 Posted: Sep 17, 2004 2:23 pm Post subject: Board suggestions |
 |
|
| Hi I'm 6'2 180 pounds and lookign for a new board. I'm looking for a board that will be loose when flat, hard and fast on edge, and have smooth pop. I am leaning more towards a continous or blended 3 stage rocker. I was looking at the LF Team, Balance, Trip, and Litmus and GB Gonzalez and was wondering if any of those met that criteria. Also, would you recommend other boards from the ones I listed? Thanks. |

hyperrider,
so that there post is back at the top of the list again. I have seen some do it to bring up there post count. wtf.
WhirlyBird5,
I have a nelson 141, I have not been out on it yet but have been told from Greg himself that it is loose on the flats for serfice tricks and cuts fast with big pop. He also inform me you need to cut with h/t and not turing the board.

hey the team and the balance meet everything you are looking for in a board however the team board is a continuous rocker and the balance is a subtle 3-stage. i would look at either the 139 or the 143 with your size. i have rode both boards and i have been ridding the 05 team 139 for about a month now it is sick and i rode the balance all summer hope i helped a little
