i contacted a few guys who run their own snowboard review channels asking for what boards they would recommend for someone who wants a park board that can hold its own in the park when its icey, while still being able to press well on boxes and rails. the headspace was the only board that everyone had in common to recommend. after my own research i honestly didnt want this board. i wasnt a fan of asym or magnetraction. my previous park board was the nvrsmr funslinger and it was fine i just got annoyed with the assym. i hadnt owned a board with magnetraction but my experience with testing a few and riding some friends i wasnt a fan. so those were to major marks against the headspace for me. and... i have to say it. i hate the graphics. like so much i covered the deck with matte black vynil! but anyway what really sold me was the dudes online recommending it. i felt like every deck i had bought myself or recommended to a friend was because of the dudes online. so i gottah give a shout out to the Angry Snowboarder, board archive, the good ride, and the snowboard asylum. thanks for the recommendation and the solid review videos to convince me that a board i believed had more negative attributes than possitive would end up being a board im beyond stoked to own and ride. it does everything i wnated and more. the edge hold on ice is supperb, pressabilty is awesome, pop is just right and predictable. what blew me away is how capable it is outside of the park. like resort groomers are no sweat. slight sluff and small chunder is doable, and heavily packed down treelines are all great big ole bob ross happy accidents. with that said... the graphic might be the worst graphic ive ever seen on anything,,, ever, but hey like i said earlier if you want this board feel the same just get some vynil and never do method lol
