Thanks for guiding an old boarder into finding his new deck. I resisted all winter and waited for an end of winter deal... board just got delivered but since snow is gone (living in the Laurentians mountains in Quebec) i now have to stare at my board until next season gets here... Thanks to you mister Angry! (My old Ride Fuel will get jealous next year!)

Freeride dream indeed! Have been riding this the past season and from icy moguls to 3' of pow, it has consistently been locked in and ready to rock. Definitely everything I wanted in a freeride board and so much more, the local shop hit it out of the park with recommending it.

Got one this year - rode 2 days at Keystone and 2 days in SoCal so far- love this board - review is 100% on point - this board is fast, smooth and builds tremendous confidence when you're on edge.

I've been on the Berzerker for a bunch of years now. Absolutely love it for All Mountain riding here at Whistler/Blackcomb. Hard charging ginsu 🔪

So for everyone commenting on the wide version, I did a comparison between a 163W Prototype (yeah I know, I don't care, I like it), a 158W Jib Saw and a 160W Berzerker. The Jib Saw was about 275 across the base at the reference stance both front and back, Prototype was about the same at 276 front and back. The Berzerker was about 267 at the front binding and 265 under the back binding so it is about 10 mm narrower under foot. Considering the width difference between a standard 157 Jibsaw and a 158W Jibsaw is a pretty consistent 10mm at the nose, waist and tail it does make me feel like this is actually pretty close to a standard width board, maybe mid-wide at best.

I have a 160W from a season or two ago and I loooooove it. He described perfectly my board so apparently not much has changed.

Got the Berzerker this last December! It’s the quickest turning board I have owned in the last 33 years of boarding! Can’t wait to get it on the deep stuff!

I’d say you nailed the review. Ride it or it will ride you. Thanks!

Mine might be a bit big, 165 for 180lb 5'10'' but I love it. Gotta charge to work it, but it will be there for any landing. Great in the deep stuff too, set it back, the old way haha. Just the fastest board ever too, you'll be waiting for the park board friends without trying

Just picked one up on Sun and Ski for $420 including tax and shipping. The mid-Atlantic season is pretty much done but I'll be stoked to ride it next season.

so just picked up the last seasons model for half off from Christie sports, because that is how cheap I am, and this is an honorable mention, and i appreciate that the review is in relation to the Rome Black labels, but have been unable to find the link that references other comparable bindings that would excel on this deck. I went ahead and got the Cartels because they were cheap and sellilng out,, but would be curious what a newer review might say with respect to the latest and greatest in bindings.

I know you probably own a shit ton of boards and also ride a shit ton more boards throughout the season but it would be cool to see your quiver or theoretical quiver/ dream quiver. The berserker is on my list for a board in my quiver for sure.

It is comparable. Haven't been on it yet so can't tell you either way.

PRO: The good reviews are accurate. Rode all this season on chop, smooth, moguls, mashed potatoes, and ice ice ice all with no problem. Quick, responsive, and cuts “like a ginsu” as @davesakolinsky mentioned. Can bomb and carve down the hill with authoritah. CON: It IS a stiff camber. It grips super hard on the front and back. Butters and spinnies on the snow on off jumps will demand more calculated effort. So consider this with your preferred riding style. Have fun! Be safe! =]

Maybe too much, this is what I was trying ask in the first place. You see it'a a bit hard to position myself in relation to hard charging all terrain dominating guy, and whether the same board that is good for them, would be bad for me. And that's why I hoped you would be able comment on this vs Deep Thinker, that I had recent experience with, and liked way better for what I'm doing than my current one. Thus i'm inclined to think that my current board (Salomon Surface from 13 years back, used to be traditional camber then, but quite soft) is way to mellow for my liking, and want to buy something "more of a board". I do plan to keep my old one as my second board for the lazy cruising days tho.

@@michalbrzezinski2958 I always ride stiff, aggressive, camber-dominant boards. For me, this one is easier to engage than others in my quiver, perhaps due to the narrower width. If you're an intermediate or rely on your back leg for turning, this is not the board for you. 167cm is A LOT of board to muscle around. You need to truly understand how to engage turns with correct technique, otherwise you'll be worn out after a few runs. If you're just a casual rider, I'd look at an intermediate level board, which will be cheaper to buy as well. Gnu Antigravity and Libtech Dynamo are more forgiving boards for somebody learning turn technique, but still high performance.

P.S also ride 50 miles/55,000k Vert in one day (my first day) at stowe on my Berzerker.
