I am looking for a board that will float well but will also bite well on hardpack and I&#39;m between this and the K2 turbo dream, which is all-terrain rocker. I&#39;ve never ridden a rocker, and my current board is an ultra-fast cambered Ride No. 4, so it would be a big change and I don&#39;t know how I&#39;ll like the rocker, so I&#39;m inclined to go for the Slayblade. Then again, if the turbo dream is much better in the pow but still handles well on hardpack, that might be better. Also, I know the rocker is much better than camber in pow, but would the flatline be better too? HELP!!! question_140818 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:11:49 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Burton-Jeremy-Snowboard/BUR2485M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139978#question_139978 Burton Jeremy Snowboard<br /><br />So ive read that the 159 doesn&#39;t have any camber, but its not rockered. I rode the Hero last year a lot, used it for jib days and instructing...but always had the trusty supermodel x for the deep days. The supermodel x is done, now on the wall. So im looking to find a one quiver board. Now to my question....is this thing going to translate to a similar ride to the v-rocker? The Hero is a noodle, looking for something that is a bit stiffer but will still butter like a fool. Anyone have any insight?

Thanks for any input, I live in Southwestern Montana. Also I am curious if anyone knows the details of the rocker on this snowboard, is it zero camber between the bindings with rocker in the tip and tail or is camber between the bindings with rockered tip and tail, its not very clear, even on Salomons website they say it has Rockequalizer : stating that it has low or flat camber with ridiculously long nose kicks, but what exactly does that mean, I think it means zero camber (aka: no camber) and rockered tips and tail, but if anyone knows for sure I would greatly appreciate the info question_139816 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:59:36 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Forum-Youngblood-Chillydog-Snowboard/FRM0442M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139469#question_139469 Forum Youngblood Chillydog Snowboard<br /><br />ok so i wanted to get a rockered board this year.
