So I had the lucky pleasure of being able to demo a 07/08 Rossi Mini, but they made one for women! It's 119 cm, the guys is 121cm. The board is soooo much fun, it feels like nothing is attached to your feet and you get tons of air. It definitely rides like a much longer board, but much lighter. It's a bit weird looking down and not seeing this huge nose and nail that you'd be used to on a normal board, but then you forget about it. Not sure about it's rail performance because they wouldn't let me take it on rails but it actually holds up on the landings for jumps. It's soft too, not exactly the same type of flex that a normal board has but I could hold butters and tail presses/manuals for days. It's pretty good at holding an edge without scrubbing out for a board its size, though I'm not sure how it handles ice since there really wasn't any. Pop- well ..since it doesn't exactly have the nose and tail to spring off of quite like a regular sized board, the pop isn't quite there..but..since the board is so light and small..you can ollie it really high, it's like having a skateboard strapped to your feet, and it takes some getting used because the ollie doesn't feel quite the same as on a normal sized board. I give this board an A-, the minus is because I ride with a f*cking large stance for someone my height and the stance options didn't go that wide which makes sense for a small board but still..I would've liked to go as wide as I normally ride. I recommend this board for people who are looking for a board just to fool around on cause it's super fun!
