Hey so i ride a 156 Rome Artifact currently and it’s my second board after a K2. I love it but it’s been a few seasons and getting time for a new board. Also i’ve been progressing to bigger jumps and the Artifact is kinda washy on the landings and not too stable at high speeds. I live out in California near Tahoe and ride mostly at Northstar resort about 50% park, 50% mountain and pow. I’m debating between the Stairmaster Extreme 156, Mid Life 155, or Indoor Survival (camber) 156. Also i’m 5’11” and about weight about 145-150lbs. Please help me decideee!

I think I’m leaning toward to ultrafear because I hear it’s poppier and easier to press. With some flux DS45’s

Doug, tough choice but either way you are getting a solid board. Personally I’d have a hard time choosing between them myself.

Hey, I am stuck between getting the indoor survival fk and the ultrafear fk. I ride park all day. Probably 60% jumps, 40% rails. What would you suggest for me?

Alright thanks. I don’t find the softness because I’ll be spending most my time jibbing in the park or around town. Thanks!

Wildoolittle, the horroscope is a really easy board to learn on and ride but it’s also a very very soft board. If you were looking for a soft park board that will have no problem buttering, you found it. Reverse camber is just a adjustment, you’ll see when you get on it.

I bought the 149 horrorscope along with the super limited edition union ultrafear bindings. This will be my first reverse camber board and I’m worry that the transition will be be very difficult and limit my ability. So is the horrorscope a good first reverse camber? And does a reverse camber feel totally different ?

Pibod, the ultrafear is still pressable and good in the park. I think you’ll find the ultrafear the better choice for jumping than the horrorscope.

Hi Shay, love your reviews.

I’m trying to decide between the Horrorscope and the Ultrafear. I’m 5′ 6″ and 135lbs, I’m going to go for a 147 and was wandering if the Ultrafear would be too stiff to press for my weight making it not so good for me in the park, but I’m thinking the Horrorscope might be too soft and unstable (due to the smaller flat between the bindings) on jumps.

Can you give me any advice?
