utahcarver Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 The problem I always have when I go into any boardshop and looking at the latest/greatest boards is that most all of them have a linguini-soft flex (and are 159cm and shorter). I realize that part of the problem is that I'm shopping at a snowboard shop for a board that I can ride plates on instead of buying a Donek, Prior, Coiler, or perhaps, a Tanker online. But, are there currently any twin-tip boards being produced (by manufacturers who advertise in TWS, for instance) which have moderately to high stiff flex and come in 168cm and above lengths? I don't want to buy a board that's going to fold in half when I try to carve with it. Anybody out there riding a stiff twin-tip from Ride, Forum, Burton, etc.? I don't have a problem waiting for a Donek, etc. if there isn't a board such as I have described available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I use softer burton plates on a Ride Timeless 167 sometimes. Works relatively well, cept it feels like it takes forever to go from edge to edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
