I got this board from a friend, LibTech rep Skindog, asked him for a board and he said "how fast do you ride?" I live at the base of Mt. Bachelor "4,300" acres 9,300ft summit. Normally she has gale-force winds and bulletproof ice which force you to ride life-threatening sketchy conditions to get to the mental zones. This board does absolutely everything from bombing backcountry sketch to playful park days. I tried to get a pow board but I just don't want anything else under my feet unless it's 4ft deep. Thank you, Mervin and T.Rice for the sickest board ever made. 6' 185 161.5w
