Arobic for every thing except for big backcountry jumps and lines.WHAT DOES TRIPLE BASE TECH DO FOR YOU?
Floats like a boat in deep powder easy to land on real stable.WHAT IS ACCORDING TO YOU THE DIFFERENCE OF TBT COMPARED TO OTHER BOARDS?
When your riding really slushy spring conditions you just plow through it easier than with a flat board. When you ride the center of the triple base you really pick up speed.IF I AM NOT SNOWBOARDING I AM....
