Hmmm. Had a bit of crisis of confidence for a while, but back on track!
Loads of shreddin’ pros have ridden sketch stuff on DIY splits – Most of the guys in Deeper were on solid boards self-split (or by someone else), and it’s a pretty standard thing to do. You lose some stiffness, sure, but as long as you choose a stiffer to start with…
The inner edge isn’t a massive deal, anyway. She’ll have “ski” crampons for the icier stuff, and the big impacts are going to be on the outside edges on the way down, not on the way up.
And although I’d accept the point that the shreddin’ pro’s are less bothered about longevity, I doubt they’d be taking on lines like this on a board they weren’t 100% confident in:

Still need to find the right board, though. Point taken about the Powder Snake being soft, Steve. And I’m still interested in having a chat about the Mojo RXs you have.
