Nat 0 Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 my pal bought Forum's in Ochanomisu-Shinbocho-Kanda area (I don't know which shop he used... but he said it was really expensive.) He is tool, about 190cm.... so I think you are able to find one for you. Cheers P.S. Japanese people love Forum & M3, you can find these boards sooooo easy in snowboard shops.

Guest Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hi Don, I have boarded for the past two seasons at Onikoube. The board park is not bad, some decent sized one makes (but with flatish landings) and a pipe. Do you live in Miyagi now? I know a few shops selling M3 and Forum boards in the Sendai area. Drop me an email if you want any more info: martin_mckeown@hotmail.com Link to post Share on other sites
DON 0 Posted November 7, 2001 Author Share Posted November 7, 2001 thanks Martin, i think im gonna buy a Burton Rush, i can get one (2001model..(with the red/orage city graphics)) in newzealand for NZ$900....thats about 46000 yen.... rush is the wider version of the balance. but i cant decide between a 160 and a 164. see, im about 6 foot and i weight maybe 75 kilos, my old board is a 154 Option but it has a really short nose and tail so the running length is actually a little more than the rush160... cuz im into the freestyle side of boarding so i think the 164 is too long maybe ..... aww, damn, plus at the moment i can only find a 164,,, but im lookin hard. anyone got suggestions on which length? anyone riden a Burton Rush? cheers, lol cheers Link to post Share on other sites
