| Conclusion | This board will rock your socks! I first tried the Heritage on a demo day in Jan 06. I wasn’t satisfied with my Burton Canyon and didn’t know enough to know what I really wanted. Just wasn’t happy. I felt the difference in the Heritage just getting off the first lift. It just felt good. Fast and stable but easy to turn. Good side cut gives the tip and tail just a bit more width than a Premier. I can run fast on the blue and black groomers and then duck into a twisty tree run. Lean back in the powder and your floating on a cloud. The stance is closer to center than most directional boards, so running fackie isn’t too bad. First board I have been able to run in moggle fields on also. 07/08 was my first season for rails, pipes and jumps. Rails and pipes are fine, but my inexperience and the agressive side cut makes landings touchy. You gotta stick the down side, nice and flat or the board might edge and turn out from under you. My board is an 06/07 model and number 3 off the assembly line. It has about 40 days on the mountain and still looks and rides terrific. The top sheet is tough and holds up well, so it hardly looks used at all and I can’t tell any difference in the ride from new. The rails hold edges for a long time too. I have only ground the edges once and they still feel good. The base holds wax well. I put down nearly 20 days since my last wax and the base still looks good and not dry at all. I like to ride just about everything from powder in the bowl to light moggles to small pipes and rails to kickers and jumps to twisty trees. This board handles it all with confidence. I gave a 9 on performance because I’m sure there is a better board out there, which I havn’t ridden yet. This one is so close to perfect though, its not worth looking for any thing else. I hit a Burton demo day in Jan 08 but didn’t find anything which came close to the Heritage. My 161cm board can just barrely handly my size 11 boots. If your bigger than 11 than get the X model. If you like to run the whole mountain and only have enough money for one board, than give the Heritage a try. I found exactly what I was looking for and you just might too. |
