Good luck with the 1080. Each rider has their strengths and weaknesses. For example, Dion Blaster is extremely fast, but is also prone to crashing. Ricky Winterborn, on the other hand, has wonderful technique, but isn't all that quick. Like the riders, each board offers its own benefits and downfalls.
Some boards offer greater speed with terrible flex, whereas others deliver just the opposite.
The trick is combining the right rider with the right board for the perfect racing combination. How it plays 1080 Degrees Snowboarding plays a lot like Wave Race 64, believe it or not. Both games offer players realistic racing environments and intuitive control schemes. Whereas 1080 delivers more tricks, Waverace has more courses. Boarders control fast and easy, always reflecting the snow and mountains they are racing.
