I really enjoyed the Custom, not too great of a fan of the custom v (just preference though)

The lib tech trs is also pretty sick, alot of fun to ride with enough power to rocketboost yourself off of some pretty big kickers

the k2 believer is also alot of fun, that flatline tech is pretty cool.

I have all of these boards available at my website at some pretty decent discounts. You should take a look if you are in the market. Snowboards and skis on sale! 25%-30% off

btw leo at the 2011 demo did you get a chance to ride one of the flying v models? pretty dope I might add

I demo-ed the Easy Livin a couple of weeks ago. I have a hard time calling that one an all-mountain board. Maybe I should have given it more time since it was my first time on a rockered board. That board is really fun to mess around with, but I felt a lot more stable with my Darkstar. I saw suggestions for the K2 WWW... isn't that a park board?

For all mountain, the K2 Turbo Dream is their best rocker. The WWW is a park board with their Jib Rocker which is higher than their All-Mountain rockers.

This year was my firs time on rockers as well. Definitely takes some adjustments. The Easy Livin Flying V without a doubt killed the slopes. It isn't a true rocker, there is a camber under your feet with the Flying V. Plus Burton makes one of the most mellow rockers out there. You definitely should ride it more if you have the chance. I took a good 3 runs on that thing. I didn't want to get off of it lol

LT TRice 2010

Agree with TRice C2BTX. 5 days straight in Tahoe was pure joy. I will be writing a full review soonish. Stability/control at high speed, nimble in trees and moguls - carving felt like it was an extension of my body. Also, personal opinion: I think the graphics are some of the classiest in the Lib Tech line-up, and on par with any other brand (I like Forum's crisp simplicity, though I am not a fan of capita/nitro's graffiti style)

Yea, 2011 Lib Techs look much better. The Banana Magic from this year was uuuuggglly.

Arbor snowboards are beautiful made and ride so well. I've haven't heard a single complaint about their boards. I've made the switch to Arbor after decades of riding Burton and Forum.
ARBOR Snowboards on Sale at Suburban Blend
i just picked up a 2010 Arbor Element and love it. Although i am coming from a Burton Clash so anything would have been a big step up.
