^^^ LOL!!! (when I started typing this tylerkat was the post above me, I'm not laughing at your post nethngbtstk!!!

Good looking board :thumbsup:
How did she ride? Im very curious..it looks like a beast.. and a match made in heaven with the c60s
Anything matchd with C60s are a match made in heaven
That looks fucking sick!
Thanks guys!!! I want to get some more time on it before I make a proper review. I took it out for 3/4 laps on groomers with ice. It felt significantly different from the T7 but looking at the shapes side by side it's easy to see why.

Once I got into a rhythm it just downright hooked... I've never been able to carve so hard on my toeside than I did yesterday. It felt very foreign at first but once I sort of found the balance point I was able to lean right over and carve like a hardbooter!

The nose starts to ramp up from about the half way point between the binding and the tip, and the camber actually looks like it's less then the T7 (I'd say about 10mm of camber at the centre, while the T7 has more like 15), so I imagine it'll be excellent in the powder.

The nose is also significantly wider than a traditional shape, and I felt that at slower speeds. Not negative or positive, just different.

One thing I did notice was a racer training course setup beside me on some steep hardpack/ice. I ended up matching a skier turn for turn down this training course, at the same speed as him. Of course I wasn't turning nearly as hard as him but it was a VERY confident feeling board at speed on ice.

At the moment this board is better than me, and I'm really looking forward to learning it's traits and really letting it rip! At this point I won't take it off piste for a while, because it feels totally different than the T7, I'm affraid I wouldn't be in control so I've got to get more groomer laps under my belt before taking it in the trees.

I did hit a roller that I usually hit near the bottom of the Gold chair at Nakiska. It felt very comfortable in the air and landing was a breeze. It felt to be at least an equal to the T7 as far as air competence. Can't wait to take it out tomorrow for a full day!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Edit: I should also mention this was my first time on the older 2009 non-EST C60s... They obviously felt very similar to the 2010s, but the ankle strap is solid instead of two straps. They felt very locked in and seemed to be a good match for the board!

Ewwww, ahhhhh.:eusa_clap: I like it.:thumbsup:

I wanna try the fancy pants,:D it looks fast.

Well, fancy pants isn't a very good name for her though, I think her name should be FP for short:giggle:

I actually really like them a lot.

i think they're built pretty damn solid and honestly i never touch the adjustments on them. i set them once at the beginning of last season, tweaked em once more, and then that was it. i didn't touch a ratchet once after that.

a lot of people complain about the toe strap not sitting correctly and it does move a little bit but as soon as you go to move your toe it locks in.

i just really like the ankle release. probably the main reason why i got them over any of the FLOWs. Also because FLOW hadnt come out with the 2 strap version yet.

Hehe :)

Awh, I feel like you have an upgraded version of my setup, board-wise anyways. I have 390 boss' with a K2 Raygun. I saw the current season Machete at Sport Chalet and really liked it. I was going to ask if that stomp pad is a good grip since I have it too but I guess you haven't used it yet.
