    I got to demo one finally. I am 6'2" 220 lbs and all they had was the 159. I was totally surprised how well the board size suited me. My BSOD is a 162, and I would most likely do the same in the Mega, but damn it just rode so well. I had the opportunity to smash some deep pow (12") and it still floated great for me as well. The only thing I didn't really get to test was super high speed groomers, that's where the extra length may help with stability. The first jump I hit was crazy as it felt like there was nothing strapped to my feet, it just wanted to fly. I am most likely going to have to pick one up next year.

    Favorite setup/ daily driver: 2021 BSOD (DEATH MACHINE) 161W, 2020 Union Atlas bindings, K2 Thraxis boots. 6'4 210lbs I am that rider what you may have seen in other reviews as the guy who has loud aggressive death metal blasting in their ears doing Mach Jeezuz down the mountain who likes to lay trenches indicative of the BSOD rider. On fresh groomers all you want to do is carve it. Powder is easy and floaty The BSOD handles tracked out runs with incredible ease as well as. I can freeride just about anything with this setup but spend almost zero time in the park. The Mega Death seems to be the next level BSOD I have been hoping for, not to say the BSOD was lacking. The lightness was also a huge selling point. (Also a MegaDeth fan...), seems to be the next level from what I want as a speed/ carve/ freeride demon. Review from AS tells me all I want to know especially since I know the profile and I'm sold. I have already purchased my Mega Death @ 161w and will be using my K2 thraxis boots and Union Atlas Pro bindings. First runs will be in Mammoth, Vail, Big Sky, and Zeramatt. This all being said I will still keep my BSOD and compare

    In boards the number one thing I look for is turn. From someone who hates a doa and an outsider because the rail is strange and they feel like ass when turning plus they shed an insane amount of speed when you 90 degree them, but absolutely loves the aggressive yet playful feel of the turn on an asymulator, and likes a mercury okay, how is the turn on this? If you've tried the rome freaker it has the same type of too sturdy, non playful cut/rail as a doa and an outsider you might get what I'm trying to say.

    Thanks for the great review. How does the Mega Death compare to BSOD in edge to edge transition going slow? I tried the BSOD a few times and like its characteristics at speed, but going slow, the edge to edge transition felt a bit clumsy and not very smooth - will this feel equal with the Mega Death or is the Mega Death more responsive going slow? Thanks a lot

If you can compare the dampness on uneven terrain / float in powder/ carving experiences for both boards. I always hear that capita is geared towards park thus the hesitation and leaning towards Jones Stratos. I would appreciate your recommendation. Thank you.
