I am new to forum and looking to update my ancient equipment and I am looking for suggestions on equipment. Tom Palka has been very helpful and suggested I get on BOL. Here are my stats/preferences;
6'4"
210lbs
10.5 boot size
48 degree front/39 rear
Burton Ibex-like plates
Burton MGX boots
Craig Kelly Screaming Tree, 168cm/24cm waist
been riding for 25 years of which last 15 years in hard boots
Like flexible boards, bindings and boot set up (i just demoed Burton Vapor and did not like)
All mountain rider on east coast so need a board for groomers, ice, crud, small bumps, riding fakie, short fast runs but also slow riding with kids
Very interested in Prior 4WD and Donek Axxess so would appreciate any color on differences in these two boards. Also trying to digest metal vs. fiberglass. Also would enterain other board suggestions.
Trying to decide between Cateks, TD3, Sidewinders...looking for pros and cons and flexibility comparisons
Boots - probably leaning towards Head or Deeluxe but open
Very intersted in buying used all mountain board with born on date in last few years.
Thanks
