Pros: The Driver X is the most powerful boot in the history of snowboarding, nay, the universe.

Cons: Park rats will not be able to harness the power of the Driver X.

Other Thoughts: The Driver X is much like the X-Caliber. Many warriors have attempted to rip this blade out of the craggy depths in which it has stood motionless for aeons. If you feel you are up to the challenge it may be time to clench the Driver X, take a glance upward, and pull. Do not pull hard for the Driver X already knows if it will let you ride it. The Driver X is like a woman. It knew long before you said hello wether or not you had a chance. If it feels you are worthy, it may let you ride it and bless you with seasons of aggressive turns and big mountain annihilation. X-Caliber is a myth, the Driver X is not. It exists and you may buy it.

Pros: An intuitive and fun ride with a shallow learning curve allowing beginners and intermediates to progress.

Cons: The CHB has a relatively small stance width range

Other Thoughts: The Gnu CHB magnatraction turns ice into powder. Seriously. I rode this snowboard in firm conditions and soon realized that my friends were jealous. None of them had magnatraction and were therefore riding ice while i was riding powder. I like being envied.
