How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Nidecker Escape uses a directional shape while the Nidecker Micron Merc Kids ' is twin. The Nidecker Escape has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nidecker Micron Merc Kids ' uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Nidecker Escape is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Nidecker Escape targets advanced riders while the Nidecker Micron Merc Kids ' is aimed at intermediate riders.

Nidecker Escape
Nidecker’s all-mountain Escape. Used supply is thinner than the Play or Sensor. Escape Plus and split listings are different buys; inspect the base and edges, and do not pay Escape money for a Play.
