Preston Edge Plus

Advantages: For people with big feet...
Disadvantages: Limited Binding choice.

...I have big feet. There I said it and I am unashamed. When it come to snowboards I need a wide board to stop my toes being too far over the edge of the board. I am certainly not the only snowboarder out there with big feet, so why oh why do so few manufacturers build wide style boards. Anyway, thankfully morrow have, and it is affordable as well. I bought the 157 version and find it to be a great ride. I am probably an intermediate snowboarder, I can just do 360's and I like half pipes. I also like charging through powder and fast downhills, I use this board for all of these. It is great in the half pipe (although to be honest it is probably alittle too long for proper half pipe riding), it is fast for the downhills, it has plenty of flex for landing jumps, but where it really comes into its own is in powder.

Advantages: High build quality and components, Brilliant warranty service
Disadvantages: High Cost

...When the leatherman tool company launched its first product, the PST it revolutionised the pocket knife market as it incorporated not only a good quality blade of reasonable length, but also incorporated a set of full sized pliars, something never done before.

When applying pressure whilst using the pliars the user would find the thin steel digging into their palms - not exactly a pleasing sensation. The Wave was designed to combat this problem, plus a number of others. In recent years many other manufacturers began to incorporate new features such as one handed blade openings, something that all leathermans were at a distinct disadvantage as all blades were enclosed within the handles. Not so on the wave. Two... Read review

Advantages: flexible, mellow edges, good graphics ect
Disadvantages: NONE

...soo the burton dominant .. LOOKS the graphics looks sick (REALLY REALLY GOOD) THE BOARD ITS SELF the board is well suited to all stages of rider (ie experience wise) beginner to expert. the edges are reallly mellow so begginers will not catch edges easily also the more experienced will not catch edges doing rails (which really hurts!!!) the board is also very flexible so if you land wrong doing a trick you have a better chance of staying upright. TYPES OF TERRAIN the board is more suited to park/freestyle riding and also good for powder as it is flexible. you can use it on normal runs but it is not very effective as you slide round corners rather than carve due to the mellow edges! ADVANTAGES i leant on this board and i have turned out ok so thier must be something right on this board. flexible, mellow edges, good graphics ect... Read review
