I took this opportunity to try out the Capita Saturnia 143. I wanted to try the Qween but I found it way too stiff. It would be ideal for the half pipe but the pipe wasn't cut yet.
I also had the guys at the Capita tent throw on Union Milan bindings, and god, they sucked. My boyfriend tried out the Scaremaster with different Union bindings, not sure what model they were but they were red. He loved the bindings, but he hated the board.My boyfriend thought it was icy at the top but I didn't think so, I thought it was more choppy than icy. There were also lots of little bumps to ollie off. It was a lot of fun taking the Saturnia there. Lots of pop and also really quick edge to edge. It's so effortless to turn because it's just so quick, really nice for approaching rails. When I was riding quicker, there was minimal chatter. Not bad enough to affect the ride.
When I was jibbing, I wasn't sure if I liked the Saturnia for that. There was nothing special about it on rails and boxes. I liked my K2 Duchess better for that, and it's supposed to be an all mountain board.
The Saturnia is also easy to press and butter; I buttered it on the last box in the Copper park and down the run.
Overall, I thought it was more fun for fucking around with on the runs than on the actual rails even though it's meant for that. It was just so much fun to ollie off bumps and rollers and I loved how it was quick edge to edge.
Now, the Union Milan bindings. These have got to be beginner bindings, god, they sucked so much. I was riding hard and turning hard, doing a lot of airs, and these bindings hurt the bottom of my feet really bad. I never had that issue before. They were pretty soft too, you could even flex the highbacks. I really liked the toe strap however, I just wish that the guys at Capita gave me better ones to try out.
