Pros: Strong edgehold, Great value, Stiff, Well known brand

Other Thoughts: Just won this custom X 159 wide in the giveaway last week, and took it out for a spin yesterday for the first time. It took me a little bit to get used to how fast I would pick up speed. I've never gone so fast in my life. Also I was getting real big air (for me) in the park, with a nice soft landing every time. The way this board carved up the heavy, slushy lumps and bumps was very impressive, and I felt like I could just bomb down the hill right through all the bumps with no problem. The graphic is so cool, the board is like a work of art. Very simple but with great attention to detail. One thing you don't notice unless you see it in person is on the top, in the black part of the board there are little swirly lines etched in that make for a cool effect, especially when the sun is reflecting off the board. The water design on the bottom is awesome. I wouldn't trade this board for anything. It probably isn't too good for beginners since it goes so fast and picks up speed so quickly, you might get out of control if you aren't in command. But if you are an experienced boarder looking to dominate the mountain and speed past all your friends, look no further than the custom X. Also it was free for me so it was obviously an amazing value. Thank you Sierra!!!!!

Pros: Strong edgehold, Great value

Other Thoughts: This board held and edge really well, and also made me feel great going faster than I ever have before. No chatter, a little bit of a stiffer feel than I expected but maybe that's because I had been on a 151 previously. All around sweet board
