leeho730 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi, I am considering buying my first metal board, and donek fc metal is my first choice (I also like to buy virus ufc, but it's too pricy at the moment). I am 5'7" 145lbs and I want to have a board that can do all: an all-round carver that can do tight sl turn to long gs turn and can be used in some narrow trails. I was initially thinking about buying 163 but Sean also mentioned 167 and I've heard 171 is also an excellent ride. Which size do you think will fit my spec and purpose? Any help will be appreciated, and would love to hear some feedback from riders with similar weight. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltie Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Have a Metal FC 171 and think very highly of it. My size is 5'11" at 155-160 lbs. The board works well in most conditions. See this thread which includes my review: http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30030 Would go with Sean's recommendation for the 167. His advice has been pretty accurate on the boards I have ordered through him. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 without seeing you ride, your specs and your post make me think the 167 would fit the bill. However if *tight* slalom is the priority, then maybe the 163. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
