Hey guys. Question for the board. I have been searching like crazy trying to find a place that demos the Banana Magic, but no luck. So here is what I am looking for. At the end of the season, I'm going to try and pick up either a Magic or TRS when they drop the prices some.

I am looking for an all mountain board, that is still playful. Pretty big Lib Tech fan (own a Rice), and familiar with their products and tech, and for me, it just works. So I'm really not considering anything outside of Mervin at this time. Want a board that has a lot of play, but is still stable, damp, and capable of charging.

I know I can get a hold of a TRS to demo, but I'm just not going to find a Magic to demo. The reason I'm interested in the board however, is because I have read from a few reputable posters that this was one of the boards that they have had the most fun on.

So for anyone that has ridden both, can you compare and contrast. A third board I was thinking about was the GNU Altered Genetics, however it might be too stiff. Also open to trying an Attack Banana, but was afraid you sacrifice too much stability.
