Kumapix 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I'll give u a summary: the D1 replaces the swallowtail as THE board for pow. You can enjoy all the features of the swallow: the floating sensation, stability at high speeds and especially the sensation of surfing on water. but the D1 has a huge advantage over it's splittail cousin: his playground is hardly limited to the powfield. Not at all. Warning to freeriders who like it hard and pure (?) this board will blow you away. Hardpack, chop nor steeps will stop it. One just needs the time to figure out their stance and blah blah blah to discover that the d1 is as good onpiste as off. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Thanks mate, I had just translated it but you did a better job than Google. Although I was sorry to see that your effort did not tell the story as vividly as Google: Quote: ...this board will put banana to you as of the first curves It put banana to me, thats for sure.

dizzy 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 yeah, montoya, i have a 04' TB Winterstick, went through a lot of hassle to get the board, but i like it. it's stiff but it response really well on powder days. if i were 10-15 kg heavier, this board would be perfect. i'm 63kg, 168 cm. the board is 172. i'd love to try the severe terrain Link to post Share on other sites

dizzy 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 the nose is long but your weight is still centered; it responds well even on non-powder days. i don't get much chatter at all on high speeds. Link to post Share on other sites
