snowboardfast Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Anyone ridden both of these boards alot so that they could tell if there is much diffrence between the 2 or are they pretty close? I have ridden both but would not mind trying the 2 again. I own a 172 AX and only tried a 164 2 once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frunobulax Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Cannot say anything about the Donek, but I'd prefer the PB Bastard (162 or 168 coming for this season) to the #2 in 164 cm. I've ridden the 164 #2 and the 162 Bastard, and IMO the Bastard is the smoother and easier ride. The #2 in the 164 lenght is very stiff and wide thus you need to be careful with weight distribution. Additionally there's quite a bit of righting momentum (is this the correct expression?). The #2 in 158 cm is not so stiff and also easier to ride. The Bastard is also not that stiff, and more finely tuned. Very good board overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanci Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If you're buying this just for sometimes on hero snow, go with the basterd If it will be your main ride, go titanal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I do remember the 2 being stiff but I thought it was easy to ride and I took it down a pretty steep run on my 2nd run and did not have a problem. It felt comfortable right away. I think I only did 2 runs on it as it was very cold that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
