The Rossignol Mini taunts me. - Snowboarding Forum

Anyone have experiences with it? It looks ridiculously fun, but I don't think I can do my butters on it...lacking a nose/tail seems like itll hurt if I try to butter.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Here at Greek I use one sometimes. It's fun, but tough. I can only deal with it in short bursts every week or two.

How so? Is it just harder to use everywhere else?

For one, I like a wide stance, and it can't get wide enough for me. It's also just so short; getting any real sort of speed is scary, because there's almost no edge to turn on. It's fun to mess around with, but not something I'd want to purchase for myself

Hm. I figured for basically the reasons you just listed, I could keep my regular board in my car - use this for maybe half the day, then switch up or something.

hm...
