AK 77 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 that was a bargain, would have bought the 163.. if you miss a definate buy are you somehow richer??? i'm looking for a silver lining... I already have 4 boards, so i shouldn't really, they are 153, 154, 158 and 160, so a real freeride stick would complete the set. There is a 165 Albin Snowboards 'Extension' on Blue Tomato and another Austrian shop for about 300 euros, which has a 24.7 waist (same as all my shorter boards, which would be sick, but don't really want to rack up more debt on my creadit card. It's the old NEED versus WANT question... !?? Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 i'd like to start a petition for bushy to move further north Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 yep, exactly my problems there AK! More debt on the credit card. And need vs want... Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Description: If you need one board to ride hard all over the mountain, look no further than the Nitro Suprateam Snowboard. A favorite of Nitro team riders like Lukas Huffman and Shin Campos, this board can tear it up from tabletop to cliff drop. The Suprateam has carbon and Dyneema-reinforced wood core to give you just the right amount of flex and lots of pop. A progressive sidecut gives you incredible control whether your straightlining a backcountry booter or linking tight turns in the trees. sell the forum for at least a man, and you've got a 2 man board for brand new!

bushpig 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ok, assuming I did, who would buy the forum?? It's at least 4 or 5 years old now (there maybe my reason to get a new one! ) Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 oh well bushy. You'll be able to live vicariously through me when I ride mine over new years Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 mate, I'm an easy sell once I get tempted by something I want... Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 it is a sick board... unless you spend all your time hiking pow, you'll end up riding it much more often than the malolo, and a more aggressive board helps sharpen your riding, as you can't ride them so sloppily... (just to be unhelpful and tempt you some more!!) Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 u should have got one too AK. Can't be going bc on a Raven (pipe board!). this would have fit the bill Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 bushy, do what ft said and buy 2. a 155 as the second and sell it on yahoo for 5 bills. that will cancel out the first board and it will be free! (plus shipping doesn't change I think so you'll get it for 30$ shipping per board) Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Raven = pipe board = stiff, sharp and good edge hold Suprateam = big mountain freestyle?? = same qualities, just more directional shape/stance - I like being able to ride/land switch in pow without worrying about tail sink instand flip! Wanna sell me your Frontier?? Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Ohhhh AK dirty words NEED and WANT... i really really want some other skis, and kinda need them, but damn money money money Hmmm sorry can't join into your board discussion have no idea, but ALLIAN boards look quite sick but yep i have no idea! I AM going to buy something today though... tell you later once the deal is done! Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 did they have ALLIANs on here today??? t*tw*nk. Hopefully like 152 or something i don't want! EBC what are you going to buy today??? painkillers? dignity? inflatable j-boy skier boy? hee hee. Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 it will take them a while (relativiely) to sell the 155s, not enough midget freeriders or hardcore girls out there... Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 How tall a person would ride the 155?? Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 165cm to 175cm I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 yaaa ha ha ha ohhh it's better than your cheeky suggestions AK... tell ya later. ahhh so ALLIAN boards are cool then? sit back down, they were not on sac today, i was just saying they look sick, but don't ask me about snowboards. the size thing - this is what i love about being a girl, the deals are all on sizes the boys don't want, so easy for me to pick up 172cm prophets etc woo sweeet!

AK 77 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 well.... about 168.5cm tall, brown hair, blue socks and a soft spot for fried breakfasts. i dunno... i'm only 173 (5'8 and 3/4 in real money) and i'd ride the 157 as an all-round park/mountain board, or the 160 or 163 as free-ride boards... you can ride boards 'too short' or 'too long' but it depends on your riding style and the boards character - this one is a bit too freeride/directional to be a good board to ride 'too small' i guess, as if you are riding a 155 when your general board would be a 157, then you are going to want something to piss around on and hit rails or fun little jumps, so the freeride abilty of this stick would be wasted... unless you are 5'6 or so, and light. bet that makes no sense. lets make fun of EBC instead.
