I've been out on my danny kass btx 159 twice already this season once at hunter and big boulder. It holds an edge just fine for me and is stable at high speeds. It also seems like it presses easier on rails than other boards but i have to ride it more to give better feedback on that. The only complaint i have is when coming up to a rail flatbased is seems alittle squirly. I dont know if its because i've been learning back a little more than usual. I feel like you real have to stay centered with you weight so the board doesn't seem squirly oh and yes it is a scam....
