phénix

Post by nils » Tuesday 27 January 2009, 12:48

tested the phénix, and its a great board really! compare to a pogo its way more "juicy" ride with energy poping out of turns that is nice in tight situations and more narrow bumpy places...its feels more agile than the 185 magistral, and the tail is stiff and works very good...the carbon is giving pop that is lacking sometimes on the other boards..
Sebastien Perret has put all his 20 years swallowtail experience in that board...he is getting close to kafi's mastermanship now!!

Aha, I dind't know that! I'm just surprised about nils.
Usualy I can choose only between 2 or sometimes 3 Swallows.

It seems nils is some steps ahead. So he can take the first swallow-tail for riding on deep powdersnow on Monday, the second one for the next day, riding on Tuesday ... and the last, sixt one for riding at Saturday. Sunday will be then the day of relaxing / no-powder-boarding, but visiting church and thanksgiving/praying for our contentment and also for new snow - thats just the thing what we do here in central Europe, it's almost a Christian population!
