Carves like no other, quick and precise, or long and fast. In essence, I wont give up this board. I'm gonna be sure to put about 10 pounds of p-tex and epoxy resin keepin this beast goin. It has some mild trouble in the pipe, but if you're on a 168, you're not lookin to be a pipe demon. I would never sacrifice carving for tricks - anyday.
Freestyle boards are for wusses.
If you cant find a '99 or '00 supermodel, the new burton ride is called a 'cascade'. It's basically the same geometry and flex as a super, but has different graphics. Anyways, I'm gonna keep the super, but I am buying a '01 Burton frontier 175. When I acquire it, I will send in a report on it too. Keep the faith.
