I was back on my Blunt XLs earlier this week at the snow dome here in the UK. Valmorel and I only rode the Spliffs when we were out in the Alps in January.
We both decided to revisit the XLs. I was immediately reminded what fun, playful boards the Blunt XLs are. They make me smile. I was soon carving big turns, yet they're equally as good at making short swings. Valmorel was impressed by my form. He told me that I was keeping the XLs very close together yet I found that very easy, angulating up onto the edges effortlessly. Maybe the XLs are not as fast as the Spliffs but I found it a little easier to keep the XLs under control. When I say that the Spliffs are faster, please don't think that the XLs are slow. Very few folk could pass me when I let the XLs have their head, so to speak. Not running flat by the way but switching quickly from edge to edge.
I intend to take the Blunt XLs on my next trip to the Alps as I have realised that speed isn't everything, one also has to have the maximum fun!
