i think about it more i like this board.

...except you can't ride it if you have over a size 9 foot

I know this is an old thread but someday someone will read it,
Just sayin Ive been riding this board for years now and it is super steezy, durable to
Great pop, just a great board just wish it was a twin board vs directional cuz i ride a lot of park
