Flex Help

Posted: 26 August 2012 09:52 PM

Hey guys, I’m looking into buying a new board for the season and am looking for some help on which felx to look for. I currently have a Morrow Radium 151cm board as my first beginner’s board. My skills have improved since I bought it so I’m lloking at more advanced boards. Right now I’m interested in the Forum Destroyer Chillydog 152cm, with a Forum flex rating of 5, and the Forum Youngblood 152cm with a Forum flex rating of 4. I spend a good amount of time in the park but also like to freeriding down the mountain. I can’t find anywhere what the flex rating for the Morrow Radium is, so I was wondering if anyone would know which flex would be best for me, the 5 on the Destroyer or the 4 of the Youngblood. Also, how flexy is the Morrow Radium compared to the other 2 boards? Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks.

If you want to focus your riding more towards the park then the softer flex would be advantagous. If however you ride the park but most of your time on a board is spent blasting the groomers then you’d probably be better-off on the firmer flex of the Destroyer.
