Salomon Says:
Ride it the way you want to, the Special always has you covered. The unique 3D core profiling, signature of the ERA concept, lets you be playful at lower speeds thanks to a softer torsion and the snappy flex holds it down when you open it up. The drive precision of the thinwalls and the speed of the 4000 EG base will give you the control and speed you need for whatever you go for, be it the Legendary Banked Slalom course or the big line in the local park. The Special is proof that a performance board can raise your confidence every time you ride. Riders Say: The Special is one of my favorite boards. The ERA tech allows it to ride torsionally soft so you don't have to fight your board at slower speeds like many high-performance sticks. But it also stiffens up the board as you ramp up your speed and exert more force on the raised ERA spine of the board. The result is a super versatile, poppy board that'll satisfy both aggressive riders and folks who just like to cruise around. - Kimchi Terrain Uses

Salomon Special Snowboard Reviews (1 total)2/17/2008 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pros: Poppy, fast, damp, carves like a dream. ERA allows for decent maneuverability at slower speeds as well as stability and dampness at higher speeds. Twin-nish enough to ride decent switch. Great off kickers.
Cons: A bit twitchy when flat boarding. Not a board you can really take your eye off of at higher speeds, since it is rather aggressive. Definitely not the best on jibs, definitely.
Other Thoughts: Just a disclaimer, the above comments are based on the 07.
Also, wait profiles are super weird, going from crazy narrow on the 156 and below to about normal on the 159 and almost midwide on the 162. Definitely watch out for that.
