I was set on buying one as well, read up on the slayblade and pretty much went in to buy it, but thought might as well test ride them as well. As soon as I got on the TD I just thought this is wicked...
one of the main reasons I wanted the slay was my old board used to flex alot on landings, was a little worried the td might be a little flexy but on actually hitting some drops and the park I found it to be really solid and controlled on landings, with the rocker lifting the nose in powder so I could concentrate on picking a line and enjoying the ride rather than focusing so much on just keeping the nose up. I've got the 160 wide, which I measured at 161.
Do you not live near a snow centre where you could give each a test ride and get a better idea?
