Burton TWC standard / ride manic….decisions decisions!

Posted: 28 February 2011 02:17 PM

So I’m thinkin bout buying a board…and I came down to 2 choices…

2011 burton twc standard 154 or 157 with burton cartel bindings
Or
2011 ride manic 155 with ride ex bindings

Any1 got any opinions?? I’m not sure if I should get the 154cm or 157 cm for the twc

I’m 5’10 155lbs size 9 boot….do u think the 154 would be too small??

A little help please…I’ve been tryin to figure this out for a while and I’m just new so board size is really confusing me…

Go for the 157, it’s a more versatile length that won’t constrict you to riding park, it’ll perform out of the park as well, more importantly you shouldn’t sink in any pow.

Thank you rich…I’m gonna go with the 157….do u think the Burton TWC Standard is a decent board to start with?? I can get a good deal on it…around $200 or u think I should spend a little more $ and go with either the Ride Manic/K2 Raygun or the Arbor Formula??

$200 for a fairly entry level board is a good deal, I wouldn’t threat about it too much. Take the plunge, enjoy the board and when you come to buying your next deck you can spend a little bit more and choose something that fits the kind of riding you’re swaying too. It’s possible to consider your purchase too thoroughly, as long as you are in the correct ball-park and the board isn’t a renowned dud you’ll have a great time on yor new board.
