Need good quality 27.5. Need good clip in bindings.

If you need to sell the head 27.5, I am looking to buy

Hi, I'll take it. I am travelling in Italy and will check the thread in a few hours. It will ship to New Jersey.

Yes, please let us know if it's still for sale

I will post in the looking to buy section. I just need to check his foot size later today. He will probably be a 27.5.

I have a similar post on the Carver Forum. I am looking for advice. My son is 14, weighs 130 and is about 5'9''. He races well on his 156 Concept, but his coaches now suggest Alpine. He does both S and GS. He is a very good rider agressive rider. I got some much appreciated advice from the nice people at YYZCanuck, but I have a little more time and thought an other opinion or 2 couldn't hurt. It seems I am leaning toward the Danek Pilot. I don't kow how he will take to the sport, plus he will grow, so am assuming he will need another board next year. So that's the price range I am in, for new or used. Any suggestions would be helpful. For his size, some are suggesting a slalom board, but it sounds to me like a "general racer" would be better. Please help with size. A 168 was suggested, and I don't know about the sport, it just sounds like a big change from 156, especially for slalom. Also, he will probably only get about 5 days to train on the board and I would like to know if you think he will feel comfortable enough to use it for racing after the 5 days. Thank you

My son is 14, weighs 130 and is abount 5'9". He has been racing well on his Ride Concept, and his coaches have suggested alpine equipment. He does both S and GS. I have done a little research, but as you all know access to information and gear is a little tough. I don't know much. I would really appreciate some guidence. Here is what I know so far. I could go to ChrisKlug.com and get an older new Burton board for $299, but the bindings may be hard to find (although I did see a few on this site that I think would be fine). Or I could get a new Donek Pilot with bindings. It's a little more expensive, but the resale would be OK after he grows more. The graphics are a little juvenile; I don't know if that means the board is of lower quality. I doubt it, just want to check. Or I can just look for used stuff here. One imortant question has to do with size. He rides a 156 now. Someone very nice and knowledgeable suggested a 168. It seems like a big increase to me, especially for a slalom course. I am just asking for more opinions. Also, his next races are in April, and I am estimating he will have about 5 days on this board. Is that enough time to get comfortable enough to use in races?
