so boardsforless fell through

[joshington]

i got an email saying that they "tried to email me a few times to tell me they sold out". they credited my card, at least they let me know. :/

so i want to spend less than $150 if possible.... i'm looking at the 05 snowjam 75's on this site. i just wonder if those are too short to have maximum useability throughout the mountain. from reading it sounds like more surface area = more possibilities outside of the park. so i'm trying to find something longer (99? 110? 120?) but don't see much for that price range.

what do you think of the snowjam 75s? will they work out? should i look at something else?

i'm going to slow down my impulse buying nature this time. haha

hey joshington,

when i started skiboarding back in '96 it was on 76cm boards because thats all there was, i'm 6'1". i had a great time, super maneuverable but just know you won't be able to hold and edge at any speeds and they will be more work to stay afloat in powder. that's the biggest downside to shorter boards but you can still have a lot of fun on them. at least you're going wide. i'd rather have short, wide boards then long, narrow ones.

Hey Joshington.

I don't want to take any sales away from Greco, but I've got a set of 85cm Dynastar Alphabet Twinboards for sale. They are in really good shape. I could let you have them for $75 plus shipping.

Take a look at this thread.
