Funniest park slayer ever.
av Juho, Blue Tomato Shop Rovaniemi, Blue Tomato, 28. feb. 2024
I'm 176 cm tall and weight around 80 kg. My foot size is us 9. I have been riding over 20 years and mainly ride in the park. I have always been more into quite soft and short boards because my riding style is really loose and like that board feel is more surfy and skate like feel. I chose this product in size 153 and i would say that it is a perfect fit for me.
I have tested the board about 15 days now and it has been performing excellent since the first day. I have ridden the board in the park and it performs really well in the rails and boxes, but also on the small and medium jumps. Maybe for the biggest jumps this isn't the optimal choice but in my opinion the board handled the bigger obstacles okay too. I have also ridden the board in a small half pipe and it was really fun and handled it quite good. Sleepwalker works also when just cruising around the resort and trying to find some side hits and slashing some snow on skiers. Sleepwalker got Salomon`s Rock Out camber profile which I would describe mild camber. You can notice the camber profile but its not too aggressive and you can twist and press the board easily. Overall flex on this board feels like 4/10 so its not a completely noodle, but not a stiff board either. One thing I liked also on Sleepwalker is the Salomon`s Freestyle Edge Bevel, which means that your edges are slightly turned so it gives little forgiveness on rails. This years model Salomon also upgraded the base from extruded to sintered base which is nice.
I would recommend this board for anybody who is spending most of their days in the park and like a little softer board that is also very fun to ride.
