Not quite soft enough for noodle lovers like Eddie Wall, other testers were stoked on the flex and camber profile and thought the torsional stiffness was perfect for loading up those big hips off the side of tabletops. This extra backbone in the tip and tail did make it a bit more challenging to press, but the board had tons of snap for sending spins off the lip of all the jumps while giving our troops boatloads of confidence crushing turns en route to the park. Some called it the “well-rounded, freestyle-influenced daily driver” with enough strengths to take your game outside the park.
From the testers: “This thing is bleepin’ boopin’ radical. Insane board. Definitely a swipe right kind of scenario…For any intermediate-to-expert park rider who considers himself an AIRTIME enthusiast.”

Flex: Medium
Camber: Hybrid (low-profile regular camber between inserts, reverse to tips)
(Flex is not standardized and differs by brand. The rating here is the best estimate of the board’s flex.)
(Sidecut Radius: The measure of how deep or shallow the arc of a board’s edge is from the tips to the middle, in meters. A smaller radius, around six to seven meters means a board will generally turn tighter. As the radius number increases, a board can be expected to make wider turns. Multiple numbers on the same length board means the radius is blended.)
