"From having had the 2003 Ride Concept 162 and having moved to the '06 T6 162, I had my doubts on this new Concept UL 161 impressing me. I must say I was uberly surprised. This deck is clearly all it is hyped to be and more. First of all I'll admit I don't spend much time in the park, so I cannot tell you much about that. But when it comes to steeps, fast groommers and powder, I'm there.

Firts of all this board is fast, probably as fast as the T6, but without any chatter, AT ALL!! Also, it's shape made it immediatly easier to ride fakie, which impressed me. On the steeps it has held on very well, even on hard packed icy conditions. Which reminds me of a recent trip to Squaw Valley after a recent melt; I was rocked by how well this board did on icy conditions, fast and safe! Not once did I slip!

Finally where I wasn't the happiest with my T6; powder. The Concept UL is about 1 mm wider thatn the T6 and although this may sound like a very little I believe it makes a difference. The CUL did great in powder floating lightly on fluffy and heavy stuff and turning without much effort.

If you are looking for a board that is light, fast, smooth with a SOLID ride and you don't care for silly graphics, look no further than the CONCEPT UL. I'm loving it.

PS: Love the tech on this board, especially the top sheet being a fabric of some sort. The reason my T6 only lasted 2 years (about 75 days of riding) was its own self destruction. we'll see how this one holds up."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
