Bought this today and sold it to a friend couple hours later because too many boards.

I slept on the Easy Rider sale section the whole time they had these since I don't really get to Edmonton much, so I didn't waste time when I found out Rude Boys had a 155 in stock. The camber is a bit mellower than I was expecting? The middle dip doesn't dip super far down or anything, it basically looks flat, but the camber towards the tip and tail isn't particularly high. There's likely Mervariance™ at play here. And the ol' hand flexometer definitely puts it into the medium category, as noted by others here it's not the burly flex that maybe the older ones had.

I’d love to try one. What’s your specs?

@Shredder I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs or so. I honestly wish they made a 157, but that's just me getting in my own head about things. @Kevington has compared riding a 155 and 159.

This is the only board with mag that I have any interest in trying.
The mag seems to start somewhere behind the front foot but before the waist. I can't capture it with my phone camera, but the info sticker here on the base is pretty much aligned with the front inserts.

pretty sure that's a rep sample, not a production run board.

This Î, it's a preproduction board with the tech shown. Got it at a K2 garage sale here in Sweden.

All this talk about Alek made me grab his only? pro model, Rome Ravine 155.

That Ravine shape was really good. I would’ve loved a “Select” version of that board, now I kinda want to hunt down a first gen one again. I went through so much trouble finding a Syndicate version (always sweated the syndicate bases, thanks Spenser) and then ended up selling it during Covid before I could ride it.

Yeah I wish I had one of those first gens before they did the 3D nose.

Did you cop that off freeride.se? I was very close to buying it. I've ridden that board for a day and it is a lot of fun. Comically soft though. Like
@michaelangelo says, a Select version would be great. The shape is so much more appealing to me than the current version.
