burton feelgood flying v or libtech skate banana

Posted: 09 January 2011 07:32 PM

Hi, read some of the posts here and seems like some good advise coming back on the questions.  So hopefully some of you can help.
Looking for a new board, presently on a 2008 burton troop 154.
Really liking the 152 feelgood flying v but someone has said look at the libtech.
Mostly freeriding and sometimes in icy conditions with the occasional run through the parks.  Occasional pow day when i get the chance.  Just looking for a good all rounder that will last another few years.
Was thinking the feelgood for the camber as better hold on the icy stuff, but libtech says its there too.
Anyone ridden them both or got any thoughts on them.
Know my bindings may be an issue with the feelgood, but think you can get a disc to fit my lexa bindings. If not i’ll splash out on bindings too, as no doubt would have to if i go another make from burton anyway.
any advise appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome.

The Burton Feelgood will be more freeride-oriented then a Skate Banana.  The Skate Banana is more park-oriented with it’s shaping.  Lib Tech boards that will be more freeride would pack the C2 profile.
