Jamie Lynn or TRS over YES 156.5 ?

Hey , I’m thinking about maybe buying a Lib over a YES 156.5 . I’m use to my old uninc and this years i rode the Flying-v which i liked but find it a little to soft for my needs so i though that the YES would be a good compromise but then feel in love with LIB TECH.
I only heard good thing about the TRS and the Jamie Lynn, i like the fact that these boards are hand made , eco , blablabla….

Any tough? Comments?

Hi Matoo,

If you like the flying V and the way the majority of the flex comes from between the feet then you’ll probably prefer the Lib Tech TRS or Jamie Lynn. The Magnetraction edges are a nice little bonus.

The Yes boards use Camrock with has traditional camber between the feet, you get the firm camber feeling when you’re carving because the majority of flex comes from the nose and tail.

They both feel different to camber and more different to each other than they are to camber. For carving they both work fine, personally I prefer rocker between the feet and camber at the nose and tail for carving, but on jumps and for riding swith I prefer Camrock/AmpTek.

As far as the spefics go, I’m afraid I haven’t ridden either the Jamie Lynn or TRS, but I’ve ridden the Travis Rice and that’s a little firmer flexing than the Burton. Got to love Jamie Lynns graphics!
