Dan- Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Custom. Everything I've heard about the seven is bad. I rode a custom for awhile. Liked it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ectobar Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm gonna be rolling around on a 168 rockered beast this year. I'm 150lbs. Why? I rode a rockered 157 last year. I'm about 175lbs. It was awesome for sure, but I think it was a bit much. Prob going to go back down to 154 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob going to go back down to 154 this year. For shits and giggles. I rode a 162 rockered rome notch last year for awhile until i broke it in Utah, and i my everyday board was a 157 GNU riders choice. Big boards are fun as hell to ride.

TT C6 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I agree that the custom is a good choice. For shits and giggles. I rode a 162 rockered rome notch last year for awhile until i broke it in Utah, and i my everyday board was a 157 GNU riders choice. Big boards are fun as hell to ride. I like riding a big board. They are fast and give me a lot of confidence on bigger jumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob going to go back down to 154 this year. Rockered boards already ride way shorter then they are, and you think a 157 was to much? Riding a 154 is going to be like riding a 150 straight midget status. I agree that the custom is a good choice. I like riding a big board. They are fast and give me a lot of confidence on bigger jumps. Exactly, fast and stable is kind of what i was getting at. Especially when your trying to keep up with skiers riding sticks 20-30cm's larger then your board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the pokies I spend a good amount of time 'attempting' to hit some rails, and those couple extra cm's are really noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeless Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) It's all about girth, not length. Well mine's about 24cm wide between my feet...... to add to the original post, Sierra snowboards have some great deals on last years custom and custom x, not to mention a whole load of other brands.
