That traditional camber profile provides good edge-hold, stability and pop for springing out of those turns. That’s largely down to that traditional camber profile which hurts it in the powder – in this case it helps with it’s carving. It steps up its game a bit in the carving stakes so if you like to lay down a few carves in between hitting the park or playing freestyle on the groomers, then you can do so. And it’s no surprise that it lacks powder prowess, after all it has a traditional camber profile and a centered stance – two things which will make it difficult to keep the parkitects nose out of the snow. The Parkitect isn’t really made for powder – and as far as riding in the deep stuff goes – this is the major weakness of this deck. Let’s take a look a the different areas of strength and weakness for the Parkitect. I’d like to see it also come in a size suitable for at least up to 200lbs (90kg) but that’s about my only complaint. Unfortunately they don’t make the Parkitect in that many sizes (as you can see in the table above) so the Parkitect is better for lighter riders. It’s on the park side of an all-mountain freestyle deck with it’s major strengths lying in the park but it’s no slouch on the rest of the mountain – or else it wouldn’t have been my #1 all-mountain freestyle ride. The Parkitect is suitable to anyone who likes to ride the park but also likes to ride freestyle on the rest of the mountain.
