Hello,

Did someone test this board ?

Is it stiff compared to the 2003 168 ultraprime ?

Thanks,

Bernard

it's the same as the burton speed 178, there are numerous reviews of them
IMHO they make a good freecarver but a waste of time for super serious carving

I've got one... 178-200s

they come with 1* edge and 1* base....

They are a tad stiffer than the ultraprime...

I race mine and it's not all that bad.

If you're an aggressive carver I'd go with something stiffer though.

It's compares to the 98-99 Factory Primes (Got a 164-190s) I liked the graphics and I'm a certified Burton Nut......
