Right now I have a liquid force fusion 139 cm with alpha bindings. I can do wake to wake grabs, a little switch jumping, not much TS besides a TS FS 180. I can't go w2w TS yet. I'm thinking of buying a Ronix One with the One series bindings. Would this help much? If so how much would it help? Also, I'm 5'7" and weigh about 150 lbs. What length of the Ronix One board would be better for me - the 137 cm or 142 cm?

I'd go for the 137 if you are planning to use it for a long time and you're still growing, I'd go with the 142. The board probably won't help you a whole lot and bindings don't do much for you either. Work on getting edging technique down and practice some TS stuff. When you start to do some more advanced tricks, go buy the Ronix (wait until the end of next season and go find some closeout sales.. CHEAP)

if i were u i would go for it and buy the ronix one cause if u plan on progressing quickly then ull want the board, especially if ur a quick learner

By the way i am 5'7'' 170 and ride a 138 so unless u plan on growing anymore id go with the 137

Sinkoumn, the watsons full size says its to be ridden 1-2 cm smaller, the next size is a 138 so thats actually like a 139-140. Do you think the 134 is that much of a bad idea
