I've thought about it before, and that's the size I would pick. I spent a ton of time on the mullair for a reason...
Think I'm going to pick it up if he still has it, though I don't plan to keep it since it directly overlaps with other boards I'm not getting rid of.
Only keep it if its better than the boards it overlaps!
I have a buddy who's a big lib guy and he said the Mullair is probably his favorite board of all time. We were just talking the other idea about how the BC may be the spiritual successor (and possibly even better).

the BC sure feels a lot like the mullair to me so far.
whether it is better or not is tbd, i'll have a good idea of where this thing ranks for me pretty soon.

Always seemed to me that the BC was brought into the line to pick up where the mu left off. Such a great shape. Picking it up now!

Good call dude, I liked the Mullair a lot too, but imo the BC is 100 times better. But get ready for party in the front, all business in the back. All while still having enough flex to be fun.

Daaaang, talk about a cherry on top. The homie I scored this from is a Baker ripper from Bellingham who moved here a couple years ago. He has mutual friends with the Cummins family, and turns out this deck ultimately came from Temple's garage through one of those friends (obviously my friend's stickers, though). Guess that means I should keep it.

iirc, weren’t you a fan of Temple’s Billy Goat boards before the Mullair came along?
not surprising you’d like the Banked

It's not something I would ride these days, but I loved the billygoat at the time. Only had one.. it was especially damp with the anvitex layer. They sent me a B-grade 2015 in 2014, because the GNU beast I had was flat (supposed to be C3) and was oddly soft for what it should have been. It mostly rode fine, but the nerd in me asked about it, and that was the response
Speaking of - the beast was a rad shape. Don't think it was tapered, but longer nose and kick, with a stubby tail kick. Bit more directional than the mullair & banked

@Spenser I think you’re gonna love it. Curious to eventually hear your thoughts when you take your Pencil out to compare.
Just waxed my BC for tomorrow.

ooh BeaverWax base cleaner!
The BC is a board I'd buy just on the off chance that it would help me ride like Temple or Cannon.

Haha, I practically never use it. Only for the really dirty jobs. My kids found it and were asking what it tasted like. I had to yank it away before they found out.
