The Centric is hands down one of the most fun freestyle boards that I have ridden. It's got a "Nomex Honeycomb" tip and tail to make a very low swing weight, thus making spins super easy. The combo of a full sidewall and a "klothoid" side cut gives this board effortless high speed turning capabilities. If it's pop without a super stiff snowboard that you're looking for, this is it: It has carbon fiber strips in specialized areas to increase the pop without killing that wood core feel.
