I've been looking for a new technine jib series board and they are so hard to find in the US. Im looking for a 153. If anyone knows of any online places or local places that have them i'd appreciate the heads up. I know DH has/had one so he might know.

The board is super soft but also breaks fairly easily. I've already warned Dennis about this so I don't feel so bad posting it but the TN Jib is one of the cheaper boards they have made in their China factory and you get what you pay for. I purposely went out of my way to not put too much stress on my old Jib (read: I didn't do any tailblocks) and still broke it after probably 20 or 30 days on hill. I realize this can be 2+ seasons for your average rider but in my experiences I would stay away from any of the TN China boards. Their more expensive lines are pressed in the Elan factory and are awesome.

I find it to be stiffer that most jib boards. Its for sure stiffer then the WWW, Stairmaster, and the Artifact. I love it so far though. It won TW's goodwood so it cant be too bad.

Once it really breaks in I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I never said it's a bad board, I'm just concerned with how long I'll be physically able to ride it before I have to get a new one. I'd rather not have to replace my board four or five times a season.
