100% agreed F2 is well known in the USA but not as common as in Europe. See the thread below.

Also on the forum there have been many similar questions with pages of answers and suggestions. You can search on various theme around new, newby, starter etc Any decision you make should take your expectations into account. It will be important to know what your typical terrain will be like. If you have narrow groomers, a shorter side cut radius (SCR) may be more practical than longer. If you intend to use your board on various parts of the mountain, using a more versatile free board will probably be more practical than a race specific board. Many start off with a single compromise board that provide a medium SCR and softer flex allowing for general carving on various parts of the mountain. Once you have decided what you prefer and want to spend more money on, the second hand market for boards is pretty robust and you should be able to resell well looked after boards pretty easily. Last point: the shorter the side cut radius, the narrower the carve tends to be, all other things being equal, but you need to work harder as there are more turns in the same distance. My 2 cents suggestion would be to look for a board of about 170 length and SCR about 12, but there are way more qualified people here to better advise you then me This was my own thread 4 years ago which had some great advice in it:

Thanks Corey, great idea!

Started with a different approach until I saw Wolf's design. Basic construction completed, waiting for the rubber padding.

@bc1 @dredman apologies, I am not sure why I did not respond to either of your comments I appreciate both of them.

SOUTH Efrican attendance confirmed

Hey Currently finalizing travel arrangements. Will arrive in Kalispell from Boston, early afternoon on Sunday 30 Jan, leaving early morning (o dark hundred) on the 5th, after stopping over at Whitefish after MCC. Happy to explore sharing a vehicle and accommodation. Booking a single room in one of the inns in the meanwhile. Brian

Was that you doing da loop?

Thanx I never saw this before looks like they were having fun, no holds barred!

Too much starving

Arrived within 2 days of deal completion, in better condition than advertised. Buy with confidence from @gunslinger65

Somebody has already started carving.

Very surprised that this is still here!

I recently bought a truck with a 67” bed. In photos I have seen members with a bed rack for their boards. My 185 is too long to fit straight in and was wondering if anyone has come up with some practical designs for a truck bed rack for longer boards?

This is still on my to do list but high level details: factory five mark 4 roadster Tremec 600 transmission 347 stroker crate engine Yes

Build an AC Cobra from scratch. Project I am hoping to share with my dad.

Wow!!

Curious to know why you are selling it?

ouch!! that video was too painful to watch, real pain there for many!

Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere in this little old thread ... how is it that you have fresh groom ... every day, and no one is carving, or even just skiing, it up? envious

Thank you. However this only works if you are proactive about the topic. All of the videos were moved before actions like this were possible and i did not think it was necessary when everything was in a single section. Your advice is however valid and I appreciate this. It was not my intent to complain here.

Thank you. One of the downsides of the thread consolidation is the loss of easy access to videos, especially if you don't know the name or reference to them. What was once a common go to location for me is now lost in the noise

I will say that I have been leery of posting vids (the ego rebels at exposing oneself) but I have found the feedback loop to be both positive and helpful. damned ego!
