surfinsmiley Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hey Team, I`m getting into my second year on plates and I`m now at the level where I can carve the easier runs to shreds. I`m always practising the different types of turns and transitions. The steeps and heavily bumped up snow is still beyond me and I end up skidding more than carving. I`m riding a Tanker 200 and an LSD 164. Love them both but I`m feeling like they both want to over turn when I push them at the speeds I want to carve at. ie. the arc is just to tight for me if I try to really angulate the board..... So, I`m looking at the Nidecker 177 from05/06 that our shop has ex demo models of for about $350US. What do you think? My first Alpine Board.... I`m 77-79kgs. Boots 29.5 mondo Head stratos pros. It has a 195mm waist.... Thanks in advance.:) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfinsmiley Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 My current boards have 40 and 50mm of setback so I don`t know any different......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 smooth and stable ride... not a lot of pop... does have limits if you push it hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
