Getting a new board need advice
Posted: 06 February 2012 08:19 PM
Hey guys, i‘m thinking about getting a new board, been riding for about 7 years now and own a rossignol circuit board. Now i want to get my self a board in the upper echelon. what i had in mind was the rossi one magtek, but i want it in 163 and mid wide because i have shoe size 12, but they only have it in size 161 in mid wide. So now i‘m thinking about the Travis rice pro board. I‘m 6‘1, 190 pounds, 185 cm, 87 kg. I´m mostly a free rider ,not much in the park or on the rails, but maybe i‘ll do more of that in the future. I consider myself an advanced rider, can go down any slope the mountain has to offer and love riding powder and off road. Which board would you recommend for me, and is there a big difference between these 2 boards. Ps do you think that shoe size 12 is to big for the Travis rice pro 161.5 / 164.5 board, not sure which size to get.

Yeah, a us size 12, europe size 46. I think i’m leaning more towards the lib tech board, going to get in 161, only concern is the boot might be to big, what do you think?

US 12 should be ok on both the 161.5 and 164.5… a 26.5cm waist would be ideal but there’s enough width there unless you have a super narrow stance or really shallow angles. regarding the length you should go for. The 164.5 will be insane for freeriding, but if you want to get into the park then the 161.5 is probably going to be a little easier to shred. If you want to go more park focused still you might like the 159W Attack Banana, but for all-mountain riding I’m sure the aggresive nature of the Rice will be more enjoyable.
