yes another first board thread

[weatherman]

Hey guys

Im looking into getting some decent boards for next season (butternut has less snow by the day), and i was wondering if you guys had any recomandations. Im 5'6" and 145lbs.

I do both trail and park so iIwas looking into the revolt "trees" or the tanshos.

The only board ive riden in the past is the head big easy 94cm with release bindings.
I was wondering if anyone had recomendations.

p.s. i hope i posted this in the right spot? i wasnt sure i should post it in the gear section

what riding will you be doing mainly? or will you be doing an even spread of things?

Because of height I think you would probably be best on some BWPs and because you wanna go into the park a fair amount by the sounds of it...

also there is more chance of injury for you on revolts (with non-release) as you would be under the recommended height (doesnt stop lots of people though)

if you want more speed and stability and general all mountain goodness go revolts

if you want more nimbleness and ability in the park go BWPs

however because of your height and weight you should still get pretty good performance outta tha BWPs speed wise..

#1 Bwps
#2 Revolts/tanshos (tanshos are awsome fun just ask manlenium)


hope this helps

Sub 100!!!

I would recommend some 98s. You will get what you want in the park and overall hill performance. If you want a slighty smaller inline/hockey feel go with Tanshos.:D

Tanshos are a blast! :D

BWP's for you weatherman, otherwise the Tansho's. But BWP's since you say you like the parks too, wonderful flex for jumps and rails and landings!!!!!! BUT, the Tansho's are pure fun!
