looking for new board
« on: January 25, 2009, 09:57:49 PM »
I have a 155 burton blunt
it's a good board but i'm starting to lean more towards the park
i need something smaller with little more flex
don't wont to but i'm probably going to buy one online

Sure, we can give you suggestions.  First things first though.  What's your ability, height, weight, boot size, gender?

idk between intermediate and expert but far from being sponsored
been boarding for awhile can almost land inverted 540 if that helps
I'm about six foot, where size 10 1/2, and 160 pounds male
I know 155 supposedly the right size but used my friends 152 ride and liked the feel
might even go smaller
used to live couple hours from Colorado so there was always fresh powder
now I’m stationed in Illinois and their only hill is all ice
...wont have to worry about sinking in anywhere

I dont know dude.  A 155 Blunt is a nice rig for you IMO.

The other one that comes to mind is
Forum Recon Midwide Snowboard 153

look at frosty pimpin the forums! welcome to the dark side ;)

i have a recon, i'm 5'8 148 10 1/2  and i ride a 146 on the recon.
a 152/3 is a good midrange compliment. being almost 6ft dont
go lower than a 148. trust me, my 146 is sloooooooow. and its
so short it throws off having a super flexible board (the recon
is a flex..3?)
other option is a forum manual (all manufacturers will have a board
like this one..its the rail killing board). my  manual is a 156, but thats
because i like the superflex of it. its a flex 2 i think.

btw, both of these boards are available in last years model on ebay
for nothing...9 times outta 10 brand new still in the forum bag.
and the only difference between last years model and this years model
is, well to me, last years models graphics look sooo much cleaner.

happy hunting!

Wow, that's tough love there.  Just what I need  :?

Well, I don't ride lunch trays so I really can't give any more than suggesting the Recon.  It is a nice midwide jibber stick.  Being 6 ft I wouldn't suggest going under 148cm length.

Good luck!
