    I tried out that board for a day - it was great. It is soft enough for boxes and rails but not super soft. remember, MFM is a very strong rider and can get the board to flex with power and balance... you might not get the tip way up high in the manuals and butters until you get used to it. I would like to have that board to ride again. Have fun with it!

    I'm sorry to disagree with the previous answer, but you should absolutely look for a board with AT LEAST 25cm in waist width. It's not that your boots won't "fit". It's just that those size 11 dogs will drag on sharp turns or chunky snow otherwise. Additionally, you'll lose some toe/heel response since they will sticking out over the edges rather than being flush. Your weight actually qualifies you for a shorter board, however. The whole school of thought on board length has changed over the years due to the popularity of park and pipe riding. Hell, I remember when we used to buy boards that reached our chins standing up. A wide 157 will definitely float you in the fluffy stuff but keep you responsive in the park. Oh! Also make sure you find the right amount of flex and camber in the board you want. Flex is obvious (how stiff the board is). Camber relates to "pop". Lay the board on a flat surface and look underneath. The less contact the middle of the board makes with the floor, the more camber you have. So, when you're riding and you start to lift into a jump, the board will spring more. OK, I'm at work but I could write a ton more. Hope this helps. And pickup Transworld Snowboarding's 2007 Buyer's Guide.

    Wide boards are sick in the park. I had a Libtech wide and loved it everywhere on the mountain. He's a good jibber and from the interviews I've seen he's pretty mixed in the process from his boards to his headphones so I don't think he'd make a junk board with his name on it.

    I never heard of anybody buying it, but MFM is known for his jibbing so, I would assume that it's good.
