This is a bit of a follow up to the original Capita Mercury review I had a year or so ago. It still is a really good do everything board, though in the last season I used it a lot more in the park than I originally expected. When I first bought the Mercury I got it in a slightly bigger size so that it would handle powder better, and I had my Capita Outsiders as my park board.

This past season I ended up riding the Mercury in the park about the same amount as I rode it in powder, and it just made everything a bit easier as I didn't have to think about what about I would take out, I could just use this one board for everything.

I had kept it in pretty good condition, so I detuned the edges between the feet as they were pretty sharp, and started riding it in the park. It does quite well, and although a softer board would probably be easier to learn new tricks and have a bit more forgiveness, it was still better than I expected.

If I was shopping for a new park board I would never really consider a 157 as something I would use on tubes and rails, but it wasn't as much of an issue as I expected. It seems that the rocker on the nose and tail make it feel a little shorter than it really is.

Even after lots of use, and being broken in it is still medium stiff, so I can hardly press it, at least not enough for it to count as a proper press.
