skategoat Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm looking for a Xmas gift for a kid who weighs 140lbs and is 5'8". Pretty strong rider. He rides hard boots but needs a softie setup for jibbing with his friends. Weight ranges on web sites are just about useless. I was thinking 155cm. What do you think?

b0ardski Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 probebly a good length. If he/she is a good hard boot rider go for a good allmountain board, they'll appreciate the tip/tail spring ollies to tables & rails:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Madd makes a nice twin, it's supposedly a hot as hell ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 155 seems like a good length for a strong rider. I'm about 140 buck neked and 5'11"-6'0" depending on the day. My favorite soft board was a 152 until it's retirement. Now I ride it's brother, the 156. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 155 it is. I'll probably end up ordering a Prior MFR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
