carvinsno Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi all, Been away from the sport for a while (over 10 years) and just recently found the website....... Feel like that redheaded bumble bee costume wearing litle girl in the Blind Melon video "No Rain"..... this website is the sh$%!!!!!! Put on a few pounds since I've been away and am currently around 220. Used to ride a 162 nitro epic when I was between 180-185 and used to tear it up. Am now riding a 160 nitro works racing and think I need to get a longer board probably with a stiffer flex..... maybe greater sidecut?? Any suggestions for a good next step to add to the quiver? Thanks! Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Where are you riding? RT? Lib? WT? Wisp? Other? I would say that your choice of resorts may influence the board that you choose. What kind of riding do you like to do? Depending on where you are in MD, there may be some guys who you could get together with to test their gear. I am at Bear Creek, PA and you are welcome come ride some of my gear sometime. I'll also be hittin' up SRT this Sunday if you want to try something there.

Jack M Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 welcome back! I have often thought that about the Blind Melon video. For boards check out Coiler, Prior, Donek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
