  2. Hi,

    i wanted to see people's opinions on plates, and I don't mean your plates that you eat off. I have just brought a Kessler 168 which came with a Kessler plate, I wanted to see people's ideas on riding with and without the plate, how IT changes the board, I am longer racing and have not don for ten years, I have had a six year break from the industry and am now looking at getting back into riding again,

  3. Hi,

    I was just wondering what peoples opinions are on which is the better ride, Kessler 168 vs SG 175, I have noticed one various forums people voting SG as the best boards available, although alot of the races are being won on Kesslers, any opinions on the pros and cons of either brand

  4. Hey, I started running sleds back in 95 as I can't ski, I was the first person in Australia to do and the reason it went so well was a snowboarder is in the perfect stance to side slip down the hill especially with the use of hard boots giving extra power and all the power going into one edge,

  5.  More forgiving you can relax knowing the board doesn't surprise you as often as an all glass board will. Not a decline in quality but a definite decline in the " oh shit now I'm in trouble feeling. Like the change skis have undergone in the last few years you will appreciate the difference in titinal vs glass having mastered the glass first. Once you start on the titinal you will only want to go back to glass to relive your youth and to scare yourself. 

    Cool, can't wait to try, if I wanna scare myself I'll take out the Simms 197!!

  6. Your jumping the shark going from a relatively stiff glass board to a titinal build. Have you been able to try a titinal  board. They are alot different. I have a186 PR Coiler and had a 173 AM made. Easier to ride more damp and forgiving. I'm about your weight .

    Sorry not sure if I understand, having never ridden titanal board are you say easier to ride so go shorter or stay longer?

  7. I'm of similar build as OP and can make a pretzel out of 171.

    Maybe the 168 would be the right product? Everyone claims it's stiffer then 171 and it's an easily flickable size for those crowded days in Euro resorts.

    Hey Blue B, bit confused as you say you have no problem with the 171, then why go down to 168?

  8. After taking a long break from riding, i have decided to get back into it, I used to be an advanced rider but right now I would say intermediate due to the lack of time on the hill, my previous board was a Coiler Pure Race 184, with a 8.4 stiffness, I am 183cm tall and weigh 80kg, I think 180 pounds.

    I am living in Europe so going for Kessler and was thinking about 180 but now wondering if 171 might be better, I won't be bashing gates just carving up the hill and laying it over as much as possible.

    Any advice would be great.
