Ahh nice one I’m sure you’re going to be stoked with it, should be super buttery!

You beat me to the punch though I’ll be pulling the trigger on a board purchase by the end of the week as well.  shaka

I’m 99.9% sure it will be a 2012 rossi jibsaw as it ticks just about every box for things I want.

Yep the charlie slasher is my overseas pow board so I doubt it will ever get much use in Australian conditions.

As an added bonus I sold my DC board really easily the other day so I “need” a board for the upcoming season.

Hah I have nothing against park boards, just the park!  tongue wink

The jibsaw name is deceptive it is actually more of a all-mtn/freestyle board.

Yeah you can pretty much ignore thegoodride review it’s pretty much the opposite of what a lot of the other pro/user reviews have to say.

Quote from one of the writers for Angrysnowboarder

“Actually the Jibsaw runs into the same issue as the old K2 Jibpan. Not jib boards. In fact they’re both stiffer park/all mountain decks. The Jibsaw is better outside the park than doing jibs. Good on jumps though.”

and an evo user review

“this board is gona be your best deal out there…it is a all around great freeriding park and pow board…the board is stiff so it allows for great pop and good edge change. the early rise in the tip and tail also allow it to be amazingly playful when you want it to be on any jib or flat ground butter you can think of…This Thing Rides AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!”

It’s rated 7 flex by rossi which is stiff real world it’s been reported more like a 5. Stiff between the feet more flexy at the tips. It has magnetraction which will be great for the Aussie ice. Sintered base, decent amount of camber, true twin shape.

Will hopefully be a pretty sweet/playful ride.

Anyway back to the stoke on your capita purchase I haven’t made mine yet!
