That's how I feel about the Lib Rig and Mervin boards in general. Good to have one or two in the quiver.

same, but for the BC, and that has been my feeling of mervins as well. damp, stiff, and ready to charge. very confidence inspiring and landing on them is great.

i am getting back to really only riding just one board all the time these days as i love the familiarity and being completely in tune with it. that being said, i'm riding my transition finder a bit more here later season on chiller days.

10 runs in 90 minutes on beautiful groomers and this thing rips! So fast, stable and the edge hold is great.

Awesome to hear, dude!

Granted today is a great day and I could be riding a 2x4 and it would be fun!

Is it an optical illusion, or are your bindings biased to your heel edge? Like a lot.

I think it is an illusion brought on by the fact my front is at 21*, the JL is a mid-wide, and I'm only an 8.5 (the footprint of these boots is teeny, too). I will check it though.

I got the Jamie Lynn out in 4-8” of unusually (for us) fluffy snow, once I got used to the lack of early rise and the lower up kick of the nose it rode really well. Even though it is a bit stiffer between the feet I can still pivot it well in the trees. I did bury the nose in some turns and go over the handlebars where my Skeleton Key or Stun Gun would have been fine but overall it was very enjoyable especially when things got steeper. I also had no issues with base glide but I did spend some time waxing it from new, hot scraped it first and then waxed it before riding it for the first time and then waxing it after each ride with Hertel.

We’d get along swimmingly!

Now it happened to me, first time ever, delamination started on 2020 Ejack Knife: I bought it recently used, it did not even had visible marks from bindings, although base was dry and probably never waxed, so it was ridden, but not much.

Now I need to figer out how to fix it, problem is that top glass is delaminating from core, but sidewall is delaminating from the base, so "pocket" is not accessible. I am thinking to drill a hole in sidewall to access the pocket with syringe with needle, also need to find epoxy which will flow through the needle.

All other cases, which I managed to google, seems to have clear impact marks, in my case it looks like delaminating started just from flexing.

Even though you're not the original owner, I would still contact them about it to see what they say. That is 100% a manufacturing defect, and they are well aware of it, as it happens regularly & has been for a long time.

Edit: I overlooked the model year... still think it's worth asking about.
