Mikey C, My Phoenix Has Over 300 Days OnSnow and Still Kills it!!!
R-Dogg: 
Mikey C, I find it hard to believe that your Phoenix just started to fall apart, because I have over 300 days on mine with no problems. Sounds like you might of hit something with the tips to cause it to crack or chip. You are lucky you weren't riding a board with a fully wrapped metal edge, because the impact could have easily pushed the edge into the tip ending your boards life. Lib Tech also has a great warrenty department. Send your board in. If it truely just fell apart they will send you a new one. The Phoenix uses the strongest top sheet available. It is to bad that someones edge scratched your art work. If you want more art produced by Jamie Lynn, my advice is that you buy another Phoenix and mount it to your wall, because it will be $1000's less than buying a painting from him. You can also put a sticker over your scratch since it is a snowboard we are talking about here.

I have 300+ days on my Phoenix without any problems. I am very sorry to hear about your boyfriends board chipping at the tip. It sounds like he hit something with the tips causing it to crack. If it was a full metal wrap construction, the edge could have easily dented inward destroying the board. He is lucky to have a girlfriend that is smart enough to buy him a board with fully wrapped metal edges. If the top sheet starts to chip from impact, buy some expoy for $5 and seal it up, because it will only get worse if he continues to ride it, but still better than a metal edge that has been pushed into the core. Lib Tech also has a great warranty department.I guess I can't feel to bad for your boyfriend if he still loves to ride the board and dosen't care enough to write his own complaint. Buy him some epoxy!
HRRMMMMMMM

I am on my second Lib Tech board. My first was the Jamie Lynn 157 from a few years back. The one with the abstract cat on it. Love the board, rode it about 15 times a year from the year it came out (2000ish) until the 06/07 season. Loved it. This board however... Has the quality gone down? It rides great, I love the way it feels on the mountain, but I'm not so sure of the quality. The first one started de-laminating after the first day I rode it. A small section of the tail cracked and began seperating. Not cool. Now on my second one, the site got it to me real fast, no questions asked. Thank you guys. But now, even the smallest scratch on the top shows up white, like the top of the deck artwork is like a paper thin film? WTF. I'm not sure if my next board will be a Lib-Tech, we'll see how this one holds up after a few years.

I've been riding mervin prodcuts for the last two seasons, and I'd have to say that craftsmanship is horrible! I had a GNU rider's choice and that board chipped easily, I had to super-glue some parts of the top sheet down. Also I hit some rails a few times and the side wall craved in. I thought i might of had a bad model but then it happened again this year with the Lib Tech Phenoix series. My brother also bought Lib tech NAS skis, and after one day of trees and riding the resort the top sheet and sidewall was done. The side wall also seems like paper material just glued onto ABS plastic. I'm very disappointed to say the least. I would never buy any mervin products again. I don't know how they end up as award winner year after year. Definitely not a board to get if your investing $400 plus dollars to last you season after season. I hate to say it, but I would recommend burton, forum, and ride. I've never had craftsmanship problem with them.

Best boards. I work in a shop and see all the boards that come back. Its industry wide not just Mervin. The majority of boards that come back or get reviewed in bulk is bc a majority of riders are on them. Its a snowboard , its gonna get screwed up. LIB has great people and is legit.
