BulletProof Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The price is pretty good but I'm worried I'll get another leg-burning power board. It's a F2 Speedster Equipe, probably a 2008 'RS' based on the 169 length. I presently run a HotShine 168, super-stiff, super small SCR, the F2 has a 14m SCR (if it's a RS!). My question is, I'm used to stiff boards, but I'm looking for something that won't be as deadly on my legs when the conditions are rougher (ie ice chunks and generally crappy days). The F2 Equipe are stiff, but are they manageable? I have no problems with the Hot on good days, but when the going gets rough and I'm faced with constant edge chatter, my thighs and back feel like calling it a day after 2 runs...

Jack M Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Why not get a modern metal freecarver? Coiler VSR or Stubby? Donek Metal Freecarve? Prior WCRM/FLC? Much easier on the legs, much nicer flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The hot shine was never considered stiff by anyone on hardboots, only the freestyle crowd. I would venture to say that the F2 will be stiffer by a significant margin. If it is a demo than why not take it out first to see if you like it or not?

trailertrash Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 You might want to mention your weight and what level you are riding at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletProof Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The F2 I was looking at was only riden 4 times, and is on sale for 399$ Canadian, hence the reason I'm not looking at any Coilers in the present time (even though I wish I could have Bruce's High-school's Girlfriend!). I've learnt Alpine Boarding on a Factory Prime and a PJ (hence the fear damaging/bending/delaminating soft boards). weight: 185lbs Burton Reactor Catek OS Will try to find some TD2 or 3 with Medium rubbers...

Mr.E Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 At 185lbs you shouldn't have any issue pushing around the 169 RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
