Tacky Board Test 08/09 - Forum Eddie Wall 154

Hafjell, Norway, 10/4/2008
Eddie Wall can't find enough words to describe his board with. We have tested it on the slopes.

Impression of the graphic:
The graphic is nice and colourful. Probably easy to sell.

Can remind of:
The Stepchild board in the test, but a bit stiffer and slower.

How stiff is it:
Medium stiff. Our tester prefers a bit softer board.

How is the side-cut:
A bit slow and heavy.

How is the pop:
Fairly good, but not perfect.

How is the response/manoeuvrability:
Easier to ride after you get used to it. It takes a while because it's wide and stiff.

How is the board on park-jumps:
The board is best suited for park and is especially stable on park-jumps.

How is the board on rails:
Good, but perhaps a bit too stiff, giving you less than perfect control over the board and the rail.

How is the board in powder and at freeriding:
It's not a specific powder board. You should stay away if the powder is really deep.

Best suited for:
Park, because of the stability.

Best feature:
Hard to point out one specific thing.

Worst feature:
It's a bit slow.

Technical specifications from the producer:

Eddie Wall's board is perfect for the ones who spend most of the day in the park and also likes to play around with all sorts of natural obstacles they can find.

Eddie's own description of the board:
“My snowboard will make you: ride faster, flip harder, spin quicker, more popular, much smarter, way cuter, extremley talented, make better decisions, nicer, funnier, thinner, happier, and pretty much change your life in every possible good way. Enjoy”.
