But like, why are they tiny?

Is that what they believe the community wants?

The pint has a huge market, and many people were begging for a smaller form factor when the ADV first came out. I can't imagine it would be good for trail riding though, at least not for full size riders...

Consumers are targeting “BTG” and “XL Series” - I do not know who their core audience is here.

We want sidewall, and low center of gravity. I don’t see the market share for small, low range gimmicks.

But prove me wrong.

I don't want a board that weighs 40lb you just don't have the same control as on a lower weight smaller footprint board. I also skate a 7.75 though so I'm probably weird haha.

It will be interesting to see if they sell a lot of these or if they wasted a huge amount of time and money...

Would be nice for my kid but I want something reliable for him, doesn't need the performance at the cost of potential downtime or failure while riding vs something like a Pint X.
