Thanks man!

should have tried this year's. i found it catchy in the past, which is odd cause the Mega is amazing to me and they're the same shape, profile and side cut (I think).

Don't understand why people have said previous years were 'catchy'. They're the identical sidecut from about '21 to present with death grip. Probably more to do with your bindings and stance. I have the '22 with union atlas pros and no twitch whatsoever.

@ could be. i don't have a good answer. was just my experience when I tried it and, for some reason, i've seen it in other reviews as well. next time i have a chance, I'm going try the merc again.

The Mercury is definitely a fun board with a lot of pop, and it has that snappy feel that some riders really enjoy. The Mega, on the other hand, is a bit more stable and damp, so it makes sense that you'd find it more suited to your style. Even though they share the same shape, profile, and sidecut, the flex patterns and overall feel can be pretty different depending on the specific design tweaks each year. If you found the Mercury catchy in the past, it might just be a matter of preference in how you like your boards to handle.

@ wise take. (still gonna give the Merc another try, of course)
