    Hi All,

    I just received my my Bamboo GT yesterday. I took it out for a maiden last night after a hike. It was fun, but I was pretty tired. I rode around at my lunch break today and had a blast. It's a lot harder to ride than I expected. I need to get used to the loose trucks. I know I can tighten them up, but when they're loose, its more like surfing. Other than the body direction, control doesn't feel much like snowboarding to me.

    I want to learn to slide, but don't have the balls to turn that hard at speed.

    Anyway, I've been on this forum lurking for over two months. I finally bit the bullet and made my purchase. It's money well spent.

    I'm looking forwarded to learning to ride this beast. Hope you all are having as much fun as I am.

    Welcome Fred! Glad you're enjoying it :)

    I came to this from snowboarding and it felt kind of odd for me too as you can't easily kick the board out from under you to slide on the edge, like you can with a snowboard. I ride only on AT, so it took some time to get used to trusting the tyres to grip and really dig my toes and heels into the corners without sliding out from under me, you get used to it though.

    If you want to learn how to slide there's a pretty good from the Evolve YouTube channel here:
