California
Solid quiver board, but nothing exceptional
1 year ago
I've had two Capita Defenders of Awesome 158 boards before this, and decided to switch to the Mercury 159 as I am more of a CA all-mountain rider than I used to be (come from an east coast park/freestyle upbringing). Inbounds: First, out of the box this board was FAST. Great base treatment. It really wants to go at high speed and it shreds the groomers with great edge hold. I found it was a bit more stable than the DoA on the chunder/off trail. Agility in the trees was good, and I felt confident in the edge hold on hardpack steeps/chutes. Switch carves also glorious. At slower speeds and when cruising the flats, I found the Mercury to be a bit less nimble edge-to-edge than the DoA. Again, this thing performs best at high speed. Freestyle: It's a directional all-mountain board so unsurprisingly it was a bit less playful than the DoA when messing around in the park, but you can still throw spins without too much extra oomph and landing felt stable. Powder: I had the opportunity to ride this in 2' of the fluffiest Alaskan powder on a cat-ski trip, and it performed decently with the stance set back to the furthest inserts, allowing me to float and keep the nose up without unduly burdening my back leg. The next day it dumped a much heavier 16" and we rode inbounds. While hot pow with almost any gear is going to be a challenge, I did not feel like this board was the best tool in those conditions. Overall I found myself missing my old board, but I still think this is a fine ride if you're mainly riding trails/steeps inbounds and like to go fast. It's a solid quiver board that will do 90% of what you need it to do.
