I bought this board in a wide 157 model and it has been an amazing board. I've been snowboarding for six years and i tend to tear up the mountain. It's a really great board to buy. I can do anything i want with this board. Deffinately high quality. People say that because it's a shop brand board it automatically can't compare to other boards. That is a lie. This board is just as good as any other board out there. Besides, everyone who know about snowboarding knows that burton is the hollister of snowboards. Highly priced boards that do just about the same thing as comparable, more cost effective boards.
