"More Than Expected"
Pros: Buttery and smooth, Nice pop, Fast
Cons: Stability at speed, Deep carves, Edge hold
Before buying this board I read every reiew made on it and I was truely expecting a good park board thats should strictly stay in the park, but after riding it I have to disagree with a lot of the reviews iv'e read. This board can tear it up outside of the park too. In the park it's amazing but outside it does pretty good too. Though it's not the best for all mountain/freestyle riding it still works. I took this thing on the halfpipe and could pull 540's. I do kinda agree that it lacks edge hold but the frostbite edges helped improve it. Plus lack of edge hold is expected on most v-rocker boards. Stability at speed would be my only other complaint. Once I started to pick up speed it felt slightly squirley but I was going insanely fast and as I said before, this board can handle even pipe. That leads me to the conclusion that this board deserves 4 stars. It's a great board only lacking a few things.

"If I could, I would"
Pros: light, VERY poppy, versatile

i demoed this board and fell in love. good pop, light weight, and sturdy. i rode a little smaller size than usual yet still felt more stable at high speeds than on the board i have now. i wish i could afford this deck!! haha

"The new dominant"
Pros: pop, stability, flex
Cons: mid spoon weird at first,
Love this board. I loved the dominant, and this board is a perfect replacement. the midspoon was weird at first, but after a few runs i got used to it. if you have trouble getting off the lift this isn't for you, as your back foot will be centered over the midspoon, thus not giving you any edge control off the chair at all.

"Grea Jib Board"
Pros: Spoon Tips and Mid Spoon, Flex and Forgiveness, Graphics
Cons: A little squirrelly at turbo speeds,
I demo'd this board today at Hunter and fell in love with it. I rode it all over the mountain, but would suggest to keep it within the ropes of the park because it tends to get kind of squirrelly at high speeds when trying to engage an edge in a carve thanks to the detune on the edges and the spoons through out the board. A surprise was that there was no chatter even at high speeds. I would actually want to try this board in the powder because the rocker does float very well over bumps and jumps. On boxes and rails this thing kills, because it is really tough to catch an edge. Also this board is a butter machine, Jumps were fun also and landing was stable and I did not wash out at all. I really would love to get this board and recommend it to any hardcore jib fan. Plus the Bob Marley model is sick looking!

"Great in the Park, still good out of it!"
Pros: Spooning at nose/tail and between bindings, ICS makes binding placement easy, Nice and soft
Cons: Chattery at higher speeds, Carving not as responsive because of spooning,
This board is pretty sweet! I picked it up at an end of season sale, so so it was totally worth it. The spooning at the nose/tail and between the bindings is really nice because you don't catch your edges when you press your board flat on the snow. I haven't really noticed a difference with the spooning in the middle because you normally don't lay your board flat on the snow when your perpendicular to the mountain, but even on boxes and rails I didn't notice any difference from my skate banana or blunt. This is a good board for smaller mountains or park ride, mainly jibs, boxes, rails etc. It is also good for medium sized jumps, but landings are definitely not as solid if you don't stomp. Lastly, with any reverse cambered board, not that great at high speeds.

"great pop"
Pros: Good pop, Smooth on the jibs, Looks cool
Cons: Stabilty at speed,
I road this board this weekend. My friend got it at the begining of the season. It has good pop and handles well on the jib's. It also has a cool desgin. The only problem I thougt it has is it has a lack of stablity at speed.

"Fun"
Pros: Flex, pop, scoop
Cons: carving, speed,
I took this board for a spin during Burton's Demo Tour. The mid-scoop really makes a difference for park and jibbing but I do not recommend it for all mountain riding. It's very catch free, easy to spin, and locks on rails. It does not carve well at all. Overall I enjoyed messing around on this board on a bluebird park day.

"Not a fan"
Pros: Jibby Flex, ICS,
Cons: Mid-Scoop,
When riding the Whammy bar one thing really kills this board for me: Mid-Scoop. It makes the board too loose and it rolls on edge to easily when jibbing. As a park/jib board, not too sure why anyone would want to roll on to the edge of a board that easily when jibbing, just doesn't make sense. The flex of the board is great for park/jib riding, soft to press and manipulate all over and very forgiving on not so perfect landings.

"Best Park board 2010"
Pros: Super fun buttery feel, Mid spoon for kinkrails,
Cons: lack of stability at speed, ,
This Board is the park board to own this year! The midscoop really helps you glide through kinks, this soft board makes buttering a breeze, seriously amazing on the jibs, spins like a top too! As far as jumps go, not the biggest fan, as some of the landings can get a little squirrely on RC boards, but handle well none the less. The board does well on the groomers, and non-groomers, but don't plan on riding too much side country with it, as it comes up too soft. Floats great through the chop as well. If you're anywhere between a beginner in park, to advanced, this is the board for you!
