If you are looking for hardcore DH board, this is it, but everything else, it's not that great..

I wish Landyactz make 9plys again... 11plys are too stiff, heavy...

It's a DH board but it still have a little flex or I'll say a snap.(I weight 165) It is very light for the DH board. you can pump these bad kitties and without tightening the truck, you can still bomb the hill at about 40mph with stability and control.
I personally like it better than my Evo
Very nice board. I hope no one knows about this board so I can enjoy it by myself!
