I've basically no knowledge of this board =P just the the tip and tail and more curved than other boards or something...
The more popular options seem to be the Skate Banana which is such a sick board, TRice and if you wanna jib then the Box Scratcher... I'd recommend the Skate Banana cus it's soft enough to jib on, TRice can be a bit stiff for that, but can take kickers better than the Box Scratcher...

T 'n' T, thanks for the support guys!! Alex, if you have any questions i will be super stoked to answer them. I have not personally rode this board as it is a little small for me (Being 16 stone and the board only in a 153 and 157). It was ridden quite alot at the board test in Austria and recieved very good reviews. With Banana tech (BTX) the idea of the extra Kink in the nose and tail is not so important for jibbing (not like it used to be when the Kink came into fashion......thanks to Matt Cummins), Banana is the best kind of fruit for jibbing.

The MC Kink is slighlty softer than the Skate Banana so you can really throw it around. For sure either one of these boards would put a massive grin on your face. The black MC kink is also keeping the same graphic for 3 seasons so it will be current for 3 years as well (no need to be graphic greedy for new boards......lol).

The MC kink will be coming in 2 colours. One will be black top sheet with small lib-tech logos (you can only make these out close up), this is the one to be kept for 3 seasons. The other is a japenese style snake wrapping around the boards (its pretty out there). This graphic will be changed every season.

Will try and get the graphic up here [/img]
