powdahbonz Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just weighing options here and I've read others feedback on the WCR181 and it gets a lot of love but I've been riding Burton FP's for years and thinking about breaking away. Wrestling w/ a lightly used FP186 or 182, the Prior and the Nidecker. I'm an east coaster that likes big and small turns but if I have to keep the fp171 for shorter and go biggerrrr....the bigger fp or the prior---please opin if you will-thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffh Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 The Nidecker 170 is a great board IMO and new ones can be had for a very reasonable price if you search ebay. They are on the lively side which I prefer to what I feel are overly damp Priors. For east coast trails boards around 170 are perfect IMO. I've never been comfortable with the speed and space I need with longer boards on our narrower trails and there's a HUGE difference between a Nidecker 170 and a Prior WCR 181. You better be on your game all the time with the Prior . Maybe for better riders this would not be an issue but I've got a WCR 175 for sale right now because I just can't ride it - too much board for me. But like anything else - it's best to ride before you buy if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arc2Arc Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have a Nidecker adn rode the WCR at SES i do perfer the Nidecker as i ride in the midwest on shorter narrow trails all the time. But i also am biased to a shorter turning board. My girlfriend calls me a turn freak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
