					<description><![CDATA[I ride a lot of boards each year for a long period of time. On average I will ride 12-18 new boards all season long really breaking down how I like them on hill, in park etc. I keep notes and really have an agenda everyday I ride (75 days this year). And I have to say that regardless of how the Good Wood test is structured it very, very, closely resembles my findings of owning many of the same boards and riding them all year. So as an experienced snowboarder and tech freak I will tell you in my experience the Good Wood test is a very useful resource to determine how you will spend $500 bucks for a product you can&#039;t return.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The YES review will be coming up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If everyone rides differently, why would they put why they like/dislike a board?  I understand what you are saying, but it&#039;s the good wood...it&#039;s not meant to tell you what board you will like but here&#039;s a list of the most popular boards by this group of riders.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep there are always grammatical errors in my posts.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phil.  Good points.  The good wood is a freestyle test, definitely not based on durability or quality or longevity of boards.  Even in those cases, so many factors come into place with sizing, rider style, riders weight to be able to determine how a board will last.  153 models to go through, to test all of those would be an entirely different test and would take a lot to get it done.  They do test bataleons, omatics, smokin&#039;s, endeavors.  I got to see a lot of boards in the test this year that aren&#039;t big brands.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snowboard Mag is putting out a board test for 09-10 so it&#039;ll be interesting to see how they do theirs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 days of testing, 23 riders, 153 models...that&#039;s a pretty large test and a lot of work.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&#039;ll definitely have more discussion on this...I have a lot more to say without wanting to take over the good wood post on it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Actually this insight is shocking to me. I always thought that Transworld puts the boards throught its paces, but now after I read this the good wood award is worth nothing in my eyes. Of course it&#039;s hard to define pros and cons when there are so many testers, but Transworld doesn&#039;t even name where you can make the best use of the board. In my eyes a few runs are far to less time to judge on a board. Hell, even a day is too short sometimes. How can they give a board a &quot;Goodwood Award&quot; when they even don&#039;t know if the boards qualities last for a long time? What if a great board looses its live after 30 days? Some boards loose their pop more, others less and that isn&#039;t honored. Thanks for that great insight, Shay. Now I will take such an award with a grain of salt. Hell, they don&#039;t even test a board by every manufacturer. From what I&#039;ve read they didn&#039;t test brands like Omatic or Bataleon and these are the brands which I&#039;m most interested in. ... And I always asked myself why the boards by these two manufacturers get so great reviews every time, but no honour by Transworld.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings,&lt;br /&gt;Phil]]></description>
