I swung by the shop yesterday, couldn’t say no to these.

A new US Horizon 155 and a used Dart56. The Horizon has as much rocker in the tail as it does in the nose which is weird as they describe it as 'full camber with early rise nose'. It's a twin cam-rock profile which might actually be better for freestyle I guess but I'm concerned it will annoy me. I've ridden a Dart in this size before so I know exactly what I'm getting into with that thing.

My new park deck has arrived. Initial feeling is good. It's significantly softer than Banker, but not a noodle, which was what I wanted, still good amount of camber and the rocker sections at the tips are short. And for a Rome board, in my eyes, it looks quite good.

the current description for the Horizon off of US says it's rocker tip & tail, which I'm pretty sure it's always had

"Subtle tip and tail rise for adaptability + pronounced camber, for optimal precision and edge hold"

it feels just right to me, playful for park laps, easy turn initiation, and a touch of float in fresh snow.

Still primarily on Korua, but excited to play around a bit with Mervin this season. The JL in particular has my stoke high.

yeah the Jamie looks rad this year. I loved the throwback graphic on last season's a little better, but that shape looks nice.

the new one is almost tempting me to trade for the new one, with that slightly narrower waist, b/o'd until January right now, though :(

Agreed. It took all of my will power to not buy last years deck just because of that graphic. I want to demo one but the only shop that carries lib only demos his short wide.
