really a difference in M7 vs BWP

[pinkkid]

will someone riding M7's notice any difference if they swith to the BWP's??? or even the Revolts???

I don't know about the BWP's, but you will feel a pretty big performance gap on the Revolts. I used to ride M7's and upgraded to the EMP's (identical to the trees) last season. They are quite a bit wider, and longer so you have more stability on landings and more float in powder. Since they're a little longer, you also have a more effective edge because it's longer which means better carving and more hold on ice.

Thank you, that sounds good and true! Now, how about switching to 90cm's?????

[pinkkid]

this would be the board for me:
Length: 92-96
Width(tip/waist/tail): 14.0-14.5/10.0-11.0/14.0-14.5
Turning Radius: 490-560
Weight: 4-6lbs
Great flex!!
Tip height (tip/tail): 4.5-5.0/4.5-5.0
Graphics: think Roxy stuff, anything pinks with browns & purples, blues & greens; Hibiscus and other cool fun stuff.
Bottom cool Graphics a must but need to keep the lighter background or black!
then the basics of course;
Sintered
Sidewall
4 hole
wood core
metal bindings

all mountain board for me and my stats and riding styles and look.

Basically, this would be a first skiboard designed for the average girl skiboarder.

That's an oddly specific description, it sounds like you're making a request.... ;) :D

Well, I have put ranges in my specs, and they seem logical, but I am no board maker and have no idea of the technical stuff but it just seems like there is no board out there in these specific ranges, not sure why maybe all the ratios don't mix well. Greco, hope your reading this, but someone needs to make skiboards for girls.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! u b funny.
as for the girl aspect... main 'girl' thing is certainly the graphics and colors, seriousy if Roxy would step up! But the board length, width and radius and even flex is what I'm looking at for us girls as well as the basics(wood sintered etc).
I'm sure I'll get slammed by a girl pro rider, oh well I can take it. :0)

Part of the reason why there aren't any boards in that size are because this is the first year we've had such wide boards, so they were a bit of an experiment. On top of that, skiboarding is a relatively small industry, so G putting out 10 models this year is pretty amazing. I'm sure he'd make every possible combination if the money were there, but as we've seen from all the companies to die, it's hard to stay alive in the industry.

Very true, I hear ya on that, thank you!!
If I was new and never rode a skiboard, I cn honestly say I'd have no problems at all with these great board choices and probably get the Tansho's. But, I have been riding the out of business Canon M7's 99cm for 4 years now and need something new and better. My spouse has the out of business Fischer Web XXL's, at least my brother has SnowJams. :-)
