Comments about Ride Decade Snowboard 2007:

The Decade Wide 162 was my second board this season after my first board had some construction issues.

This was my first Ride Snowboard ever and I've been impressed by the ride all season. The Decade is wide enough for my boots (size 12) and I haven't experienced any toe drag, but part of that is due to the Union Force bindings I have.

The great part about this board is that you can take it anywhere. It handles really well in the park and has plenty of pop for ollies, nollies, etc...what I like most is that it doesn't have any excess material. It's not bulky or that heavy. It provides good stability for my riding style.

Above I put down unstable, but the only time I really experienced this was when I was cruising over some hardpack terrain (through the park). I got a little chatter and it was a bit shakey under my feet, but it could have been my inexperience riding this board and that being my first time going that fast on that terrain.

So, I gave this board a 4 out of 5 stars because it's well worth the money. It's reasonably priced and provides excellent function for a rider that wants to rip it in the pow and response in the park. A good buy for sure.

Comments about Ride Decade Snowboard 2007:

This board is worth it I bought it off line in 2005 and I still have it I lived in Vail Colorado last winter and it held up great just on the rails and I guess at the end of the season a coupple of dings that i got but nothing to big that I couldn't take care of. This board has it all if your an all mountain rider. The Decade is good in the park half pipe this board kicks you just shread up the courdry and hit up the nar nar it has great carving ability and the speed that you can get from it is awsome. if your looking for a board I would not pass this up because even though it's not a burton it can still stand with the other big name boards on the mountain. Check it out do some research and hit the mountain dont buy just to buy something make sure it's right for your needs
