Canon Neal Lyons or Groove BG Pros

[bailey]

Im having trouble deciding what one to get... They both seem to be amazing boards and they would both be perfect for me.. but i cant decide. any help is appreacheated

[J.D.]

Are the Neal Lyons out yet? so far I've just seen the grafix...the boards r gonna look a lot like m7s I guess but I'd like to see them anyhow. Hopefully one of my local mts.'s pro shops will demo them.
EDIT**: Just realized my post was useless to the topic...if they're both perfect for you, thats a nice problem to have, eh? I always throw in with Groove cause its what I ride (and they r awesome), but I dont see how you can go wrong.

what do you like most about your grooves?

[J.D.]

What's not to like? They're great at everything I do. They fly through powder far better than any other boards I've owned, they get good speed, and the stability is awesome...I can't count the times I thought I was gonna bail for sure and pulled it out. I don't kno about rails cause I don't use them for rails (I don't want to wreck them so I use my old salomons). The only downsides would be that the grafix are a bit plain... not that I care cause it's not like I'm mounting them in my living room...and I guess the bindings could be bombers or those new revolutionx's. But still, the X1s have never given me any trouble. Of course these are the only GOOD skiboards I've had, cause I started with Salomons (didn't know any better), then bought Kneissel Pipers (for really cheap, couldn't pass it up). There's obviously no comparison between the quality. Still, maybe somebody who's ridden both would be able to compare them better as I've never even seen M7s. Anyways I love these boards. I have way more confidence and I'm going bigger since I got them (course that's also cause im better than b4). The boards may not make the rider, but these ones sure as hell help.

thanks a lot for your help man

I've ridden many boards in my time and the M7 is by far the best skiboard design ever (aside from some bad choices of manufacturers back in da day). In assuming that the NLyons pro is a higher grade M7, I think the choice is clear. But, you're right, I don't think you can really go wrong with either choice.

Has anyone broken BG pros? like neal said cuz of past manufactures m7 were weak and broke almost every time you landed hard.

[Greco]

I think OG Golden Boy is sayin that in the past there were problems (some m7 with flames) but now shit is solid.
