Hey guys, Looking to get a new (used) snowboard this year. I'm 5'10" so something around a 154-163cm is about right. Something a year or 2 old would be perfect. Let me know if you got anything. Thanks, Chad
150-160 is a big difference. I'd recommend something in the 157-160 area for freeriding and 154-157 for freestyle/park. If you're over 150lbs and 5'10" anything under 154 will probably be small for a proper stance and weight range.
hey chad, I may have just the board for you. I plan on going a different route board setup wise this year, something more park oriented than all mountain/freeride. What I have is an 05 Ride exhile JJ Thomas edition. Size=157 cm Its an incredible board, sharp edges, waxed before every ride, and has some pretty sick graphics. Pm me and we can talk price.
Fixed it. Thanks for the suggestions. Been a long time since I sized up a board. Been riding since '94. Old school! The board i've been riding for the past 4-5 years is way too short apparently but I think I chose it based on riding the little hills in the midwest and doing more freestyle stuff. I'm currently addicted to powder out west so a longer board is gonna be great. Now I am really excited about getting something different!
My buddy Matt works at Summit Snowboard & Ski (formerly the White Wolf) in Lake Elmo. He says they have a couple of last year's demo boards still. One of them is a T6, so if you don't mind a few scratches on the top sheet you can get a $700 Terje pro model for about half price.
