I have last year's alibi. It's a pretty darn good board. I do a bunch
of park riding but not so much pipe and it seems that the tail has a
crap load of pop. Plus its pretty stiff so it can lay down a clean carve
(fibreglass goes 4 ways!). I'm 175cm/175lb and the 156 holds up my
weight pretty well. The first day I took it to Mont Tremblant and I
thought my legs were going to give cuz it was so stiff (although my
riding style at that time needed a little work). After I got used to the
board and also improved my riding, I quickly grew to love it's snappy
nature. When I hit the park it lands pretty solid and pops pretty high.
One thing is out of the shrink wrap the edges will need a little
detuning if you decide to hit rails as it can bite pretty hard. I
actually wouldn't mind another one of those myself.
