hi harri here emily's wreckless nutter friend
It was a nice board. It flexed nicely long ways but the twistyness was a bit stiff for me (i am about 5'7", slight build, foot size UK8 btw). It rode well in most conditions, carved nicely too. I found it too thin for my big foot feet (they stuck over about 1.5cm front and back) which was not good at all. Off piste it was a beast! You will enjoy those powder days on a troop. Not much park open when i had it so not sure about rails, but in the pipe it was very nice. No kickers so cant answer that one either. Stability in landings (from small cliff drops etc) was very good on the landings and at high speed it held its own nicely. I trusted it which is more than i can say from some boards i have ridden!
What sort of level would you call yourself? What do u intend to do with it?
Harri |

Hi Harri
thanks for the feedback, i would say i am intermediate, slowly getting used to rails, pipes etc but the board i have got is kind of stopping me progress any further so I want something that i can use anywhere on any terrain so it sounds ideal and it is a bargain!!! I have got six 4 feet so i don't think i will have a problem with my feet hanging over the front or back!
Where do you and Emily ride??? |

Hi ladies!!
Been and picked my Troop up today!!! i luv it!!! Got it for £170 in the end ..... bargain!!! As it was a demo there is a few marks on the top sheet where the bindings were but the base is mint!!!! I had to buy it without riding it as someone else wanted it so i just bit the bullet and spanked my cash!!! Just want to ride it now!!!
I ride in MK but go away when have the cash, looking to go away in March....... hopefully!!! My parents have just got back from Megeve in France and said it was amazing 7km runs and not a soul there but they are twin plankers (skiiers) so they loved it as there was no boarders!!
Have a fab time in Austria......very jealous!!!! |

I went to MK last night but the condidtions at MK are really bad the top of the left slop you could ice skate on it better than board!! I was well disappointed!! never mind at least i got to check out my new board!
I would wait a few weeks if you planning on coming up from Brighton, i spoke to the manager and he reckons it should be back to normal within the next few weeks. Up to you just a thought |
