Demo Data

Board: Capita Mega Demise 2025, 156cm (256mm waist width)

Date: March 6, 2024

Powder

There was some shallower powder and even some comparatively respectable accumulation on the day I examined the Mega Demise. And it felt actually good in there. And that ought to translate pretty effectively to deeper powder too, with a directional form, rocker within the nostril, however not within the tail and a setback stance. 

Carving

This factor might actually rip a carve! It felt at its greatest on lengthy radius excessive velocity carves and good and steady carving by less-than-smooth snow too. For the way mild it’s, it certain felt damp.

Turning

Ease of Turning/Slashing: I discovered the Mega Demise to be fairly torsionaly stiff and I believe that was the primary issues that made flip initiation a bit of troublesome. It is total extra locked-in really feel meant it wasn’t effectively suited to slashing both. 

Maneuverability at gradual speeds: It wasn’t tremendous agile at gradual speeds for me. Fairly good once I actually threw my vitality into it, but it surely felt much more pure and required much less effort, once I was driving it at quicker speeds. 

Catchiness: It wasn’t one thing I might describe as extremely catchy, however undoubtedly some catchiness to it. You must give it the deliberate vitality it wants, and use good method when driving it or it may be unforgiving.

Pace

An actual bomber! I did not really feel the slightest shake at velocity and minimal chatter. And for any such board a 156 is a bit of undersized for me – it will be even higher at velocity within the 159. 

Uneven Terrain

Crud/Chunder: Dealt with it with the grace and ease of a gently coiling frozen yoghurt. OK, perhaps not fairly like that, however I discovered it simply didn’t get bucked hardly in any respect, even at velocity in and a few actually messy stuff.

Bushes/Bumps: It isn’t that you just essentially cannot get it going edge-to-edge rapidly in tight areas – it could, to an extent anyway, but it surely’s fairly laborious work. It might be fatiguing spending  a very long time within the timber with it. However it will do effectively in powdered timber, I might say – particularly primarily based on my expertise with the BSOD in timber with powder – it goes from laborious work to superb. 

Jumps

I discovered it to be an actual stomper for landings however not tremendous forgiving when you acquired it flawed. Good for skilled jumpers however in all probability an excessive amount of for these simply entering into leaping.

Pop: It has a extremely good quantity of complete pop – however you would not understand it when you did not put within the work to load it up. Takes a very good quantity of effort to extract that pop, however whenever you do wind it up, it offers again lots. 

Strategy: Tremendous steady for quicker approaches or any method that you do not have to make any changes for. Would not do as effectively when you must make little changes.

Touchdown: Absolute stomper! While you get it proper, however fairly unforgiving when you do not land straight. There’s sufficient tail there that tail heavy landings are all good. 

Facet-hits: Not my perfect as you have to work fairly laborious to get its come out and to make fast maneuvers. 

Swap

Doable and never dangerous, however not superb. Transitions felt a bit of catchy.

Spins

It felt good and light-weight and had good pop (with effort) which I actually wish to have for spins.

However the setup was a bit of catchy. And touchdown and taking off change wasn’t perfect, although not horrible both.

It did not have any points with over-rotating after touchdown, however I did discover it was fairly troublesome to complete an under-rotation after touchdown.

Butters

I discovered it took a very good little bit of effort to press however did lock in effectively once I was capable of get it there. Positively does not over flex!

The tail and nostril did really feel completely different with the tail being stiffer and shorter.

Rotating butters was a bit on the catchy aspect.
