Like any smart board-tester, Tina figured out early that the only way to ride ten boards a day and keep smiling is to continually have a mug of some sort in her hands. A recent addition to the pro-rider free-agent list, Tina�s ridden for, and worked with, some heavy-hitting snowsliding companies, so she knows her way around a board.

The test made a good study for Tina, who�s always pushing herself to learn and "trying to do it with style." She jibbed and buttered a little on each board for starters, then stepped it up to the jumps and pipe. "It was cool riding different stuff and checking out what�s on the market," Tina said. Like most of the other testers, flex and pop were at the top of Tina�s list when shopping for a new ride.
