Strengths: I got the 161W last week. The LowRize rocker holds a good edge even on hardpack, didn`t feel washy or sketchy, and the Machete handled very smoothly and stable at speed, due to slimewalls absorbing chatter. Base is fast, so no need to fear the dreaded knuckle. Amazingly stable landing ollies off rollers & park jump. LowRize profile makes presses almost too easy. It would not be my first choice for bombing black diamonds and steeps, but for an all-around board that’ll cruise the groomers and be equally comfortable rocking out in the park for a few hours, you can’t go wrong.
