i know alot of it is hype, but the Pickle seems to be decent from everything i read.
why do you reckon they sell them so soon?
ive ridden my mates banana, only in a dome, but loved it!! so easy to play about!
also, demo'd a Artec poprocker and absolutely loved it!! quality board, but dont really wanna fork out silly money as i might be keeping my Bataleon Jam, not sure yet. |

| My Gnu was good for about 5 weeks outdoor riding, in spite of only modest jibbing. The tip and tail took a beating, mainly because mervin boards don't carry the steel edge all around the nose and tail. In contrast my evo has put up with some harsh treatment and shows no sign of quitting any time soon. It also carves very well, which surprised me. I was expecting to miss magnetraction, which admittedly does work well with detuned edges! |

What GNU did you have? A pickle?  I think my ideal board would be an Evo, but they're quite pricey!! The rocker and camber looks like it works well, and they're quite soft aswell aren't they? |

sorry to say m8, the Pickle will be a v similar price to the Evo...
2011 pickle is about £425
NS Evo is £460 so pretty similar (and can get reduced to about £390 with SCUK membership if you compare SCUK discounts to NS stockists...)
Goto a FBBB event (if there's still any going near you) and try one  |
