I bought this board two seasons ago as an upgrade from the rental gear i was previously used to. As a beginner i found this board met all my needs, Atomic's edges helping me feel secure in my turns and confident to try everything a little faster than before. As i progressed i found the board to be light and flexible enough to try a few tricks, namely hurling-self-into-powder air as it's commonly known. It's been classified as a freestyle board pretty much every where i've seen it but i found that it rides well all over the mountain, piste, park, powder and most importantly the lift queue.

I've managed to damage the tail edge a little, not sure if it was due to my mistreatment or just low durablility but the damage is superfical and doesnt effect the performance at all.
