Construction and Materials

The liveliest of rides starts with a full length poplar wood core that’s lightweight and poppy. This is wrapped in a triax topsheet for a little more torsional stiffness to ensure it feels stable on edge – useful when you’re setting up for a spin at mach 10, or just charging down your favourite trail with your crew. The Jackpot’s longitudinal flex is pretty responsive but there’s no carbon in the layup so you don’t have to have the legs of an ox to load ollies or presses. Finishing things off is a sintered base that will keep you clearing the knuckle with ease – provided you remember to wax it.

Roundup

When you give a board a name like the Jackpot, you’d better hope it ticks all the boxes. This latest version certainly does that, providing freestyle-focused riders with a nimble, versatile deck that’s loaded with proven technology and more fun than a night out in Vegas. Cheaper, too.
