|

I currently am riding a Ride Fleetwood, and looking for a more freestyle board. I have been looking at three different boards: Ride DH, Nitro Team, and K2 Titan. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. _________________ Nick Oliver |

Yah those are the three, I'm looking at. I just dont know too much about forum. I've always heard they are good though. I really don't know too much about Nitro either, but if anyone has any information on them that would be great. _________________ Nick Oliver |

noliver, yeh forum are good as!!, i could help you out if you wanted a forum board. but the 3 boards i dont know to much about. i used to have a nitro and that crapped out after 2 seasons so ive gone right off them, ive never ridden a ride or a k2...but i would go for a ride rather than k2 but thats my opinion, good luck _________________ eNMesh clothing

I like the DH alot. Hebbel and Mathes are two of the world's greatest riders, and they love it... Uhh, I had a Nitro a while ago and liked it quite a bit, but then sold it and it broke the next day. I think they aren't super durable but ride good. Aaand I would stay away from K2, never had good experiences with that. Like Dragon hinted at, there are lots of other sick companies to check out. _________________ Go Cougs! |

What boards from Capita and Forum are good freestyle boards, and what do I need to do about riding a narrow board with a size 12 shoe. _________________ Nick Oliver |

be careful with Forum. If you can get one for cheap go for it, but I have heard most of their stuff is pretty poor quality. I personally like Option and you can never go wrong with a Burton. |

I think I have broken at least 1 burton board every season for the last 6 seasons....but at least they warranty it every time
The season before that I broke 6 K2's in one season.
My unity has held up nicely for 3 seasons now....I am pretty sold on their quality if you are looking for a durable board. |
