Good Features
Great freestyle board designed for Danny Kass, if you have bigger then size 10 feet this mid-wide board will keep your toes from getting any drag. The core is genetically modified aspen, whatever that means? But when riding you can feel the solidness to the board, whatever they did it was right. The sintered base is nice and fast so you don't have to worry when your straight lining that next jump if your going to get up to speed. Also who wouldn't want a tiger strip board.
Bad Features
Well when I look at the board flying over the booter I always seem to get dizzy and miss the landing.
Recommended Alternatives
Check out the Burton Custom X if you want a board that more versatile over the mountain. |

From The House:
The Gnu Danny Kass vertigo series: Sandwich construction! Same 3 sizes, in regular and mid wide. Altered Genetic AG2 alloy core, EISS 9 sidewall systems, UHMW sidewalls, sintered bases. Danny filmed another solid video part with his friends on this board. Danny won some more pipe contests on this board last year including his 4th US OPEN on this board. Danny rode up the chair and made secret googly love eyes at his girlfriend with this board strapped to his foot. Good things happen when you ride Danny's board.... About The Art - I've been dizzy off and on for the past several days, with spinning sensation. Sometimes it feels like the ground tilts while I'm walking. This morning when I woke up and looked at the alarm clock it was spinning. When I went to get up, I rolled out of bed and fell on the floor.
