SD Mojo Split Snowboard
Chris in UT: 
Very satisfied with Voile's high quality snowboard construction. Appreciated excellent technical videos, tips & instructions at www.voile-usa.com. First days out took took about 10 mins to reconfigure from skinning to riding, needed a sheltered area to work without gloves. Board likes powder and big mountain turns, is noodle-ly on hardpack. Must take care initially mounting your standard snowboard bindings to get stance properly dialed in. Spooky on little downhills when climbing, but much faster up than snowshoes!
B+ BACKCOUNTRY BOARD
GREAT BOARD FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY: 
This board is great for the backcountry. I have used several times on day hikes and on a several day backcountry adventure. It functioned as well as my AT/tele friends skis. The only downfall is you HAVE to keep the back ski tips apart while skinning. If you hit the back latch pieces/bolts againts the edge they will be damaged. I had to add epoxy to the back tips and added a homemade deflector to help with this problem. Other than that is an AWESOME board!!!!
mojo vs freeride
Florid8: 
I picked up a Mojo 166 this year after spending a season on a SD freeride 159. Not sure how much is attributable to the increased length vs sidecut, but the mojo is a very different ride (I weigh 150). While the freeride is comfy in tight trees, the mojo likes to bomb. Very stable, but feels more like a quiver board than the freeride.
incredible powder slayer
blue buddha: 
in response to B+'s review: you had them on the wrong feet. super light, which is great for way up AND down. super responsive: you ride this thing, don't drive it. mojo definitely prefers powder. floats like a dream. can even go a few cm smaller (my roomie rides a 171 prior and always wants to borrow my 161 mojo. worth much more than you'll pay. this has been best season ever thanks to this board.
Great board...
moolatron2000: 
In response to B+ Backcountry Board... I wonder if he/she was touring correctly. The left side is meant for the right foot and vice versa, which puts those back latches/bolts on the outside... which makes it impossible to hit (unless you're very clever and flexible.)
