www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Check out Mark Kress's Klug team board guy. Looks sweet!!! Go good with the Burton Megaflex boots!! Still using them? Hard to imagine, but use what works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Cool, hang onto them until you get the new boots broke in. Anything will feel stiff compared to the Megaflex. If I may be so bold as to suggest you look into a boot that will allow you to use the Bomber BTS system. It would serve you well in adjusting from a softer boot to the firmer new boots. Maybe start with blue springs backed way out and go from there? The new boots will let you give the Fin-Tec or Intec heel a go too. I used to ride the MF back in the day, it was the best around. PS, the MF might be a good powder boot too. You are going to like the newer boots once you get used to them. Keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Going by your board list. The F2 is going to be softer than your Prior WCR. The Donek and Virus are wild cards, not know they build. That Burton is probably too stiff if Mark is backing away from it. You already know the Prior line and Chris is going to steer you right. (of course all the boards listed are from reputable BOL regulars) Hot Blast is probably in between the F2 and the Prior in flex. Lots of good choices. Comes down to your prefrence and the DEAL!!

nekdut Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Jack's Madd 180 would work well even at 200lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Jack's Madd 180 would work well even at 200lbs. I think he may have sold it to a lovely young lady? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrutton Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Chris' H's Prior is looking like the top contender at the moment. The Burton's in maybe position #2 (anyone guesstimate when it was built?). The 181 Prior from Boris is a hair smaller than I want I think, but the photos are beautiful.

Snowman Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I am guessng the Burton 8 years old or under. I origionally bought it form Ben Scheuerman so he might have some more insight. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
