Riding Roam as Main Board

Hey,

I started to ride my roam as my main board and i was wondering if it would influence my riding more.

Would I progress better riding a traditional board and then just mess around on the roam becuase I'm just as good on the roam.

My regular board is a LF Team 139 and I ride the 144 Roam

Thanks,
Broc

my covenant doesn't seem to pop as well as my motive, and they're both continuous rockers. So I would think if you can throw all the tricks on the roam, they would be easier on the team. and like SouthWaker said...if the shoe fits.

I ride the roam as a main board, i went back and tried to ride other boards. and i hated it.

I tried riding a absolute and harris hated the rides of them after the roam.

But i think it has made my riding better.

bonsaitree, Just out of curiousity, why did you spend the extra $80 for the same board?

LFPIMP, I didnt. I bought the covenant in the classifieds from one of the guys here. I paid 200 shipped, so I only paid 20$ more than what the roam would have cost me on wakeside.com and 45$ less than msrp.

So are you guys doing spins and inverts on the roam? What's it like for going wake to wake?
