line 82 cm too short?

[skhan90]

hi im like almost 6 ft... is an 84 cm board too short for me? or is that ok? also can someone give me info on these bindings LINE FF CAM?.

[Jeff Miles]

a bit to short ..im 6 foot and ride 99.9 go for tha size down to 95cm..and also i believe (not quite sure) line ff cam are made of aluminum..so it should hold out okay

[Greco]

it all depends on how you skiboard or how you want to skiboard plus your height and experience. you CAN use any size you want however when you go shorter like 82cm you're going to have a bit more trouble with holding an edge while going fast and carving, plus in powder/crud you're more likely to dip your tips in. but, shorter boards will allow for maneuverability and control. since your 6 feet tall if you are an experienced skier, like going fast, hitting jumps and/or riding in powder filled trees then go with 97's, 99's, 105's or 110's. our new site will be launching in the next week or so and when it does you'll have more of these sized board options then ever before.

I haven't had very good experience with the FF cams. They didn't seem to fit my boots well and be cause of the clip and slot adjustment they were always too tight or a little loose.

[skhan90]

hey so, greco do you think 97 would be ok.. i am not a fan of really long skis.... and also when i mean almost 6ft that doesnt mean that i am 6ft tall... haha im like around there 5.11 or taller. but with skiboards that are size 97cm will i have good controll with them? Why wont i have good control with 90 cm? yeah so i am looking to go fast, hit jumps.. and carve like crazy but i also want to be able to control my skis. hey so the new site will have new boards huh?


also i think im goin to look for skiboards around 94-97 cm? i that ok for my height

[Greco]

shorter boards have less edge making contact with the snow so when you're going really fast and applying a lot of pressure to your edges while carving the 90's will "chatter" or lose their edge before say 99's.

our new site will hopefully (waiting on epic) have pictures of all new boards, prices and the option to pre order. along with a new, improved shopping cart and front page.

My Cams broke after one season. The adjustors on them jammed a lot and eventually just started slipping out while riding.

[Greco]

cam's are great for people who have to adjust their bindings a lot for different boots (tool less adjusting). Other than that it's best to go with the FF Pro, Bombers or Extremes.

[skhan90]

so what size do u prefer for me? 97,94?

[Greco]

yeah so i am looking to go fast, hit jumps.. and carve like crazy but i also want to be able to control my skis.

prolly 97 or 99 or even 105 or 110. it's up to you.

[skhan90]

hmm i think im gonna go wiht 94-97. so when will the new site be done eh? also there are gonna be new skis on the site right?

but 94 to 97 range cm will be idle for terrain park right? I am a big fan of jumps and half pipes.

and what size skiboards do you use? Greco?

[Tiffy]

i cant wait for the new site to get up and running, im going away mid january and i have a set of neal lyons pros that i gonna ride but i also want a pair of 110s so i can beat all my skiing mates down the slope. Greco how are things going with the release dates, i know there are usually delays when the new skiboards come out but im hoping i can get a set of 110s before i go on the 14th of january.

[Greco]

i'm working on the site right now, trying to get it ready for either early next week.

94-97 should be good for you and yeah ideal for park riding. i used 99's, 110's and will try the 105's as soon as they are ready. i'm still looking for the ideal size for me.

we expect all the boards to arrive in December at various times, hopefully there will be no delays and if there aren't january 14th should be no problem.

[Tiffy]

nice one, i cant wait to see the new boards and get my hands on some the only dilemma i have now is do i still keep my neal lyons pro with sprice risers and buy another set of bindings or buy some bombers and put them on the canons and put the spruce risers on the new boards i buy. or do i sell the canon nl pro and have just one set of skiboards.

[Greco]

what a sweet problem to have. this is going to be a great year for core skiboarding!!!!

g

[bloodshot]

will there be new clothing added to the site? i want a sbol hoodie that you guys were talking about last season.

[Greco]

not right away. after i finish the site i'm going to start working on the sbol hoodie and some other stuff. should be a couple weeks after the site is done.

g

[skhan90]

ahhah this is gonan suck for me...cuz i need a pair of skiboards in like 30 days which means i wont be able to cheak out the new skis....o well...

[Greco]

Hey Greco... have you checked out the new loken boards yet?
I looked at them and immediately fell in love with their looks.
What's you opinion?
Ian

[Greco]

they look great. i have to reserve my opinion until i hold/ride them though. looks aren't everything as we all learned last season.
