I have one... it's awesome. Great pop, carves really easily and the MTX is super gripy...

It is very poppy and rides like a skate board in someways

I have one of these. It rides great!

It's pretty flexible, not as stiff as the Dark Series or CustomX and very forgiving on rough stuff.
It's still fast though... I can keep up with anyone on this board. I've let other people ride it and everyone's well impressed with how well behaved and generally sorted it is.

Only downside is that it needs waxing ALL THE TIME. I mean like every 3 days or so. This is the same for all Lib-Tech boards from what I've seen.
Be prepared to get it waxed on the first day of riding. The factory wax is thinner than Kate Moss at an Anorexics Anonymous. It lasted about 2 runs before it slowed right down to a crawl.

yeah i agree about the wax, but the base is supposed to be super touch so its a little trade off

Ah, that would explain a few things, yeah I did notice my t-rice drying up after a couple of days riding. Mind you, was riding in resorts with slush at the bottom (Brits). I do carry a liquid wax tube to top it up once in a while.

Does the new TRS still have the TNT base? I have an TRS from 2 years ago with the TNT base and didn't really need to wax it that much.

Great board. I have a BTX, but not this one, tho' I wish I did....mine is a bit more flexy and slower, from the Gnu stable. It really is all mountain! It will do it all well, if mine is anything to go by.
