revolt or bwp!!!

[Ted]

i have been trying for weeks to figure out which one to get im 6 feet tall and about 145 pounds these will be my first boards and i will be using snowjam extreme II bindings, my favorite thing to do on the mountains is going through glades but i am also a huge fan of going big on jumps, im not into rails that much but i would always want to leave the option open in case i decide to experiment, the reason i cant decide is that i think if i go with the revolts they will be too long and it wont really feel like skiboarding anymore but on the other hand the increased stability for big jumps will be better over the bwps, plus i like the bwp graphics better.

thanks in advance for your help

don't worry about losing the skiboard feel at 105, it's still there, in spades.

thanks greco, and dont i wish getting both was an option

G's absolutely right. I ride EMP's, which are the same as the Revolts, and they tear through tight glades like it's nothing. I have taken everything from cleared out glades that most people could handle up to double black steeps without any trees removed, and they never lost that skiboard feel. They also feel great on the jumps as well (at least as hard as I've pushed em in the park. I kinda suck when it comes to park riding).

I own both and the feel is so similiar. 105s feel a bit heavier and lands the jumps a bit better due to the wider tip/tail.

But as an all around board the BWP is the way to go. I am 6'0 200lbs and enjoy the feel of the BWPs more on the jumps and trails. I bought the EMPs first, thinking exactly like you did. Based on my height/weight. Then bought the BWPs and turned the EMPs into wrecking boards.

Overall the feeling is slightly different. But if you want the overall goodness Id go BWP.
You don't lose the feel either way you go.

Here is one of the best pics for showing sizes.

The base just sells the BWP.......

Greco, anyway you can get a similiar pic but one atop the other??.
Or with all the boards directly side by side??
