( yes great on rails and small jumps although it was meant for all mountain riding hence the stiffness of it) I am an experienced boarder who mostly points the board straight down and tries to go as fast as possible and the board does exactly what I want it to do, if you broke your body from just riding and not hitting the park, I’m sorry but no board can help you…great board for the value hands down.

The flex is good for me. Good flex depends on how much you weigh and your skill level. If you are 180lbs+ you can do good flex and butters. The only problems i've had with it is the heavyness of it, but you can work through it. I can do 360's of little jumps that arent even jumps, but that all depends on your skill level. all around... i'd say it's a 3-4 (out of 5) rating. The forum recon snowboard isn’t bad.

I ride mostly park and its not really that flexable and its pretty heavy. this board is great for speed. I ride mostly park and its not really that flexable and its pretty heavy.

This is a board for any terrain. I use it for even powder sometimes and it does fine. It does the best on Rails, Half-pipe, and packed snow. It tail/nose presses nicely because of its soft flex and is perfect for beginner or intermediate snowboarders. It has a really cool design and a killer price of under $300. It also comes in wide sizes for big footed riders. It is a really nice board for its price, graphic, and ability. Forum has done a good job on this board, improving it every year. This year, by far, has the coolest graphic. The boots and bindings are also very inexpensive and great for the price. This is a board for a rider who likes all aspects about snowboarding.
