Awesome ride for intermediates and experts!
"The conditions I rode this board on were groomers and packed powder. I am 5'6, 170 pounds, size 7 men boot, Binding angles are 15°, -12° with a 21½ inch wide stance, and have been riding for the past 26 years. My everyday snowboard is a stiff 157cm with a profile of camber, rocker, camber direction twin. I love to ride in the steep and deep, play in the trees, find side hits, jump off cliffs, and carve so hard my hands and chest touch the ground. I rode this in a 154 and I would add this to my quiver of boards in a heartbeat. If I only owned 1 board I would get this in a 157. It handles a very similar but shorter version of everyday board which is my favorite board of all time it does everything I need it to and more. I would not put a rider with less than 25 total days of snowboarding in their life on this board unless they don't mind falling more in the first 25 days."

Great park option for intermediate to advanced riders!
"The legitimizer is a fun park board with a good amount of pop. The board is still pretty playful and catch-free, despite having a good amount of camber in it. The 154cm was a touch too narrow for my K2 10.5 boots, so I could have used the next size up, but I still enjoyed the maneuverability on the 154cm. True twin that rides the same switch as it does regular."

I'd recommend this board for people wanting to try camber that's not catchy, intermediates riding resort and to the jibbers and park rats.
"I'm 6' 175lbs with a size 11 boot and was riding this board on a hardpack groomer day with the Bent Metal Anvil's. This board is effortless, you hop on and feel like you can do anything you can come up with. It's stable enough for all mountain riding, but the mellow camber is playful when on the tips, making butters and rails a breeze. Makes the resort feel like a skatepark, doesn't get much better than that."
