Andrew, it’s really loose feeling like skateboarding is the best way to describe it. I was still able to make turns and ride, didn’t affect my riding too much other than learning to ride without using the highback to get response.

Chad, awesome on the fastplant in your top 3! It was in my top 5 I’d say…good ride and yeah wish I could have spent more time on it.

Hey CG – I got a chance to ride the fastplant 154 at the demo days and placed it in my top three! It just felt comfortable and fun to ride. Seemed to have lots of pop – definitely on the softer side but still stable when charging. I wanted to ride it all day but had to get it back…

What’s it like riding w/o highbacks? Any harder or easier to turn? How much does it effect your riding, board flex, etc.?

CG, thanks so much! I did check out the Fastplant and ride it at the on-snow, review coming soon and definitely one of the favorite’s from the demos.

Kimchi, BSOD is definitely that charging board it used to be and now continues to be even more.

Looking forward to the BSOD review. I’m liking FK sofar, but I don’t know that they current have a board that suits my flex preference for everyday riding. BSOD definitely looks like it has some potential.

Hey Shay,
Just wanted to start out by saying the site it friggin’ AWESOME! Love the reviews and blogs. But I digress, did you have a chance to check out the K2 Fastplant with the “Bambooyah” (bamboo) core? I saw it in the 2011 K2 catalog on Snowboarding Forum and became intrigued by the idea and the alleged 5 year warranty! Let me know if you got any info!
